ISO: Docs for Dilog DQ100

Hey all -- Trying to track down technical info for a Dilog DQ100 controller. This is a QBus controller compatible with the RK11 (or RKV11, in this case) that works with various RK05-compatible drives. (See the brochure here: http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/dilog/brochures/DQ100_Brochure_Aug1980.pdf

This will mostly interest TRS-80 enthusiasts on this list. Being a TRS-80 enthusiast myself it has been a long-time dream of mine to create a specialised TRS-80 search engine but creating a web facing search engine to crawl numerous sites, index and categorise was quite difficult on a low budget.

Nice. The bit about the PDP-1 at the skydiving world championship (in Orange, MA) is still a well known item in the history of skydiving. paul > On Apr 1, 2019, at 5:23 PM, Liam Proven via cctalk > wrote: > > DEC archival docs tell the story of the genesis of the PDP-1: > > https:/

can you show me an example? Long shot but I can at least check to see if I have any in my 360 docs. I have mostly programming manuals and general hardware docs but a stray ALD may be present. On Mon, Apr 1, 2019 at 10:29 PM Paul Berger via cctalk < cctalk@classiccmp.org> wrote: > > On 2019-04-0

Burroughs BU4400 tape drive. What is it?

2019-04-01 Thread Mike van Bokhoven via cctalk
Hi all, I just bought this Burroughs BU4400 tape drive: https://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=113439 As the seller says, Google comes up empty. Seems strange, I would have expected some reference somewhere. Does anyone know anything about it? I'm going to pick it up this evening.

Judging from the controls and lack of mechanical buffering, I'd pronounce this to be a tape verifier, or possibly a cleaner. The "half cycle" and "slow" are clues. FWIW, --Chuck On 4/1/19 9:42 PM, Mike van Bokhoven via cctalk wrote: > Hi all, > > I just bought this Burroughs BU4400 tape driv
