Today I picked up a Rainbow 100. The seller bought it new for a specific
need and he says that it had been sitting in his barn since '84. It
looks like it was a dry barn because things look pretty clean for the
most part aside from a thick layer of dust on everything.
What I got was the
Good news. At our AHCS club meeting today, someone there just happened
to have a keyboard with the correct code page and connector for my
terminal. Yvan was correct in that the terminal doesn't operate at all
without one. With the keyboard, everything came alive. The machine

If the pulley diameter was 19.0mm, the new pulley would be exactly 22.8mm. It
is a simple ratio problem. The motors rotation is synchronous to the line
frequency. It turns 50/60 too slow. To speed it up is 6/5. The speed of the
belt is proportional to the radius of the pulleys.

I like the way Tektronix handled this issue in the 8560 (service manual on
Thanks Yvan. I was hopeful when the terminal output the standard status

a blue K in the bottom center below the line - which I assumed was a

anywhere on that

Even LCM has had issues. For example, with IBM 43xx boxes. I seem to remember
their first box died with memory issues and the second had PSU issues.
Not sure if the PSU is fixed.

Ok. Those are quite small. So you have one? Or those are not yours?
If you have one, and a way to accurately measure it, making more will be easy
for anyone with a lathe.
I could do it, but surely you can find a machinist closer to home?

It maybe that the DECW$Config.exe image is bad, since that is where the
bugcheck always occurs. Although this is confusing because it did
successfully boot in console mode previously.
While it's not impossible, I doubt the problem is in the DECW$Config.exe
image. I think it is more
