Sorry, I deleted the original message before writting down the
model number, But....
http://www.pc-disk.de/pcdisk
shows four different model numbers. The site is in germany, so
it can be kinda slow...

Other disk configurations
I seem to remember that there were dual ported CDC disk drives used by AT&T
with their 3B20's as a reliable but not cheap mechanism to increase
throughput, mirror data, and allow online backups without shutting down the
machines. The Western Electric plant in Kansas City used these
configurations to monitor memory chip production. I don't remember the model
number but I seem to remember that they looked like RP04's. Each machine in
a pair had 2 dedicated disk drives and 1 shared disk drive.
RAID = Redundant Array of *Inexpensive* Disks
REDHUT = Really expensive disks hooked up together
I believe that EMC and Storage Tech are currently both trying to go into the
REDHUT business.

Rich,
I have some Multibus too that I would be interested in swapping.

OK, this is interesting.... It seems the emulators are now at V2.5 and
they've got a web page. Support has been added for the HP2100 and
Interdata 4.

There is a link on the page to some cool pic's.

Yes-- The KALOK Octagon-20. The absolute worst
MFM drive (and perhaps the worst rotating memory of
*any* sort) ever manufactured.

Hi Everyone!
I just picked up a few DECstations (Thanks Carlos!) and was wondering what
your impressions/suggestions for them would be.
I picked up:
2 DECstation 5000/33 (Maxine)
DECstation 5000/125 (3min - I think)
DECstation 2100 (pmin - I think)
The Maxine's and the 2100 are running Ultrix 4.2 and 4.3 respectively. The
2100 is running NetBSD.
I didn't get any monitor with the 2100 and it's got some sort of mono frame
buffer with a cable that terminates in a single bnc connector. Anyone know
what I can hook this into to get some video? I did get monitors with both
maxines, however, one is very dim. I have some other monitors that take the
BNC type connectors but don't know what the frequencies are supposed to be on
the Maxines and don't want to blow any of my old working monitors up trying
them out arbitrarilly. Both Maxines are running expanded frame buffer cards
(forget exactly the name and can't look at them right now). I also wanted to
know if anyone knew where I could find Ultrix CD's and if it's possible to
upgrade the scsi hard drives in these machines to something a little more
spacious than their well-functioning-but-small 80's counterparts.
These are my DECstations and I have to say I am impressed with them so far.
They're DECent little unix boxen! I anxiously wait for any comments, hints,
tips, and stories you may have for me regarding these computers.

The A&J Microdrive is a TS2068 peripheral, but I understand that a similar
drive was developed for the C64.
Anyone know of a source for these tapes?
Thanks

I just got my VS3100-M38 (Yes!) and within the next month I'll have a
Vax cluster (if I get the time). It came with an 8M ram board but I had
previously bid on a 24M set. So I'm almost ready to play with a VAX. Now
if I can only get Linux loaded on my Compaq 4500R (3- PII/133 processors,
128M ram and an EISA system). I wonder if they'll let me send in the
warranty cards (yes it's unused with no drives).
Anyone have any quick hints on boot via the serial port and the pin out
of the serial port (so I can hook it up to my terminal server). Dec LAT
is next and I just saw an announcement for MOP too!

I just found out that classic Cinemaware titles such as "The Three Stooges"
and "Rocket Ranger" have been put up on their web page for download!
http://www.cinemaware.com/vault.asp?vault=games
Apparently supported platforms included:
Amiga, AtariST, C64, NES and PC
Hmmmm..... Looks like I've definitly got to get my Amiga 3000 back up and
running! Something tells me I'll be working on that this weekend!
Apparently after having been gone since '91 they reformed in September of
this year.
Don't know if they include instructions in the downloads, but one would hope
so.
I remember playing "The Three Stooges" in the late 80's on my Kaypro 2000
:^) and always wanted to try "Rocket Ranger".
