Hmm, lucky day I guess... I got a 11/780 and a 11/785 field maintenance print set (2 different printsets) from the EE department. I'm rather surprised that I didnt notice these several years ago. Also, I saw what I swear must be a quad height pdp8 board. He wasnt sure what it was, so he wouldnt let me have it yet. He thought it might be a PDP11 board (did they make quad height PDP11 systems?). Heres what the board says: Excelan Exos 204 s/n 001993 It has a 16 pin male ribbon cable connector on the top of the board, and strange 2-part female connector in the middle of the board, sort of like a 10 pin and a 36 pin ribbon female connectors joined together so that there is a slight gap between them. some intel chips on the board are dated 1982, the board itself is dated 1984. Anyone know what this board is? -Lawrence LeMay

RT-11 ARGH!

by healyzh＠aracnet.com

Is a RT-11 Media Kit on TK-50, that was built under V5.4 using some command which currently escapes me, bootable? I just realized that apparently V5.3 doesn't support TK50's. BLEEP!!!! I'd just try it, but don't want to have to type in the bootstrap if it isn't. Rather spend the time trying to figure out the best sequence of hoops to jump through if it isn't! BEEEEEEEEEEEEP! Just when I was starting to make some serious progress at getting my /73 put back together. BLEEP! On that note, I think I'd best get some sleep. Zane | Zane H.

Floppy drive info needed

by Glenatacme＠aol.com

And these jumpers have labels like D0, D1, D2, > D3, IU, HL, etc. Thanks -- I have since found another of the teac drives and the jumpers are plainly marked. The first one (which I posted the inquiry about) had no clear screening on the pcb. Glen 0/0

Paper Tape Loading of Software?

by jhfine＠idirect.com

This question is most likely to be answered by Megan Gentry since I don't know of anyone else who might have the background. In the very distant past, I used to prepare paper tape programs in so-called LDA format from an RT-11 based system. Since I don't and likely won't have access to a system with a paper tape reader (let alone a paper tape punch), does anyone remember if the program that does get loaded can also be prepared as an SAV file by setting the appropriate directives to the MACRO assembler and then the LINK program?

Laptop hard drive problems

by SUPRDAVE＠aol.com

Whilst scrounging around in my stash, i found an old, old mitsubishi mp286L laptop, 286 model in like new condition. it boots up with a cmos error, but will boot dos from a floppy. needless to say the hard drive wont mount. i downloaded a generic bios setup problem and ran that, setting the hard drive type to 11 which is what the sticker said underneath the laptop. alas, fdisk cannot find it. tried a few debug LLF commands, but no go. any ideas at this point? i am unable to find any mitsubishi computer info anywhere. d

It is an Excelan network board. I'm not sure off the top of my head whether it's Q-bus or Unibus, but will do some research. It has drivers under BSD, I believe. The 16 pin connector goes to, I believe, an AUI network connector. -- Tim Shoppa Email: shoppa(a)trailing-edge.com Trailing Edge Technology WWW: http://www.trailing-edge.com/ 7328 Bradley Blvd Voice: 301-767-5917 Bethesda, MD, USA 20817 Fax: 301-767-5927

ASR-33 Fonts re-visited...

by arfonrg＠texas.net

I know this is an old subject but, I swear, the last time it was brought up, I downloaded the fonts. But, I can't find them now!! Q: Where can I download the old ASR-33 TTY TTF font??? Q2: (NOT CLASSIC related) When I open up my terminal program in Winblows, it won't give me my full font selection. Any clues on how to get the ASR-33 fonts to work on the terminal program? Thanks, (Sorry about the Winblows question.) A ---------------------------------------- Tired of Micro$oft???

Old Mechanical Terminal....(Data Access)

by arfonrg＠texas.net

Hey guys, I just picked up a DATA ACCESS 1620 terminal. It looks like a HUGE IBM Executive typewriter but, I know it's not. Anyone have any information on this machine? Like how do I configure a serial port to talk to it? Here's some pictures: http://mh106.infi.net/~arfonrg/collection/ ---------------------------------------- Tired of Micro$oft???
