An 80286 motherboard, NIB

2015-05-20 Thread Electronics Plus
Found another goodie, saved from the scrapper.

VLSI high performance Baby AT Turbo mainboard 12 MHZ Zero-Wait

Up to 4MB DRAM

6x16-bit and 2x8-bit ISA slots

Will require a separate hard/floppy controller, video card, memory, CPU, and
80287 if you want one.

Supports 360kb, 1.2MB, 720KB, and 1.44MB floppies

Includes manual.

Note: this motherboard does NOT have slots for 30-pin or 72-pin memory.
They all need to be socketed chips, which I do NOT have.

 

Make an offer, take it home!

 

I also have new hard/floppies controllers, still in the box.

Re: 54 TK50 tapes on eBay

There might be rubber parts in there.


Nope, I like them better than TK50s, though, because you pop off the two
C rings and the head assembly
lifts up to clean, which is necessary after every tape you try to read.


I think I have one or two TZ30 somewhere. Maybe I should look more at them.
But the TK50 is really easy to clean. You just remove the 3 screws that 
holds the cover plate, and then you just clean the heads where they are.


But yes, you do need to clean the heads a lot on those drives. I believe 
I mentioned that in my original reply. :-)



TK50 tapes stick or gum up at the ends just like QIC carts do. I haven't
tried baking them. Thankfully
there are almost none in the queue right now to read and hopefully it
will stay that way.


Interesting. I haven't seen that. And they construction is totally 
different from QIC tapes as well, unless my memory is failing me even more.

She mentioned some DEC cables. Very thick with 15 pin connectors. Not very 
helpful I know but if it's close to what someone is looking for you may be able 
to get more info from her directly.

Like what? Like most people on this list, I'm far enough away that 
I can't
just drive over (especially on such little notice), but if there's 
something
good there, perhaps a local DEC collector can help, or I could pay 
someone to
go get it. But without having _some_ idea what's there Any 
cables? (Those
seem to usually be in short supply.) Any chance of some pictures, 
if you have
no idea what's what?

Thank you for looking that up. I have several different 8041 and 8041A
datasheets, but apparently not that particular one.
