Hi Group: I am in need of an M7891-DB or similar memory board for my pdp-11/34A. The specs on this memory are: 128 Kword, 18 bit, parity RAM. Size is not important in this case, I'll take a compatible board with less RAM on it. Please reply to the news group. list, or to me directly. I have stuff to trade or will purchase if necessary! Thanks, Kevin -- Kevin McQuiggin VE7ZD mcquiggi(a)sfu.ca

2 months, no DECUS membershp yet

by ncherry＠home.net

Yep, it's been 2 months and I still am not able to get my basic membership yet. Today I tried rejoining (3rd time) and now I get internal server errors. At this rate I'll never be able to get the OpenVMS CD kit. BTW, if I have 2 VAX do I need to order 2 kits? -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry ncherry(a)home.net http://members.home.net/ncherry (Text only) http://meltingpot.fortunecity.com/lightsey/52 (Graphics) http://linuxha.sourceforge.net/ (SourceForge)

In my haste to complete the list I saw 'WDC' and jump to the conclusion about being a disk controller. I did not pause to look up the IC in the IC Master or any data books. Duh! Although I removed the card cage and boards from the box, I did go check and sure enough, the only ten pin connector goes to a DB25 coming out the back. Again, thanks, and sorry 'bout that. Mike

CP/M 1.3 memory requirement

by ajp166＠bellatlantic.net

From: Jeff Hellige <jhellige(a)earthlink.net> > Certainly even the earliest of CP/M releases offered more >than the North Star DOS that would've shipped with thier disk >systems? This system included DOS ver. 2 and BASIC ver. 6, Release 3 >and is also copyright 1977. Actually no. NSdos was a simpler file system but actually robust and very fast. It lacked editor/assember/debugger but did have a good set of diags for ram, monitor and NS* BASIC. Which for it's time was pretty good. Also it could boot in as little as 4k of ram and run basic in 24k. Allison

ZCPR & Other CP/M Extensions (Was: RE: CP/M 1.3 memory requirement)

by rigdonj＠intellistar.net

Hi, Yes, I'm interested in the disks! A friend of mine wants to try and install it on a H-89. I'll look through my ZCPR stuff and see if I can find out what the differences are in verson 2.2 and 3.0 and report later.

ultrix disktab entry for an RF73?

by thompson＠mail.athenet.net

Greetings I have an elderly version of ultrix (4.2A) which knows nothing of disks of mind boggling capacity such as the two gigabyte RF73. Does anyone have a later version of Ultrix with the dimensions of this disk specified in the /etc/disktab file? (p.s. has anyone else noticed that Altavista seems to be lamed deliberately or otherwise so that Linux or Netscape clients can no longer search properly? I have noticed this for a couple of weeks...I go into work and use Internet Extorter on NT and everything is fine.) Thanks in advance Paul

Cadnetix

by jjackson＠salsa-digital.com

OK. I've been quiet long enough, I think. <grin> Now it is time to ask a question. I have an old Cadnetix 50000S workstation. It still works - sortuv. I would like to find a replacement board for the ailing one (graphics), or locate technical manuals on this beastie. What is a Cadnetix 50000S? It is a CAD workstation that performs Schematic Capture, PCB Layouts, runs Berkeley unix (I think it's Berkeley), uses a 68020 processor, and can still run rings around many Windows CAD software packages... ok, just barely. <grin> What I'd _really_ like is to find one of the Sun-2 Cadnetix platforms. (I think it was a Sun-2 - it's been a while folks.) Now, these puppies - they could really scream! Anyway, I saw a bit on the 50000S platforms a while back - was just wondering if anyone might still have one and want to swap something or other. I know where there is a Cadnetix burial ground - it's just that I'd have to pay homage to the groundskeeper. Regards, James Jackson

Ok, if I have time (I've tenatively got a rescue planned for this weekend), I'll try to dig them out this weekend. Regards, -dq

Google

by rigdonj＠intellistar.net

I don't know but enjoy it while you can! I gave up on Yahoo, Hotbot and the others because they took too blasted long to load (and still didn't find as much).
