A fellow in Australia has emailed us the ML4400 users manual and it is up at ftp.flippers.com/TTL in the Arium ML4400 directory. I am slowly doing a page capture to compress it.... John :-#)#

Re: Fluke & Dynamic Ram test?
by Kev 10 Nov '02

Well my biggest problem is the Williams video boards of the early 80s. If you put the 9100 in auto RAM test mode this will fail because (I'm guessing here) that it isn't properly writing & reading from the 2nd page of the RAM & higher. If you manual do 2 writes & 2 reads it works fine but the auto test cann't handle it. There is a big write up in the 9100 Application manual specifically on handling Dynamic RAMs but I figured I'd solict for a bit of insight first.

HP16500A Disks
by Kurt Mahan 10 Nov '02

I've got an HP16500A that I need to get a set of disks for. Does anybody have a set they could dup? Or anybody want to part with an HP16500B/C mainframe so I could move to DOS? I'd also like to get the disks for the peripherals I've got: HP16510A HP16540A / HP16541D (these are a set) If anybody could point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!

Could someone point me to the 9010 schematics? For some reason I thought I had saved a link to them but I can't find it. Thanks! Kurt kmahan(a)xmission.com

9100 software upgrade to rv6.0
by John Robertson 10 Nov '02

10 Nov '02

I was doing some digging through the software on the two upgrade ROMs (included in the 40MEG upgrade kit) and find that it appears the 9100 can be modified to support up to 16MB of on-board RAM. Interesting....but unaccessible currently...at least until we crack the NVRAM checksum... John :-#)#
