Hello, all:
Does anyone have the jumper settings for a Maxtor XT4380S hard drive?
This thing is part of a Sun-clone "shoebox." The Maxtor Web site only has
information on the drive's geometry and not the jumpers. I can't seem to get
the SCSI address to show anything other than 4.
TIA!

I'd like to see less Microsoft bashing in my inbox; I'm on this list for
the discussion of classic computers, NOT the benefits of Linux vs Windows,
NOR the arguments about HTML. If the FAQ/guidelines for the mailing list
say NO HTML, thats all there need be said... "read the FAQ". Please, lets
cut down the traffic on these subjects and get back to the things we all
enjoy discussing!!!

<grrrrrr!>
The more I hear about Billy-boy, and the more I see of his company's
"products" and arrogant attitudes, the less I like either one! Is there no
amount of bandwidth waste or code-bloat that Micro$quat won't stoop to?!
I knew there was a reason I'd started to get into Unix boxes. Thanks, guys!

I do if I need portability (on the road). I have a scripted modem tool
that interacts with ISPs shell and mail to download mail and send mail.
storage is critical (120k ramdisk!) so bloat is problematic.

Your avoiding the question. If I were limited any of those I'd need
tools specific to them. As there are many people that do not or cannot
afford the latest and greatest it's not a moot point.
In reality my 486dx2/50 with 8meg of ram is the primary mailreader.
However I'm not about to drag up eudora or nyetscrape to read mail as
it's too slow for simple plain text. Of course if you sincerely believe
that using a 486 is stupid I'll gladly accept a P100 donation.

Just in case someone has missed their advertising blitz, the Discovery
Channel is showing a special called Robots Rising tonight at 9pm ET. From
the little preview on the Discovery web site (what I can see of it with
lynx) it looks like there should be a lot of shots of classic machines in
action....

<But seriously, is it so hard to patch Linux mail for HTML?
<>There is the little matter of some several million (or more)
<>unix(linux, and related cuzins) systems out there where HTML is
<>far from a standard.
First off Standard in this case refers to established and present on
every system.
My reference to cusins referes to the non-public source unixes like Venix
and also the non-unix, non-DOS, non-NT OSs that exist. Since I'll never
run nyetscrape on the z80, 8088 or PDP-11.
Sure it's possible (trivial) to write your own handler to strip the
excess baggage, but I personally feel its rude to impose it on the reader.

<That said, it is certainly very possible to damage individual chips and/o

The basic wrist strap safety ground is usually adaquate. More often some
basic care is all that is needed to insure nothing bad happens.
However, The last day or so in eastern MA, I've been able to draw sparks
over 0.25" with ease and there is no question that can be damaging.

OK,
What HTML utility works on my pro350 under venix.
Same question for my PDP-11s running RT-11?
Or my ISP shell account (choice of ELM, PINE or MAIL)?
Then there is the matter of my laptop (EPSON PX-8 running CP/M-80)?
How about my VS2000 tunning ultrix-4.2 off a 71meg disk?
Then there is the matter of my vaxen running VMS-5.5?
The assumption of HTML standard, is modern CPU, lot's of ram, fast modem
big disk and bandwidth to waste when the message doesn't warrent any of
the above. This is particulary true when in some cases the message is
repeated twice in clear text and HTML. Myself I find ti analogous of a
ham firing up a full kilowatt to talk to the guy across the street,
excessive and burdening to others.
Both RFCs are not retro specification and do not make HTML required.
They do make clear what HTML is and hwo to deal with it.
