I recently aquired 3 of these tape drives and have been trying to locate any information on them to see if they are any good/worth useing.
I was surfing the web and saw some Email messages you sent concerning these tape drives. Could you share any information you have? I would prove to be most helpful to me.
Thank You

:Er...most ISPs (except the really big guys where all bets are off)
really big guys...? well, aside from the hourlies, who would that be?
aside from aol and compuserve (which don't sell internet access, they
sell a nice new toy) the largest over here is really demon internet,
with 90k users. what about over there? are there very big companies
there that aren't the "pretend" ones?
(we're assuming you meant compushite and arseholes online in your
original comment, however.)
our experience of ISPs is generally good, except that they all seem to
have bandwidth problems. maybe that's because stuck as we are right
between america and europe, we're in the middle of nowhere. ;> ;>
anyway, this is way off-topic, so to bring it back on:
what machine did the first tcp implementation pootle along on? also
what's the smallest machine tcp has lived on so far?

I have just got a couple of VT320s and connected one to my MicroVAX II
instead of the Wyse 50 that came with it. I see more messages during
the boot process now, including a menu at the start asking me what
language to use.
When I am using Ultrix and running vi how do I get back from edit to
command mode - I can't find an Esc key on the VT320?
TIA

I finally finished this version of the web page, it now has pictures of all
of the expansion cards I have, taken with a Mavica FD-7 digital camera...
That is one great camera! Too bad I don't own my own, I had to borrow
one(actually, I took the cards to the camera)... The main page is
completely different, I made very few modifications to the links, and
added/deleted a few things from the computer page.
Go check it out at http://members.tripod.com/~jrollins/index.html.

Also SIP resistor packs, caps and even SMT devices.
I've also been known to use gas stoves and even electric stoves. I've

board damage.

Yesterday, I saw three interesting machines but I didn't get them
because A) I was short on cash and B) I'm really running out of room
around here and trying not to buy everything I see... I'm not at all
familiar with any of these, but if I were to go back and possibly get
one of them, I'd like some comments on them to help me decide:
- Amstrad PCW 8256 (z80/cpm system?)
- Sanyo MBC 550 (straight PC clone?)
- Olivetti EVT300 (I may have botched the part number from faulty
memory, it's a stylish black metal PC-ish box with one 3.5"
floppy--related to AT&T 6300?)
All were priced in the 10-15 dollar range. Which, if any, would you
buy?

That's it. MIME-enabled clients read the MIME part; MSIE4 reads the HTML
part; MS-Outlook and Outlook Express I _think_ offer the choice between the
two. Microsoft no longer considers flat-ASCII mail to be an important
fraction of the traffic.

I convinced the 5363 to give me Service mode. (Diddled with plugs behind
the keyswitch until it let me try IPLing.). The IPL fails, someone has
nuked these harddisks. (Erased, not destroyed). So, I have the whole
set of SSP, RPG, and Utilities disks, how do I do a reload? I have the directions
for doing this on a 5360, but not 5363. I'm at the microcode loading stage,
but where the 5360 has 1 disk for microcode, I have 2. I can finish loading
the 1st disk, but I can't get it to load the second - I don't know how.
Anyone know?

Could be, but I'm also asking for CLASIC stuff. ;-)
I'll check, but seeing as how batelco.com.bh (the ONLY Bahrain ISP...
owned by the gov't.) isn't really up to date.... thanks anyway.
Ciao,

Hello. A while back, I was asking about BBS stuff. Does anyone have a BBS
program (prefferably color, etc., possibly HTML-style), with server/client
software that they could give me? (I could pay for software, shipping,
etc.)
Thanks,
