If anybody has an Andromeda Q-bus MFM hard drive/floppy
controller, I have dug up the diags/utilities disk for it.
This will boot from the floppy on an LSI-11 or MicroVAX-II
and allow you to format drives and run diagnostics.
Anybody need this? I have no idea if the floppy is still
readable,
it would be good to get it archived.
I can do it if no one else volunteers

Agreed. I might have one of those controllers in my pile, information on
them is now exceptionally rare, and without things like those disks one
is sunk.
Also have an MTI ESDI Q Bus controller in my 11/73. It has its' own
serial port that allows you to configure if you know the "HELLO"

I haven't dug into this one yet, but I did get it booted in trsdos, and
the letter I on the keyboard wasn't working.
I shut it off, disconnected and removed the keyboard. I desoldered and
removed the APLS switch, opened it up, cleaned up the carbon pad and the
contacts below it, reassemble

So, on this Model III I'm working on the following keycaps are missing:
1/! key
right shift key
Looks like keycaps from a Model III, and possibly a model I would work.
Probably a Model IV keycap for 1/! would work, but I think the right
shift key would be different between a Model III and Mo
The TRS80 step time is leisurely.
If the problem is the PC step time, it probably won't matter for TRS80
use.

Early model I will not fit, but the last of the model I keyboards might.

OK, you're on. It is a 5.25 " disk in RX50 format, RT-11
file structure, and bootable on both PDP-11 and uVAX-II.
let me know where to send it.

My RA81 print set is REV A.
I can ship the RM80 pocket guide for scanning, but want it back. I'm
shipping some other things to a list member, and will see if he will scan
it. It is a copy, about 40 pages. EK-0RM80-001
