Computers in Parallel

by roblwill＠usaor.net

Earlier today, I was reading an article in a magazine that I get (Science News) that said Supercomputers were made faster by connecting them in parallel (and I think someone here was talking about doing it with a bunch of C64's). That got me thinking. - I have a bunch of old computers, some network cards, and a big table in my basement. Here's the computers that I was thinking of using: HP Vectra RS/25C (386/25), GW2K (486-66), generic P-133, generic Cyrix P200+, and either a PS/2 P70 (386-20) or a Toshiba 200CDS (P100) as the "workstation". My question is: How do I do this? Do I connect them using parallel ports, or by using network cards and a hub? If I would the parallel ports, I could also add an IBM 5170, and two Tandy 1000's into the mix, but I'd need a few parallel cards. Is there any software that I would use, or would I have to write my own program (BASIC?)? ThAnX, -- -Jason Willgruber (roblwill(a)usaor.net) ICQ#: 1730318 <http://members.tripod.com/general_1>

test?

> test. I can't see my posts. why? Possibly the list engine has your mail status as "noack" - not sending your posts to you. Send the list engine (listproc(a)u.washington.edu) a message with "set classiccmp mail ack" in it. Just a thought. Philip.

LSI-11 question

Hey Chuck - A while back I picked up a box with a pretty fair amount of LSI-11 stuff. AIR, it had some front panel cards, some processor cards, some memory cards, etc. etc. I really have no interest in the LSI-11 stuff, so you're welcome to have it. If I get a chance this weekend I'll come up with a list of what all's there LSI11 related... Jay West

Security question (sort of)

I know some IBM machines have an unattended startup mode that locks the keyboard and mouse within the os until the passwoid is typed in. What about hardware locks? seems to be a simple and obvious answer to your problem. supr 'revenge is a delicious dish best served cold' dave
