Grant sent me some, but they weren't teeny tiny enough. These are 3/32"
across, but the pins are only about 1/16" tall. Anyone have any?
Thanks

Where do you get the idea that it has two consoles? In the file
pdp11_stddev.c, there are definitions for the console input service
(tti) and the console output service (tto). Those services, combined,
are one terminal. I don't see anything about another terminal.
(I'm looking in sources for v3.2c of the emulator)

Of course, it wouldn't take much to create a file, pdp11_tt.c, which
essentially duplicated the code in pdp11_stddev.c, at least with
regards to the terminal input and output service, and allow that
device to be attached to a /dev/ttynn device on your system...
Heck, it's a computer... all you need is the code...

Actually, IIRC, it will recognize the drive as double sided, *but* you will
still be limited to the old MFS format, rather than the newer HFS.

I thought the old format went hand-in-hand with one-sided disks. So I could use 800k floppies in MFS format? If so, then what was the point of the 512ke?

Yes, there was a system file on the MV8000 called XYZZY but entering XYZZY
at a terminal did nothing (as I recall.. it's been a long time)
Of course, XYZZY did wonderful things in the original Adventure game which
used to keep me busy during boring sessions working at the computer

I thought you just had to run something in the I386 directory in NT or
something to make it use dual CPUs. i think the program is irrelevant; i've
never heard of dual cpu winNT programs before.
