ChanServ changed the topic of ##yamahasynths to: Channel dedicated to questions and discussion of Yamaha FM Synthesizer internals and corresponding REing. Discussion of synthesis methods similar to the Yamaha line of chips, Sound Blasters + clones, PCM chips like RF5C68, and CD theory of operation are also on-topic.

Foone, ej5: maybe you can help me with this: my dad has a ton of test equipment components for hp, tektronix, etc... are people interested in that stuff and where would I reach out?
<balrog>
he's at the point where he wants to get rid of them
<andlabs>
components?
<andlabs>
or whole units?
<balrog>
components
<balrog>
lots of "specialty" stuff
<ej5>
hard to say, it depends on how new it is too
<andlabs>
well you would also have to say
<andlabs>
afk
andlabs has quit [Quit: My MacBook has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz…]
<Foone>
a simple, common problem in my experience. it's haunted.
<cr1901_modern>
Well it would be nice if the error code gave me an more precise address other than "it's somewhere in these 4096 bytes"
<cr1901_modern>
I honestly don't know what could cause this. It's not a power problem; I remove the floppy controller and the issue persists
<cr1901_modern>
Oh right... the floppy drive I use for experiments, albeit not often these days, still works as of yesterday. So that was a nice surprise.
<cr1901_modern>
Figure it would die being exposed to the "elements" (dust), but I kept it clean. Still wish I had an enclosure for it
