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, Michael Grigoni Cybertheque Museum

Keyboards / Simon relay computer?

by kla＠helios.augustana.edu

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 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Kevin L.

T.D. Systems TDL-12

by jeff.kaneko＠juno.com

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!

MPE Update was "Stuff to trade"

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 :-) Steve Robertson <steverob(a)hotoffice.com>

Stuff to trade/stuff I'm looking for

by af-list＠wfi-inc.com

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

Rejuvenating VT320 monitors?

by CLASSICCMP＠trailing-edge.com

>I got a couple of "free" VT320 terminals with a system I picked up and they >both work but they are both pretty dim. (one is reasonably bright after a >30 - 40 minute warm up). Now in the video game market there are kits to >rejuvenate a tube but I don't know what the equivalent would be for a >VT320. Tony? Anyone? Is there anything I can do? 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. -- Tim Shoppa Email: shoppa(a)trailing-edge.com Trailing Edge Technology WWW: http://www.trailing-edge.com/ 7328 Bradley Blvd Voice: 301-767-5917 Bethesda, MD, USA 20817 Fax: 301-767-5927

IIgs stuff update

by nerdware＠laidbak.com

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.
