No such thing :-)... That's what screwdrivers, torx drivers, > hammers, etc are for.. Of course. That's how I got as far as I did - I disassembled the box, located a 34-pad spot on the motherboard where a floppy connector *should* go, then used a VOM to trace the wiring between the internal 34-pin connector and the external 25-pin connector. What stumped me was a lack of /MOTORON (pin 16). All is now well. It boots Linux just fine. Thanks. -ethan === Infinet has been sold. The domain is going away.

RK11 and M9312 questions

by wrking＠tsoft.com

I just received a load of boards that were associated with an 11/34. I'm going to try to upgrade my 11/04, but since I don't have any doc's I have a few questions. If anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated. 1. What are the switch settings for a M9312 bootstrap/terminator card? 2. On the M9312, there is a jumper that has been lifted on the left edge of the card (next to the third chip up from the edge connector). What's this for? 3. My M9312 has three empty sockets. Is this normal? 4. I have a 4 board set for the RK11 controller. Can this plug into a standard unibus, or does it require a special backplane? If I remember correctly, you use a unibus extension cable to daisy chain into the rk05's. 5. Can anyone direct me to the description of the two edge connectors on the top of the 11/34 board set? Thanks, Bill

Damn fools (was Re: Dell "Oldest PC" winner on zdnet)

by Philip.Belben＠pgen.com

> Well, archeology was, and still _is_ about value, and I'm not > talking about anything beside money. Just look at your news. > If theres a stupid pile of roman silver, it's top news and > it gets a lot of attention. The historic value is zero, but > it's silver - on the other side, it needs a earth shaking > discovery (like the Keltic statue two years ago) just to > have a few lines... Non sequitur, I think. I agree that the news coverage bears this out well, but I don't agree that this is the opinion of _any_ serious archaeologist, amateur or professional, of my acquaintance. I think that news coverage is about money. The money mentality that pervades so much of our society means that the newspapers measure the importance of _anything_ they don't actually understand by the amount of money involved. Money is as relevant to archaeologists as it is to the rest of us, but I don't think it is the main driver for most, or even many, of the people who do significant work in this field. Philip. PS I don't recall hearing about this Celtic statue - can you point me to more detail?

"PC Roadkill" book site gone?

by jfoust＠threedee.com

Michael Hyman's "PC Roadkill" book site at <http://www.nwlink.com/~tigger> has disappeared. Anyone know where it went? He had been hosting the executables for Claus Giloi's IMSAI/Altair emulators for Windows. I still have the source on my page at <http://www.threedee.com/jcm/> but now that this other page has disappeared, I think I'll add the executables, too. - John
