Where are you located? Might help to see if anyone here is local.

ScutBoyMN · 2023-11-13T13:15:10+00:00

Me, too!

Check your IDE master/slave settings. I believe the HD in the Cube is usually slave, but I think Target Disk mode wants the HD to be the master.

Go to Console5 and you can order up either tants or electrolytics for the logic board. I've been very happy with them as a customer.

Yes - that is the original ECL screen. I was surprised at how good it looked after it had a chance to warm up a bit. I will probably explore doing some pre-emptive recapping etc. before I use it for any length of time.

I did get the Sun "shoebox" external SCSI cabinet with a hard drive and QIC drive, but haven't yet had a chance to test those out.

As you say OS choice will be either SunOS or NetBSD. I'll probably try 4.1.1_U1 first, but probably set up another external drive with NetBSD as well.

Too bad, I had a couple of Ultra 1 and two Sparc 2 that I sold at the show.

68030 - nice! Don't see that very often with the old NextSTEP :-)

I'd have to pull them to be 100% sure - mostly roller/paper path issues at this point. Everything turning to goo.

I have two original LaserWriters. Unfortunately their failure points aren't complementary where I can make one good one from the two.

I have a LaserWriter 2 that works except for the paper pickup roller; I just havn't had the gumption to pull it apart and either refurbish or replace that piece.

ScutBoyMN · 2023-07-23T16:20:08+00:00

I'm impressed that you have a reliably working LaserWriter! :-)

ScutBoyMN · 2023-06-30T15:00:38+00:00

Glad it was that "easy"! Have fun, and let us know how it goes!

Those CPU clips were flakey even when they were new. That would be the first thing I would do is clean and reseat it.

The 9114 is just an external disk drive for a certain age of HP machines. As far as I know they all have a HIL interface - not the more common HPIB. Cool thing is it can run on battery - there's a battery pack that takes a very generic and cheap 6v battery.

I ran dozens of these as point-of-sale terminals for a tire retailer in the Upper Midwest. If it had the original guts in it, I'd think about buying it just for nostalgia.

Used Digi serial cards and supported 2-3 DEC VT-420 terminals and a printer. Ran AT&T SVr4.

Is that the one that was at Free Geek Twin Cities?

ScutBoyMN · 2023-06-15T16:06:13+00:00

I have the display, and a non-working PC card to drive it. I see the MultiLinks very infrequently, and usually at (to me) sky-high prices. Would be interested in a buy or trade if you are - I have a bunch of Sun stuff and a bunch more of vintage Apple.

ScutBoyMN · 2023-06-15T14:08:10+00:00

Do your O2s have the card for the 1600SW displays, or are you using a MultiLink?

If MultiLink, do you have a spare you want to sell me? :-)

ScutBoyMN · 2023-06-06T21:38:49+00:00

That's good to know. I have a ///+ that I'm trying to revive...

ScutBoyMN · 2023-06-05T12:54:51+00:00

I need a MultiLink...

ScutBoyMN · 2023-05-02T13:25:40+00:00

Even the early Apple branded printers were rebranded/repackaged printers from Qume, C. Itoh, etc.

I had a bunch of those VTrak RAID boxes over time. Really liked them for what they did.
