Barnett Instruments AN/URM-105C Multimeter

I spotted a vintage multimeter in an antique shop in Startup WA for $24. Didn't have a chance to test it, but it looks in good condition under the cover. https://photos.app.goo.gl/sTQF8g7jXx2TMKqCA If someone wants it, I would be happy to acquire and ship it at cost. -- Charles

Re: SMD disk needed

The controller is an Interphase 2181 and it should take any disk that works with that. LMI supported Eagles and smaller CDC drives at first, but later you could define drives of arbitrary geometry in setup and later directly in the ROM. I know that Super Eagles work at least at the software leve

Re: SMD disk needed

couple of problems.. The bit transfer rate went up as time went on, so the 8" >300mb drives have higher bit rates They also changed the tags to be able to handle more cylinders I think you're going to need to find an 11" Fujitsu Eagle or maybe a Super Eagle On 9/22/18 2:44 PM, Daniel Seagrave

Does anyone within driving distance of central Illinois have a SMD drive I can borrow for awhile until I can get some kind of SMD emulator working? Anything 450 MB or bigger will do. I need one for the Lambda.

How about removing the (presumably aluminum) platters, case castings, and any other aluminum parts, grinding it all down to fine aluminum flakes, making thermite out of that, then using it to slag the rest of the non-aluminum parts? Then shoot the slag pile with a .50 BMG. Then drop that into
