I recently inherited a Compaq C140 (Cassiopeia A11) and even though it's
not 10 years old, it's more obsolete than many 10 year old systems :-)
I'm looking for the WinCE 2 upgrade, I even have a part number (ZE20UK or

Anyway, so I downloaded dungeon (what zork was called before it

Wouldn't it be much easier just to modify the ADV11-A? Since the print set
shows it does use BBS7, and BC1 is simply grounded, it's apparently just a
case of cutting one track to make it work in a Q22 system.

Yes they are nice pics. pdp8s sure are good looking machines.
especially when they're running! :-)

OK, this is a little wierd. Let me start by saying I have no clue as to
who the person is selling the system, I just think the pictures are the

I thought the first two were especially nice. Really make my -8/m shots
look horrible.

If you have a BA23, make sure that the pushbuttons on the front panel
are set correctly (one is for drive enable, one is for drive write
protect).

Depending on which RQDX interface you have, you may or may not be able
to put any ST506 disk on it that you want... early controllers were
pre-programmed with the characteristics of the disks they would work
with... anything else couldn't be used. I don't know if the RQDX3
allows more lattitude, but using RD52, RD53 or RD54 is the way to go,
if you can find them...

Precious little... If you want to run Unix, you could try to get
Ultrix-11, but that was retired by DEC long before it was acquired
by Compaq. All the pdp-11 operating systems from DEC are licensed.
You could run *real* BSD Unix, but for an 11/23[+], you'll need
2.9BSD. A license will cost $100 (check with the PUPS web page).

>DAMN.
Ouch... there was a problem with earlier controller boards when
powering off the system box before the disk... the write signals
would go active and the disk would have garbage randomly written
on it...
>How can I get boots to restore a system?
Again... the DEC PDP-11 operating systems are licensed software, they
can't simply be handed out...
Yes, I suspect it ran up to six terminals as there are two controlled from
the cpu card and four controlled by a terminal controller card.

Remember that the max physical memory on Qbus is 4mb...
>Does RT11 have:

>Virtual Memory?
Depends on which monitor you are running... the SJ(SB) and FB
monitors only use 28kw (56kb)... that is all there is for the
OS and user programs. Any additional memory *can* be used as
a fast disk volume. Programs should not touch the memory
mapping registers, though they can (RT allows one to shoot
one's self in the foot)
The XM monitor takes over the memory management of the machine
and provides system services to allow programs access to all
the rest of memory -- but programs have to be written specially
to make use of it, otherwise they exist in a 32kw virtual
address space.
>Networking?
Not integral... there was DECnet/RT, but that was only Phase III,
and no Ethernet. It was because of this that I wrote a piece of
networking software for RT machines specifically (check my web
page). There is a package from DECUS which provides a TCP/IP
stack... You can find it through www.trailing-edge.com (or is
it metalab.unc.edu that has it). Anyway, I think it is decus
package 110939 (but I might be wrong).

Try HELP... it will give you the commands available.
Unlike MS/DOS and Windows, which don't come with any program development
tools, RT is an execution environment *and* a development environment...
the tools you need to write your own programs come with the distribution
-- an assembler (MACRO), a linker (LINK), a module librarian (LIBR) and
several debuggers (ODT, VDT, DBG).

<This evening I accidentally aquired a PDP-11/23 (model # 11E23-FE). It
<has RD-52A hard disk and dual floppies like the ones on a Rainbow.
sounds like a BA23 with a PDP-11/23 in it. There are many varients of the
11/23 cpu and you need a handle number and boot page info.
<What can I do with it? It does boot and is running RT11 with 512k of ram.
First off it's a computer, you can do whatever computers do.
More ram? By PDP-11 standard 512k is quite enough to be very useful and
even a large system. More memory is in the form of boards assuming the is
space in the backplane for it.
<It appears to have a fault. It often runs for just a few minutes then
<drops to a @ prompt and starts spitting out strings of ? marks endlessly.
<Is this a failure anyone is familiar with? How can I tack more ram on it?
May be a problem with the terminal not the PDP-11. Some terminal emulators
if hit with the wrong stuff will spew crap. The PDP-11 you have likely
has halt on BREAK enabled.
<The machine is is fairly good condition and appears complete. --
While you supplied only a cursory description, it sounds like a nice
machine.
