I always,wanted a 30 but never had one. The thought of a 3000 with a 8 inch floppy was intriguing! The 33 was in a desk and was a freight damaged thing we picked up.. never attempted to try to fix ( no built in floppy on 33)We mainly used and maintained series 2 and 3 machines. ... at the very end we did have a series 40 but never had to work on it.Ed Sharpe - Archivist for SMECC On Tuesday, January 12, 2021 Tracy Johnson <[log in to unmask]> wrote:Ed Sharpe on this list may have a good insight.Give him time to wake up however it is 0630 in his time zone.On 1/11/21 11:28 PM, grant wrote:> External Email> Hello, I was referred here from VintHPcom at groups.io , I am trying to restore a series 30 and am hoping to get some insight, on repairing this unit. I have repaired the power supply and all is within spec. But now I need to find the fault keeping it from running.

I found by pressing dump . It will start to handshake to the drive but freezes and the halt light will light.
