No, they don't. The Nagant (7.62x 64) has a groove diameter of .310" and
uses a .311"-.312" size bullet.
whoa, didn't know about the Nagant, better check the book next time.
Friend has an old WW I surplus one, I think he's reloading the wrong
size. It uses the .303 Brit instead?

Long treks? I thought it was only a few hundred miles. Around here
(Mojave desert) that won't even get you to the next town. Heck, in the
right direction that won't even get you out of the county.
There are plenty of surplus PDP-8s and PDP-11's only a hundred miles

once.
As a bit of trivia, PDPs (8s/10s/11s) were the preferred machine at the
nuclear test site in Nevada. They were used for (expendable)
instrumentation very close to ground zero. Quite a few were converted
into plasma.

DEC ported ULTRIX which is close to BSD unix to both PDP11 and VAX.
DR? I don't think so.
which is which?:
Venix
Zenix
Xenix
What and who for those.

There are numerous .30 caliber rifles and pistols. I was referring to
the diameter. There is the .30-06 (WW I/II vintage), the .308 (late
50's, early Vietnam vintage, NATO), the 7.62x39 (Russian, Korea to
present), the .30-30 (the famous lever action Winchester of the late
1800s), the .300 Savage (first rifle to exceed 2000 fps, also late
1800s), the .30 M1 carbine (WW II vintage), the .300 Winchester Magnum,
the 7.62 Nagant, etc. All use the same basic diameter .308 bullet.
Anyone ever hear of a Zenith All-in-One ? I can probably get one (damaged)
for shipping costs, but I am wondering if it would be even worth that (a
couple thousand miles).
Thanks,

I have what looks like the first MS version, since it has no version
number. Won't run on anything, I think the disk is bad.

Does the DEC RA82 drive need to see an active SDI controller in order to
spin up without a FAULT light? I know that RL02's needed power on the
controller before their FAULT indicators would clear.
I ask because I've spun up my RA81. It sounds OK -- positions the heads,
etc. -- but it displays FAULT and diagnostic LEDs 3 & 4 (I think -- it
might be 2 & 3) once it reaches operating speed. That, of course, is with
the I/O cables flying in the breeze.
Inquiring minds, especially those who are going to make a MicroVAXen
available in the near future, wish to know! ;-)
