I'm averaging, for 8.5 x 11 pages, about 5.3 Mb Actually, 300 is the max without interpolation. Stuff that's truly B&W should be scanned in B&W mode. The problem is that grayscale picks up variations in print strength, smudges, etc. B&W says "This dot is more than x dark, it's black.

All of the fine details were The details will get smudged if you scan in grayscale.

Why the hell would you want to tear it back down to its puny original configuration? This Mac is a testament to the expandability of a machine that no one thought expandable. LEAVE IT BE!

Hmm, >> I collect home micros, and I recently acquired a Mac 128K. However, it's >> been quite heavily modified with contemporary third-party add-ons. It's >> been taken up to 1M RAM and it's had a SCSI interface installed. > Well from a preservation point of view, this makes a very interesting machine as it stands - probably fairly unique. Maybe the thing to do would be to collect together a bunch of 64Kx1 chips and keep them safe somewhere so that the machine could easily be restored to original condition (or as close as possible) at some point in the future, if that were necessary. Surely there's still quite a few Mac 128K's around, so they're not an endangered species yet... Just my 2p's worth (or $0.02, depending on which you prefer...) cheers Jules >

Removed SYSLOA65W from all kits because a decision $ ! was made not to support it. $ ! $ ! X-34 KAB0005 Karen Barth 17-Nov-1987 $ ! Add LMF$GROUP_TABLE.EXE to all kits. This is $ ! necessary for the kits to boot on systems with LMF. $ ! We intend to replace this with just a stub eventually $ ! because licensing is not needed to run Standalone $ ! Backup and this file is expected to grow quite large. $ ! Add CPULOA.EXE to all kits. This is also necessary for $ ! booting because of licensing. $ ! Add PADRIVER to the tape kit because Calypso needs it. $ ! Adjusted error path and message to reflect the proper $ ! value for POOL_REQ. This was stopping the tape kit $ ! from building with PADRIVER added. $ ! Add SYSLOA9CC to create_index.

X-1 CWH0001 CW Hobbs 30-Oct-1985 $ ! For console kits, make a four volume kit. Add preliminary $ ! Nautilus support to the RX50 kit. Do not ask about a $ ! bad block scan on 750 console TU58s. Give the option $ ! of data checking -- done by hand because the 750 console TU58 $ ! does not reliably handle data checking in the driver, and the $ ! RX0x do not support it at all.

Looking for VMS 5.2 "Mandatory Update" Install Save Set

by mcquiggi＠sfu.ca

Hi All: The title says it all. I've installed VMS 5.2 from 4 RL02s and now the installation procedure wants me to load the "mandatory update" volume. Anyone have one kicking around? I'm not stuck on RL02 format, a TK50/70, 9 track, or even an emailed copy would be fine! Kevin --- Kevin McQuiggin VE7ZD mcquiggi(a)sfu.ca

Installing VMS from RL02s

by mcquiggi＠sfu.ca

Hi All: I have acquired 4 RL02 packs with the VMS 5.2 distribution on them. The first one boots into standalone backup (>>> B DLA0) but I need to know how to start the installation procedure. I have some very basic docs on standalone backup, but a simple BACKUP DLA0: DUA0: fails with a couple of "device not mounted" errors. There's apparently a save set called VMS052.B on the first drive this filename is reported in the two "device not mounted" errors. BACKUP DLA0:VMS052.B DUA0: also fails as the /IMAGE qualifier is being assumed by the standalone backup utility, and of course /IMAGE requires only a device name. Any help appreciated!

[Glances up at X-Listprocessor-Version: header..."8.1 beta". Hmmm] Not exactly. Before version 8.1, if you only specified "subscribe classiccmp" you would get an error message, and if you said "subscribe classiccmp joe(a)foo.com" it would subscribe you at the address you sent the request from, and assume your real name was joe(a)foo.com. Depending on how the list is set up, "subscribe classiccmp" will work on version 8.1 and later, however, I'm pretty sure there still is no way to subscribe using an address different from the one you are sending the request from. >In any case, from the ClassicCmp FAQ (temporarily housed at >http://www.yowza.com/classiccmp/faq.txt): [Snip] >SUBSCRIBE CLASSICCMP Your.Address > > Subscribes you to the list. > >UNSUBSCRIBE CLASSICCMP Your.Address > > Removes you from the list.
