lkk@mit-eddie.UUCP (Larry Kolodney) (10/14/84)
I'm posting this for a friend. Please reply to me by mail, I don't read these groups. Thank you. -larry kolodney __________ ----------------------------------------------------------------- This is quite a bit off the beaten track, but I thought I'd give it a try. If there are any UUCP lists which might address the issue (a net.electronics, maybe? or maybe even net.general? I can't reach UUCPland from here) I'd appreciate someone forwarding this there (once, please). I am in need of a rather obscure microprocessor/IO controller for an Aiwa M800 cassette deck. The processor controls the autobias adjust for the deck. Mine apparently crapped out, and Aiwa says they discontinued the tape deck in April---hence they won't sell me a new microprocessor. I'd be willing to pay some reasonable amount for the right part, or even for a similar deck that for some other reason doesn't work and is about to be scrapped. I'd aldo be more than willing to shower heaps of thanks and praise for anyone who can direct me to a place I can get this part. Okay, 'nuff of that. The part itself is specified as Aiwa part number 82-155-616-01, a "uCOM43-546C155". It's got 42 (yep, 42) pins on it. It's quite probable that this thing is an I/O controller with a mask-programmed ROM in it. This makes a close substitute, of course, very much at issue. If anyone knows how to find such an obscure part, or (heaven forbid) has an old deck they don't want for some reason which has a working one, I'd be very grateful indeed. To reply to me, send to FONER at MIT-MC if you're on the ARPAnet. UUCP users who can't hit the ARPAnet can reply directly if they know some working route to mitccc or mit-charon. (My username is simply "foner" on both of those machines.) Please, if you reply also to the list, include me as a separate recipient so I'll be sure to see the message in my mailbox. If all these methods fail, but you're pretty sure you've got the right part, you can call me collect at 617/577-1510 anytime, or send SnailMail to Leonard Foner, 4 Ames St, Cambridge, MA 02139 USA. Thanx much! <LNF> ------- -- larry kolodney (The Devil's Advocate) UUCP: ...{ihnp4, decvax!genrad}!mit-eddie!lkk ARPA: lkk@mit-mc
