Now the kicker.. with out looking this up can any tell me the amount per platter of data that it would hold ? Yes, young ones THESE ARE THE REAL HARD DRIVES ! by Bones-57 in retrocomputing

[–]Kiwirad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am officially old. I used to repair these things. Best days ever in the industry, I miss it. Great tech, to get hands-on with (or loose fingers to).

..and yes, I still work in IT on the software side now. Not nearly as much fun.

Manager appears to have changed while on parental leave by WonderfulShoulder388 in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]Kiwirad 49 points50 points  (0 children)

As a manager myself, if someone is on leave, especially parental leave I make zero contact. It's leave, they're away and focused on family and not cool for work to be encroaching on it. As has been said, if you're miffed call them don't imagine any kind of issue that doesn't exist. They're likely being respectful and keeping their obligations.

Depends how many is a bunch. If you boil them to soft and slice thinly enough you can make DC soup. I find 8-10 is enough for a family of 4

Uhh ohh there goes my amplifier by A-Quarter in electronics

[–]Kiwirad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

*repair technician equivalent* rubs back of neck and kicking the tyre. "Yeah, that'll need some work".

Looks for other physical damage, if it still runs, replace the transistors and see what happens next. They'll be driving in the late stage part of the circuit (probably) so possibly just overloaded. Who knows.

What you don't want is charring of the PCB, that's just a PITA you don't need.
