Prime 5340 needs a new home

[Jim Wilcoxson]

Hi folks! I'm downsizing in the next few months and have a 5340 I'm
ready to let go. I acquired this system after the emulator was
finished, but it did help me with a STEX (stack extend) instruction
bug that I couldn't figure out. Because of a lack of documentation, I
ended up writing test programs to see how STEX worked in different
scenarios.

HARDWARE

This system has 32MB of memory, the 5340 CPU, which I think is about 7
MIPS (vs a 6350 @ ~15 MIPS, a 9955 @ 2.5 MIPS, or a 750 at 1 MIP).
It's supposed to run on 30A service, but someone changed the plug and
it runs on regular 110/120V household current. The original microcode
floppy drive was a little flaky so I replaced it and made a read-only
copy of the u-code disk. Sometimes it is touchy during boot up,
requiring a few extra SYSCLR's or VIRY's, but usually it boots fine.

There is a BMTC (Burst Mode Tape Controller) w/no cables, an EAGLE
ICS2 (3?) controller for async comms, but no cables, LAC cards, or
card cage. With a 5340, these were normally in a 2nd cabinet with the
tape drive, and I don't have that cabinet. There's also an IDC
Intelligent Disk Controller, 2 675MB SCSI drives, and an LHC300 TCP/IP
controller. Unfortunately, there was a loud pop a couple of years
ago, and the LHC300 has not worked since then. There's also an AUI/
10BT transceiver attached to the LHC300 so you can use regular 10BaseT
cable (whatever everyone thinks of as Ethernet cable these days).

The system has 3 power supplies, but 1 is not working. It runs fine
with the other 2.

SOFTWARE

This machine has Primos rev 23.4, one of the latest revs of Primos,
and some other interesting software:

- Prime CC compiler (V-mode)
- Prime CI compiler (I-mode)
- Emacs
- PL/P & SPL (Prime internal PL/I compilers for OS dev)
- F77 Fortran 77 compiler
- Prime FTN compiler

Below is a log of the system startup, showing some of the programs in
use, etc.

TRANSPORTATION

The system is a 29 inch cube and weighs 600-650 pounds and is in my
basement. I have the shipping crate it came in. Back in 2007-2008,
it cost me around $600 to have it crated and shipped from California
to Indiana, for shipping estimating purposes. You'll also have to pay
movers to get it out of the basement: getting it down there was a 3-
man job on a dolly, but going against gravity will be a whole 'nother
ball of worms and will require professional movers I think. It could
probably be disassembled and taken up in pieces, though the chassis
itself is probably close to 200lbs; just the *LID* on the thing is a
hunk of metal that weighs ~50lbs.

If possible, I'd prefer to give everything to 1 person rather than
send it out in bits and pieces. If you are interested in this system
or know someone who is, my email address is prirun at gmail.com.
Thanks!

In case it wasn't clear, I don't want any money for this system. I
didn't pay anything myself, other than the transportation charges.
When I had it shipped here, I didn't pay for insurance since its value
would be hard to determine and it could be argued that the value is
zero. I think the shipping company we used to build the custom crate,
crate it, and ship it here was: http://boxbros.com

[Jim Wilcoxson]

My zip is 47130, for the shipping estimate.

It's on a 20A circuit and hasn't blown it yet! :)

I think I was wrong, and this system originally had a 20A plug on it,
the kind with one horizontal prong to indicate it requires 20A service
- not 30A. On the back it says it uses 16A @ 120V, or 13A @ 240V.
I'm guessing those are maximums. I have a UPS with a power usage
meter, but the 5340 would probably overload it.

[matt weber]

I believe the main output of the switching power supplies is limited
to 120 amps at 5V, so maximum draw is probably about 750 watts per
supply. However Switching supplies are notorious for their relatively
low power factor, so the amperage is significantly higher than you
might expect.

I don't think the 5340 processor draws more than about 40 amps, and
figure each I/O controller is good for about 10 amps. So it is
unlikely that the actual power requirements are much in excess of 800
watts

I should not guarantee the 5xxx series, but all other Prime hardware
has linear powers, yes. Beasts they are; too. The standard power is
called tne "130A", because that is the 5V output they give. They
are transformer beasts, taking 5 backplane slots and weight 20+ kilograms.

When moving the Prime cabinets it is standard procedure to remove the
power supplies first; because the weight may damage the backplane when
moved.

So are these 5340 power supplies switching power supplies or some type of
linear? Giant magnetics + switching sounds like it might be a preregulated
linear, something you don't see these days.
