I have typed in the assembly source for couple of the missing utilities for which I was looking (there are a few listings in the LFD-400 manual), so I now have a pretty complete and useful Percom disk system for the SWTPC 6800. I also wrote FLOP2PC and PC2FLOP utilities to archive a disk to a PC

Re: Interesting device on eBay -- CDC clock generator?

Unfortunately, I have not seen such a drum. The device in question though really looks RF-ish to me. The feedthrough caps suggest DC control voltages that might bias the diodes to switch any port to the center and then there’s some matching going on with the meandering inductor on the PCB an

Re: bitsavers is showing down here

There was a massive failure, and the cctalk and bitsavers domains are being restored. thanks Jay, by the way. He had a regression due to a problem where the hosting occurred and he's working around it.  I'll leave it at that, but I believe there may be rebuilds involved, which may mean parts
