Hi Who has experience with the TMS1000 in a lot of games. Want to dump
ram electronically (by 'test mode' ?) not decapping. Must be some new
software out there that can do this now, or am I daydreaming.
Thanks

The easiest way to tell is whether the faceplate on the drive is molded in such
a way that it creates an integra

That's good enough for software distributions. I don't think
I've ever seen a distribution tape that was 32 track.
9145 added a bunch of fancy buffering HPIB command stuff to get
it to stream at 120ips.

No, I fixed the capstan, and I'm using brand new IOTAMAT tapes still in
the original shrink wrap, but only one drive will even certify tapes and
none of them will write them. It just faults, like you said. I have a

If it hasn't been used recently, it is a certainty the capstan is goo.
A friend helped me make a new capstan for one of the 9145s that I have, it
worked until the logic croaked. I was able to load exactly ONE tape before
it died. I'm in the process of buying a refurbished one from 360 Technologies
Not what you asked for, but I successfully used HPDrive to emulate HP-IB
devices (disk and tapes). I never had any luck with physical tape drives.
I've only ever seen HP-UX 5.1 on floppies. To install something more
modern, it would be much easier to boot it over the network.

This brings up an interesting question. For those of us with a 9000/300 but
no SCSI (my 350 is strictly HP-IB), I've still had no joy ever getting a
9144A to work. I'm going to get another tape drive from Stan when I can get
a chance to pick it up, but has anyone booted one of these off floppy?

And it does! Quite a few values come back wrong,
I've successfully booted both my HP 9000/380 and 425e systems from a
Toshiba SD-M1711 DVD-ROM drive jumpered to 512 byte/sector mode.
In my case I was using CD images provided by David Collins from
hpmuseum.net. The boot CD image that I got from him has the same md5sum

I have a Sony CDU561-SC (it came in a Sun 411 case - not sure if Sun
ever sold them like this or if it was custom) that worked just fine to
boot an HP 9000/425e (one of the last 68k models, I think?) the other
day. Its been pretty handy for various old workstations (except for my
SGI Indy who reall
I've stayed with the Toshibas although I have a Sony that supports the
block size as well. The thing to do is look for external CD-ROMs from like
SUN DEC etc. Or from the SUN 3800 I need to get rid of.

Couple of related things, does anyone have a list of SCSI CDROMs known to boot
on the 68K 9000s?
I've ordered another A1999 to see if my drive is just bad, and have started
digging through my
boxes of drives for other models to test.

So while doing that I just discovered what I _think_ (maybe I'm just not being
smart enough to see that it's somehow 'doing the right thing') is the wierdest
hardware bug I've ever seen.

BDOUT; I'm triggering on that, and without any prints it wouldn't be easy to
find on the MSV11-J. Picking it up off the KDF11-A was the easy way to go.

Thanks for posting the 'fix'; the problem, and that workaround, are described
on the 'News' sidebar on the Main Page, but of course people going straight
