Hi, Power supplies are OK and both drives are doing the same thing. I have tried it in the single drive mode and same problem. The only thing I have found is...
Hi, Did you check the disk signals and addressing ? Did you try to run the unit with one drive attached ? If it works then one of your drives is bad, if it's...
Has anyone had any experience with repairing the 9122D other than the sticking drive problem ?? I have one that passes the power up self tests but the drive...
Hi John if that is a gpib program for control I am guessing one of two "equipment" people on the hp-agilent group might be interested in that image as well. ...
Hi, I bought a 89050A module a few months ago. I was delighted to find that inside the case it is a 82929A Programmable ROM Module fitted with one EPROM. I've...

Hi Everett, don't tempt me !!! one of the crazy ideas I put on my list some time ago was like what if I take out the complete CPU board and replace it by...
Hi Steve, let me combine the response to your last two messages. There are two different "ROM drawers" for the HP Series 80, the most common and perhaps more...
Hi again Jorge, You have confirmed my findings on this. Now, if the ROM Drawer has no logic on the board, is the EPROM Drawer similar or does it have a lot of ...
Hi Jorge, That sounds very interesting and it sounds like a good way to impliment this. In my case there is no need for the HP-IB interface as it's already ...
As I understand it with a bit of googling around, these are not just simple EPROMs and so that does not look like a way of adding ROMS to the ROM Drawer. Steve...
Hi Ash, That's very encouraging news for me as I'm sure there will be a myriad of questions I will need answered as soon as I really get going with this ...

Thanks for the information Ash, don't know if you saw my project page but finally I managed to put something together to extend the bus with a flat cable: ...
Hi Jorge, The I/O extender diving board part has HP number 5060-5983 on it. This maybe just the PC so the whole assembly (with conector) may have a different...
Is not that simple as finding an EPROM with the right pinout. The expansion ROMs are a proprietary HP design that include part of the address decoding logic,...

Hi Alan, I remember those printers and may have even had one or two with the HPIB interface go through my hands over the years. OK, that makes it interesting ...

Hi Steve, the HPIB printer might not be as difficult as you imagine. A lot of these printers were MX80, RX80, and FX80s with an optional HPIB interface fitted...
I meant that, since Bruce maintains an archive of HP and Tek stuff already, it might be useful to provide him with S80 ROM contents, so the information is not...
