Greetings,
Would those of you with access to a SysV R4.0 system (eg. SysV/386 R4.0)
please inspect /etc/conf/cf.d/mdevice for the entry beginning with 'klm'
and report the results to me? If you find it could you also grab the
'space.c' files in /etc/conf/pack.d/klm and /etc/conf/pack.d/nfs
directories (very small files). We're trying to fix nfs on an old box
and would really appreciate your help.
Thanks,

A quick statement and a question:
(1) I seem to recall that the keyboard used on the original Kaypro
luggable computer was labeled as the "IBM Selectric" keyboard.
I had been a user of the IBM Selectric typewriter at the time of
using my first Kaypro computer, and recall the look and feel to be
identical (or at least similar enough) in the key shapes and
layout. When you folks mention the VT100 keyboard, you are talking
about a different animal, right? (Also a nice keyboard....)
(2) Would someone please repost the URL for the Simon relay
computer. Thanks.
Cheers. Kevin Anderson

Guys:
Anybody know what this is? I'm almost certain it is a
Q-BUS SCSI adaptor, but is it for disk, tape, or ???
Is is MSCP? Does it emulate RK-0x's, or what?
Thanks!
Jeff

Received my MPE tapes on Friday and installed the OS and patches over the
weekend. Everything worked out just fine. It's really nice having *ALL* the
subsystems again :-)

While I'm thinking about it, I thought I'd do a quick troll for stuff I've
been looking for. I'd rather trade around for stuff, but I'd be willing to
pay real money (gasp) for some stuff:
A keyboard for my HP2649 terminal
HP2392, HP2622, or HP2645 terminal. I need one for my 3000 (using a laptop
with an HP term program right now). The 2649 I have is dubious; I get a
screen full of what looks like garbage to me, but then again, I don't have
a keyboard and, in addition, the 2649 is interesting in that it could have
a custom program on it for something other than being a straight terminal.
An HD for my HP3000 that will fit in the bottom rack space. I've gotten
some great info from Joe Rigdon on models and have my eyes open; I need
something big enough so that I can do the initial install of MPE V 3P with
full subsys (it's been estimated that I need at least 100mb or so).
Qbus ethernet card (for my 11/23 compat)
Qbus scsi controller card
Qbus MFM controller card
A scsi interface for the Atari ST (like an ICD/etc).
A Hayes Smartmodem 2400 w/ps.
What I currently have to trade:
Sparcprinter w/LP sbus interface card/required cables
Sparc 1 w/24megs ram (If you want both, I'll give you the lpviio.h header
file for Ghostscript and you could use linux to make a printer server -
i.e., cheap networked laser printer for Mac/Windows/Unix machines)
SunOS 4.1 System Manual, volumes I - III
SunOS 4.0 Network Administrator's Guide
SunView Programmers Guide
I'm sure there's a couple others (all 3-ring binders)
Cables, cables, cables. DB25 and DB9 serial, AT keyboard extenders,
other misc, lots of them.
Cat5 patch bay, 24 ports.
(warning: not yet classic in the list sense)
486 laptops in various states. A bunch of working Epson Action Note 650's,
a working Epson Action Note 895c (color, Cyrix DX4-100).
Pentium laptops, mostly pieces. Retired for cracked screens/non
operational. Some of the Dell P-75 bases work fine (cracked screens).
I'd gladly entertain interesting trades for any of this stuff, with one
caveat: I am the world's worst shipper. It takes me a long time to do it,
and I hate it with a passion. As a general rule, I really won't ship
anything that weighs more than 20 pounds total. Also, I mostly got this
stuff for free/trades, so I don't really want to "sell" any of it...
I'll be at TRW this month, so I'd be happy to bring anything down there
with me...just let me know if you want any of it!
Cheers,
Aaron

I would like to find a home for a Tektronix 7603 / R7603 Oscilloscope

will be $3.20 for USPS Priority Mail. I will send to first person to
contact.
Thanks.

As a very first pass, on most terminals you can crank an internal pot
to increase the maximum brightness. You will almost certainly find that
there's some interaction with the focus.
In *my* opinion, using my current price/performance/effort/time tradeoff
matrix, if tweaking the pot doesn't yield a satisfactory display, the
right thing to do is get a new CRT for the terminal. Open up an
issue of _Processor_ and you'll find dozens of places that sell
replacement CRT's for terminals of just about every make.
Why go the new CRT route? Yes, it's expensive, but if you're going to
be using the terminal into the future (and it'll be just as usable fifteen
years from now as it was when it was new) it's the right thing to do.

Hello, boys and girls.
I got four responses right off the bat, so I'm going to sort out who
wants what and then I'll post what's left in a couple of days.
Thanks to those who responded so far. I'm glad they're going to go
to classiccmp people....I've gotten a few orphans that way, so I'm
glad to be able to give something back.
