    GE / Fanuc WorkMaster II [IBM 7186-510] WorkMaster Interface Adapter page created

    GE / FANUC WorkMaster Interface page is VERY incomplete, I don't have any WorkMaster Interface cards, nor do I use LogicMaster to control Series Ninety PLCs. I do have pics of the WS6AI IC647WMI620 parallel interface only [images from Mike Lycett]. WMI cards are also called the Work Station...

    SimWare Single-station Access Module [SAM] Direct connect T/R !

    Folks, I _think_ SimWare was out of Ontario, and joined Wiremold. www.wiremold.com BUT the SAM was produced in @1990, while the earliest Internet Archive snapshot is a single one in Dec 1996. Does anyone have a line on this product? SimWare Single-station Access Module [SAM] [From Gooble]...

    iSCSI on Windows 98 ? [Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator 1.x versions]

    Folks, I love ramming my head into the wall because it feels so good when I stop... Does Win98 support iSCSI? Were any PCI iSCSI HBA released with W98 support [maybe an M$ iSCSI Software Initiator included] ? Does iSCSI Bridging eliminate the need for an initiator? Things do not look promising...

    Looking for info on Baytec 2000 SCSI Network

    Folks, I was searching for "IP over SCSI" to see if there was any great developments, then I searched for SCSI communications or somesuch, and I found this: Baytec 2000 which is different from what I was prepared for. There is pitifully little real information on this, so relying on period news...

    Cassette BASIC and storage

    Folks, some tidbits have arisen on the Cassette BASIC used on PS/2s, not much, but it makes me curious... The early PS/2s, 8550-8580, use Cassette BIOS C1.0 [32KB in size], I DIMMly remember. The later PS/2s use Cassette BASIC C1.10 [32KB in size], but it is not easily accessible. Cassette...

    Period serial port pinout for serial devices [1980s]

    Folks, I have been unsuccessful in grokking the odd IBM PS/2 Model 90 DB25 [or DE25] pinout. I have found period user manuals and articles for various third party computers and hobbyist pubs. Seems like the serial standards were less inclusive in the mid 80s, and some manufacturers made some...

    Creating PC DOS 7.1 ?

    Folks, the last version of PC DOS was 7.01, but there were further developments that were used in things like Norton Ghost and other utilities. At one time, I was idly dithering adding these upgraded components to PC DOS 2000 [PC DOS 7.01]. My DIMM memories suggest they are in the Server Guide...

    What good are S-100 systems for?

    Through a chain of events, I was shipped an S-100 a year or so ago, and the buyer was going to come over from the UK, visit some folks, swing by and pick it up, and fly back. Never happened. WBST slipped out the back door, and he's living large somewhere. So I have a S-100 in a cardboard box...

    Looking for Adaptec Nodem info [pictures, documents]

    Adaptec made an external SCSI connected Modem in '88 or so. Our tech overlords have decided to limit the knowledge of it so that the mere commoners won't go nuttier than a chocolate chip cookie under a full moon. It was sold to go with a Mac Portable. It was actually produced and sold [unlike...

    IBM SCSI Subsystem

    http://ps-2.kev009.com/ohland/Spock_Bermuda/8556_SCSI.html After probulating the SCSI firmware images, there are TWO PS/2s with a "SCSI Subsystem" connected to the local bus, the 8556 and the 9556. They use the 8032. IMHO, these Model 56 SCSI Subsystems are a unique implementation. My SWAG is...

    Help needed to better understand Micro Channel DMA Parallel Port !

    PS/2 Type 3 DMA Arbitrated Parallel Port page Folks, I've been bedeviled by the DMA Arbitrated parallel port [Type 3] since the late 90's. All the stuff on this page is my [failing?] attempt to understand the PS/2 Type 3 parallel port, from physical pin-out to registers. I do have a copy of...

    What are these "LC" components? [part of internal SCSI termination ?]

    While I was treading to and fro on the world, MAJ Tom managed to use the Ionosphere and skip me a message about a small PCB on the 8556 system board. In particular, "J21" is [was] a three pin header, but now has a small PCB on it, porpoise unknown. Look at the upper left, below the yellow DIP...

    INMOS IMS B017 IBM PS/2 Motherboard page transputer [looking for S217 drivers !]

    ASCII Console in POST page assembled [but NOT coherent]

    ASCII Console in POST page Folks, the use of an ASCII terminal [aka Console] is part of IBM PS/2 lore. It is true, I fired up a 3151 back when shipping was cheap and so were 3151 terminals. I am blissfully unaware of any part of PS/2 documentation that describes how the POST handles an ASCII...

    What MINIX versions supported Microchannel?

    I'm bi-curious, blue, on 'nix flavors that run on Microchannel (MCA) systems. Yes, MINIX is an OS designed to help students learn how to program. Yes, 2.0 has TCP/IP built-in. But 2.0 (ABICT) is ISA or compatible. 1.5 does include PC, AT, and PS/2. I wendt back to '97 in Internet Archive, and...

    XENIX on MCA Folks, I got the (working !!!) ftp directories for SLS / EFS, Necasek verified that 2.3.4q is actually 2.3.4MC (I sure hope "q" is not Apricot!) If you have repressed memories of SCO XENIX 2.32 or 2.3.4 for MC, I'd like to communicate...
