HP 9000

by optimus＠canit.se

Last night, at the user group, we tried to fire up an old HP 9000/822 (I trust this falls inside the classic frame?). Unfortunately, the key has been lost somewhere along to road, so we had to hotwire it (is this the correct term?). We have two large sets of manuals, but they only cover HP-UX and various monitors, so we have no idea what all the error codes at the front panel might mean. Also, where do we connect a console? We've got two serial muxes at the back, as well as ethernet, but that's all the I/O we've been able to find. Any pointers to useful beginners' HP?

WEBROW/1.1 (RT-11; PDP11/45)

by healyzh＠aracnet.com

OK, here is the question of the day. I was just doing a search on RT-11 and came up with the following: Browser Statistics for Monday 17/Jul/2000 http://www.ews.uiuc.edu/bstats/days/00-07/000717.html The line of interest reads as follows: 1 WEBROW/1.1 (RT-11; PDP11/45) Anyone know what this is? This could just be someone having their system setup to report as being something else. In searching on just WEBROW I'm guessing this might be a piece of Russian software (most of the hits were Russian web pages). Zane -- | Zane H.

Making an Atari 400/800 Basic cartridge Eprom type?

A couple of years ago someone posted a bit of this macro like >code to alt.folklore.computers with a brief description of how it all >went together. A dejanews hunt might even find it. But that has little to do with my comment since Atari BASIC is not Microsoft BASIC. MS BASIC was available seperately. Atari did thier own interpreter which was written specifically for the 400/800 series machines and incorporated functions specific to the hardware. Commodore on the other hand did not build this same level of functionality into thier variants of BASIC for the C-64 and I was just wondering if anyone knew if the MS BASIC available for the Atari had any of it included. By your comments above, I would assume not. Jeff (replying to this from work)

TRS-80 Model II on eBay

by mcguire＠neurotica.com

Folks, A few days ago, someone mentioned a dutch auction on eBay for four TRS-80 Model II computer systems (#1208570093), but there was some confusion as to whether or not the seller actually had four systems. I've just exchanged email with the seller, and he says that he does indeed have four units for sale. -Dave McGuire
