RickyDean Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I would like to request from whomsoever might have it, a copy of the documentation for the Rave MX01 card. I have started going thru my storage and am trying to find out which cards and equipment will work without deeper labor, but I need manual(s) and I have done a pretty thorough search of Whtech, though I may be missing something. Can one of you point me in the right direction. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+InsaneMultitasker Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 If no one is able to locate an electronic version, I will poke through my remaining Cecure documentation for a printed copy of the manual. I still have my original MX-01 so I theoretically should have a manual. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyDean Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 Thanks Tim, I appreciate that very much. For your information, the Geneve that you modified for me with the original PFM still boots, though I have to replace the 12 mhz crystal soon. Once I get things together I'll have to try some of the new stuff. BTW, if Richard Bell doesn't repair or sell parts for the Gennys and Scsis and so forth, who does? Thanks again.

Ricky Glad to hear that. That upgrade must have taken place what, 15-20 years ago? Both Richard and I still repair hardware on an as-available basis. Some parts like the Myarc-produced gate arrays are nearly exhausted, so they are normally not sold outright. The Atmel chips used for the PFM are almost impossible to find these days, so new upgrades are nearly impossible. I usually stick to the Myarc cards though I have been known to resurrect a RAMdisk now and then. Richard also visits this forum periodically so he may share some insight of his own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyDean Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 Okay, I had contacted Richard about 7 or 8 years ago about the possibility of purchasing spare arrays and such for my Geneve's and HFDC's but quickly forgot about it as I was over in Iraq working and time as you just mentioned slipped by. And yes it was about 20 years ago as all of my stuff had sit in storage in one of my semi trailers for all these years. It had sprang some leaks and with the shifting that goes on in several movements of the trailer things got wet and/or damaged. I will be resurrecting as much as I can, but some manuals and books didn't make it, others not so well, thought it surprised me as to what did come through. I am in south Georgia and own my property and have been going through the trailers as time permits. I am currently unemployed, by choice as I am taking a course in C# programming,ASP.Net MVC 5 and MS SQL.,but that is almost over (I have to present my capstone project this week) and then I will get back to work somewhere and as money flows in I will be upgrading to some of this fine "stuff" I see about here on Atariage. Thanks again for your fine contributions to mine and many others who share this "Hobby". By the way whatever happened to Mike Maksimik, you two were my Geneve and Scsi superheroes, so to speak. Anyhow Thanks again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyDean Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 Can someone post a high res picture of the rave 99 Ramdisk with the switches set, for a TI994/A install. Can you describe in some text, which switches operate what? Since there has not been any documentation forthcoming I want to test the Ramdisk, to see if its functional. Also if there is some software I would like to get ahold of that too. Thanks for your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+InsaneMultitasker Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I had a chance to look through my documentation. I can picture the manual, and I know I had one as recently as last yet, but it is no where to be found. My Rave card was set up for the Geneve, so I cannot help you until I or someone else finds the manual. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyDean Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 Thanks Tim, maybe someone else has one in a TI setup, I have the info that you have placed in the past for the genev.e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkdrummer Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Ricky I have 3 RAVE MX01 ramdisks that I haven't used for at least 20 years. I used them with one of my Geneves like TIm. I have the documentation and disks somewhere in my immense pile of TI stuff. Give me a little time and I'll dig the stuff up. The problem after finding the documentation is getting it scanned but I think I can get that done at work once I find it. Have patience and we'll get 'er done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Yeah, there is not a whole lot out the in the wild about this gadget. There was a lead to an article that was supposed to be in a 1989 issue of the Sudbury users group newsletter, but WHTECH only has two issues, and neither one was the right one. I've attached all I have, I'm afraid none of it is what you want, but it appears that insanemultitasker wrote some software for it a long time ago. He may be the resident expert.

sparkdrummer Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Well, One down, One to go. I found the documentation for the Rave MX01 Ramdisk. I also remembered that I had an old flatbed scanner so I spent some time scanning and got the job done. The pdf file contains 4 manuals Memory Enhancement Rave_OS Software Ramdisk Software Macro Loader I forgot how much these ramdisks had going for them. I may have to remove a couple of my Horizons out of one of my systems and Rave On once again. Once I find the software disks I will upload them as well - I have all the software RAVE released for this device - including the so called enhanced Myarc XBII. The file is 47mb - It's too big for me to upload here so I guess you'll have to send me your email and I'll send it to you. -Ralph... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opry99er Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 spark, You can split your pdf into thirds and send it in three messages... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkdrummer Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 You gave me an idea Owen, I have Adobe Acrobat - so I went in to the big file and extracted the 4 seperate manuals that came with this gizmo. Sometimes an old dog (drummer) can learn new tricks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyDean Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 Thanks sparkdrummer, as you already know I received your files and they look good, now I can get this puppy working over the weekend, when Greg gets them uploaded to Whtech, then The yahoo groups can be notified too. And if It hadn't said it enough, Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 In the past to send people LARGE files I've use WETRANSFER. They allow files up to 2 gigabytes (for free). The files are automatically erased after a number of days, but I've found it to be quite useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
