I'm in Laurel, MD, right off of the stretch of Route 95 that
connects the DC and Baltimore beltways, just south of the middle.

You made me very happy. Sometimes, when I have trouble moving around in
my own house, I think, I can't be the only crazy guy who lives like this.
Thanks to your pictures, now I'm sure I'm not the only one with a house
like that! :) You even had a pinball machine too. I hope it survived
the move.
Kees.

Jeeze, I'm jealous. Here on the east coast things are much more

You know, call me crazy, but I think I'm interested as well. Yeah.
I, too, miss the dialup BBS days, and it'd be neat to do something
even remotely like that again.
I ran the Mercerville RCP/M system for about three years up near
Trenton, NJ, when I was in high school...I shut it down in 1987 in
favor of putting my pdp11/34a (running RSTS/E) on a dialup line for my
friends to hack on.
My favorite part of the whole old BBS scene were "storyboards".
Anyone remember those? Of course, the concept could be approximated
with netnews, but it's just not the same. Having a specific interface
designed for that sort of writing...chapter navigation, stuff like
that...is really, really nice.
I tried to bring up another BBS many years ago (1990 or so) on an
AT&T 7300 (UnixPC, 10MHz 68010, 512K, SysVr2). I ran a program called
"unaxcess" which I really liked. Has anyone here ever seen it?

Briefly, DEC and a lot of determination. I was in engineering for over
ten years before that. DEC was a very good place to work. As was
NEC (when they were in Wellesly and Natick). Some other places
I have less fond thoughts of.
The determination part is not new to anyone here, you find something
interesting and you do it. That do it part is despite naysayers or
other attempts to discourage.

Hi, as is customary for many a mailing list, I should
introduce myself first.
My name is David Rowntree, I am a systems engineer,
working for Philips Semiconductors, based in
Southampton, UK. My interests centre mainly on UNIX
systems, but I like anything computational and old.
I recently found my Research Machines 380Z in a pile
of junk, and got interested in it again. For those
who don't know, its a Z80 based CP/M machine sold in
the UK, mainly to schools and other educational
establishments. Mine came from Imperial College,
London, where I studied for my Meng in Electronic
engineering.
The box in question is a RML-380Z-D model, with dual 5
1/4" drives, and I think, 32K RAM. It has two video
boards (I believe this is the hires option) and an
additional ram board(cpu board with most bits removed)
an analog i/o card, and seems to have firmware
'COS4.2A'
The date of the box is '83, and is complete with its
keyboard, and even the dust cover!
Unfortunantly - NO SOFTWARE AT ALL. Not even cp/m :(
I know next to nothing about this box, so my query:
Does anybody have the system disks? How about
documentation of the firmware?
I've found various bits of cp/m source, but nothing
specific to the 380z. I believe it ran cpm2.
One other point - I believe you hit 'b' to bootstrap
the floppy - when I do this there is NO disk activity
(even with a floppy in the drive) I've tried both
drives, and both cable positions. The drive psu gives
stable volts, so that's not the problem. I'm sure it
should do something! There is an LED on the floppy
controller, it flashes with a kind of 'heart beat'
pattern i.e. Flash-flash--pause--flash-flash--pause
etc. Anybody know if this is normal?
You guys are possibly my last hope - I've spent a
total of over 20 hours scouring the web for info, and
have come up with very little. I'd like to get as
much on this box as possible, for preservation reasons
- and so I can build a website about it.
Many thanks in advance for anybody who can help me
out!
Dave.

Dear Mr. 9000,
HAL, you seem to be using the wrong AlGorerhythmn. You say that
'Resistance is useless', when it should be 'Resistance Is Futile'.
As in:
"We are Microsoft. Resistance Is Futile. You Will Be Assimilated."
Unless of course there is some sort of mental aberration, as in:
"I am Dyslexia of Borg, fusistance is retile. Your ass will be laminated."
I would ask that you incorporate the following lines of program code
so that things are done right in 2004.
Can we count them with our nose?
Can we count them with our toes?
Should we count them with a band?
Should we count them all by hand?
If I do not like the count,
I will simply throw them out!
I will not let this vote count stand
I do not like them, AL GORE I am!
Can we change these numbers here?
Can we change them, calm my fears?
What do you mean, Dubya has won?
This is not fair, this is not fun
Let's count them upside down this time
Let's count until the state is mine!
I will not let this VOTE count stand!
I do not like it, AL GORE I am!
I'm really ticked, I'm in a snit!
You have not heard the last of it!
I'll count the ballots one by one
And hold each one up to the sun!
I'll count, recount, and count some more!
You'll grow to hate this little chore
But I will not, cannot let this vote count stand!
I do not like it, AL GORE I am!
I won't leave office, I'm stayin' here!
I've glued my desk chair to my rear!
Tipper, Hillary, and Bubba too,
All telling me that I should sue!
We find the Electoral College vile!
RECOUNT the votes until I smile!
We do not want this vote to stand!
We do not like it, AL GORE I am!
How shall we count this ballot box?
Let's count it standing in our socks!
Shall we count this one in a tree?
And who shall count it, you or me?
We cannot, cannot count enough!
We must not stop, we must be tough!
I do not want this vote to stand!
I do not like it, AL GORE I am!
What's that? What? What are you trying to say?
You think the current count should stay?
You do not like my counting scheme?
It makes you tense, gives you bad dreams?
Foolish people, you're wrong you'll see!
Your only care should be for me!
I Will not let this vote count stand!
I do not like it, and AL GORE I am!
Sincerely,
G@K

Extremely secure if IP is done right. DECnet is good in itself. Doing
it
as wrapped decnet would be hard for outsiders to crack unless they knew
it was DECNET inside. It's basically VPN. FYI, back in the old days
(early 90s) DECNET was used to wrap appletalk and Novell so it could
be run over wans (DECNET is routable).

Hi,
I recently received an HP 9815A ... working, except that the
display is dead. (I.e., I can enter numbers, do calculations,
and print the results on the integral printer.)
Does anyone have experience with this machine?
The display (about 5 or 6" wide, 1" tall) is a Burroughs
Panaplex II, with the following markings:
Kr 85
BR 16252
An odd little pointed glass cone juts out of the back of the panel,
in the center.
thanks,
Stan
