Thanks! Yeah I thought this was a good old bus. I've been cleaning it like mad.. cedar is supposed to be pretty mold resistant but I think it picked up a bit from the two years sitting there with the back open. Definitely glad we don't have panthers here but the mountain looks can be just as...

The scariest animal we deal with are mountain lions. Totally unpredictable and stealthy. Several people have been attacked over the years including children.

Bird feeders are frowned upon in British California. We throw some seed out in the back every day and every day a massive flock of Stellers Jays arrives to pick it clean. Very entertaining and thankfully leave nothing for the rats. They particularly love shelled peanuts.

We follow the directives of our town pretty closely. But you can't win. First we got 'bear proof' totes. Took the bears all of 10 minutes to dismantle those. They told us to lock compost and garbage in the house. People got good about complying with that; now the bears are breaking into...

The province of Alberta has the right idea - no quarter for rats. Supposedly peppermint and blinking lights deter.. but I'm not confident creating a Starbucks disco under the hood would really work.

Have a ways to go i think before it moves under its own power again. And it's currently on 20 inch wheels which use tubed bias ply tires which are not easy to get ones hands on these days. Oh and the brake pedal goes to the floor and stays there..

I don't see too many of those where I live in BC. Tons of rats, eastern squirrels. And bears. Used to be in awe of bears. Now I just see them as super-sized raccoons.

We had an old Ford Expedition parked in the laneway prior. Constantly was removing nests and when we sold it, the new owner had a friend driving behind him who observed rats jumping out of it on the highway. Stubborn!

I'm not sure if these were rats or squirrels. The turds looked like rat, but there were huge (relative to rats) branches shoved in there. It was more like a beaver dam than most rats nests I've seen. I have trouble believing rats could manoeuvre sticks twice their size, but maybe..

Thank you! It's a weird thing.. computing in a bus..

Man I wish I knew people like that over here.

Started off as just a curiosity, then became a vintage vehicle thing (was into vintage cars long before I was into vintage computers), and then became a solution to my lack of space for a proper Youtube studio. Anyway, a few weeks ago I bought this.. it's a 1966 Blue Bird school bus, about 22...

I chipped in some as well. Thanks for doing this Al. I regret I've been so busy I didn't get to message earlier - I went down a rabbit hole and bought a school bus, and have had my hands full with that. But with these schematics I should be able to finish the host interface replica I started...

I think the host adapter was used for both the hard drive and for the image capture thing they had.

Yeah it was sitting running for a good hour while i was researching stuff on my main computer. It doesn't improve with time sadly.

Thank you! So the drive was running for a good hour while I was doing some research on my computer.. but it still would not read. Only FDISK can see a 'DOS' partition. Attempting to read causes either data or sector not found errors. Sometimes on reboot, I get a 1701 or 1801 error. The...

I can throw in some $$ too. I watched it go down last night.. man those are some expensive photocopies. :)

I have a Seagate ST-225 that is not readable by DOS and comes up with data read errors if you try. In FDISK, I can see a 'DOS' partition there but can't really do anything with it. Is there anything else I could do to recover this? I strongly suspect it is a failing hard drive due to the...

Sorry.. missed that post. Goof stuff. Standing down!

Is the 'host interface' the same for the image capture and HDD? Are they both scsi? Also regarding the schematics.. who would like to go in with me on those.. donate to CHM where they'll be scanned instead of disappearing into someone's private vault? They're just copies but Mindset stuff...
