An HP 3000/925LX is a PA-RISC system (probably 1.0 architecture),
with a clock of about 10 MHz. It's a CIO-based I/O architecture,
so the PuffinGroup Linux port will *not* run on it, nor will MPE/iX 6.5 (the
last release that will run on it is MPE/iX 6.0). It's one of the three or
four slowest PA-RISC systems ever built.

I recently bought three padless type 4 Sun mice, with the aim of hacking one
to work on my Amiga, and also as a PC bus mouse.
Does type 4 mean the type that came with Sun4 workstations? How do Sun3 and
Sun4 mouse pads differ? Are replacements still available? Are Mouse Systems
still alive?

Actually the documentation is good but also there is tons of it worse than
the
vax grey wall if you try to get it all in one place. Its also a hell of a
task to find
things you need among all of that.

I wonder... Linux is getting bigger by the day and the desktops for it do
add
weight.

I'd be interested. I know pitch, roll and yaw. Though the slew rate for
C150 ailerons is a slow 6 degrees/sec. ;)

I must have at least three or four of them in use. We connect them to
Keithley 706A scanners and Keithley 2000DMMs to measure production
units under test. Others are used for lab use and various test setups.
Nothing exciting or gui, just down in the trenches test and data logging.
Text mode output and write logging to floppy. It's not a process that can be
done fast so theres no rush.
We don't however use labview. the usual rig is a dosbox (ISA 286/386/486)
running homegrown QuickBasic4.5 code and the supplied dos/qb45 driver. They
are pretty easy to talk to. I've used the dos drivers under w95 for testing
and it's a workable arrangement. One thing I'm trying under W95 is the
Pascal drivers with Delphi as the GUI, this has potential as the database is
handy for post logging analysis.

I have a VAX GPX cable (db-15 to three BNCs, Mouse, and Keyboard) that I
would like to trade for a VAX SCSI cable that works on the VS3100/M76. (68
pin to 50 pin). If you've got one and would like to trade please contact me
off list, thanks.

I dunno, man...so they're not being *made* anymore...there's still a
huge market for them; I use my MP2000 every day. A bunch of people

My LC II is my main Macintosh even though I have a better Mac IIci because
the LC II has the Apple IIe Card.
I use a Apple 12" Monochrome Display (M1050), but my AppleColor
High-Resolution RGB Monitor (M1297) works on it as well. Screen resolution
is 640x480x256 (I think).
There is 4MB on the board and two SIMM slots which can hold up to 4MB in
each slot. That equals 12MB but the computer will only address 10MB (some
weird Apple memory scheme I believe is related to 24-bit addressing).
I have several cards for the single PDS slot: the Apple IIe Card, Ethernet
network cards, and a video card for a large (17-19 inch I think) monochrome
monitor.
I think the last version of MacOS it can run is 7.5.5 because the ROMs are
not 32-bit clean. I use MacOS 7.1 with Update 3.0.
You can get an older version of ClarisWorks very cheap. You may wish to
purchase an external SCSI CD-ROM drive. I can give you the web addresses
of several vendors who sell used older Macintosh stuff.
