SYSTEM = ROOT
FIELD is often there, nearly the same privs as system
the rest are users. There are others most are not that important for
general use.

A few weeks usually, sometimes it can be 6weeks.

Yes if you have a third part SCSI controller. I have a CMD200
with a RZ56 and a Seagate Baracuda in my MVII along with
an RQDX3/RD54 MFM.

PCs no guts. Glory is making them useful. ;)

Yes very true. I'd bet that was a broadcast to every group.

Hi,
Does any one of you know of a source for the ribbon for the HX-20? The
rollers on mine got pulverised. Any good way to rebuild them? what kind of
material could I use?
Thanks
Francois
See you at the VCF!!!
Hi folks,
Does anyone have an archive of Xerox Alto/Star software? I'm curious
about OS, applications, research work, whatever. I don't own an Alto,
but I'm concerned about losing the software anyway. I'd really love to
see a Xerox Alto emulator project started, and obviously some working
original software archives are kind of vital for that endeavor.
While we're at it, does anyone have system schematics or system
architecture documentation? Those seem somewhat relevant as well :)

A couple of weeks ago I found a box in a scrap yard with a half height 8"
floppy drive it in. The box was marked "Gen-Rad" and looked like part of a
old piece of test equipment. I picked up the box just for the floppy drive
and brought it home. Today I started to take it apart and found that it was
made by Scientific Micro Systems and has a number of DEC cards in it as
well as a Maxtor XT-1085 hard drive. My question is what is it and weather
it's worth keeping or is it just good for parts?
Here's the details; It's marked "Gen Rad 2295 Central Station" on the
front. The back is marked "Scientific Micro Systems" "model MDX01170".
It's about 9" w x 11" h x 17" deep. On the back it has eight DB-25m ports
on the back. They're marked "TZ0" through "TZ3", "LP0" and "TT0" through
"TT2". Inside it has a DEC M7957 quad board, a half size board made by
Sigma Information Systems Inc (connected to the TT* and LP0 ports), a half
size "Q RAM 11" board made by Clear Point (memory?), a DEC M 8186 half size
card, and a half size SMS card (1002001-0001/0004220-0001) that is also
connected via a jumper to the last card, a full quad size SMS card
(1001939-0001/0003770-0001). The last card has ribbon cables that connect
to the floppy and hard drive.
Does anyone know what it is? Is it worth anything? FWIW I haven't tried
to connect a terminal to it yet but it appears to power up and boot.

There were a limited number built and tested with FEs but they were not
retained in service. The primary problem was they didn't have what would
come around 10 years later, cheap, small hard disk.

Hello list,
I might be getting some of the Davos' PDP8 stuff that Megan
mentioned on the list .
The 19 " racks will have to be transported flat, i.e. on their side.
Any tips on how to handle the RK05, RL01 and RL02 ?
Is there some sort of locking mechanism on the R/W heads ?
I sure would hate ruining a I/O devices that I will not easilly find again...

Does anyone have a vt220 or better (a color 240 would be great) terminal
they want to sell? I need a console for my vaxstation. Alternately, since
they seem to still be available, does anyone have anything good or bad to say
about vt540s? I live in Colorado Springs, CO (USA) and I understand shipping
will be significant.
