RX02 problem

2018-02-03 Thread Bill Gunshannon via cctalk
Do we have any real RX02 experts?  My long time running RX02 seems to have decided to go on strike.  When I try to access it now it repeatedly loads and unloads the heads but never reads anything.  I can usually break out of it with control-C.  Attempts to boot from it have the same effect.

RX02 Emulator Problem

I finally got a system running again and hooked up my first AK6DN RX02 Emulator.  Worked, up to a point.  I can boot from it and read and write to it.  However, every once once and a while after doing a bunch of accesses the Green LED stays on and the system freezes.  Sometimes I can get back

It looks like there's probably enough interest for me to pick up a spool of the stuff. I haven't heard back from the eBay guy, but if nothing else my local supplier is a known quantity. I'll start looking into costs for N connectors, terminator availability, etc. Thanks, Jonathan On Fri, Feb 2, 2

HI Wayne, I believe the KVA is increased because of the extra memory card. I have a 5100 with 0.4 and another with 0.336. The 0.4 has an extra memory card and is BASIC and APL as opposed to just BASIC. The printed 5100 badging on the front is not consistent but sometimes if it doesn't have it p
