I saw it... there was (is?) a web site with pointers to it... but
I don't know if I have a bookmark for it...

I just got word on what happened to the VAX-11/750 and LSI-11/23 that I
posted about last week. A teacher at one of the Portland High Schools took
the whole lot.
I've no idea what use they'll be put to, but hopefully they'll survive and
prosper. Anyway I figure others besides myself might be wondering,
especially with the threat of the scrapper hanging over their heads.

Okay, I'm watching the History Channel's treatment of how the internet came
to be and I have to wonder if any of BBN's IMPs are still around. Those
have to be *bigtime* collector's items.

I found an installed rom based diagnostic and ran through some non-invasive
tests.
One of the rom based tests lets you set up both the portables IP address and
a host machines IP address and then "Ping" Between the two. Also on this
diagnostic ping page they call out by "number" the "boot" device, which with
no link connected, defaults to "NONE". Yet there is another maintenance
screen where you can select the AUI ethernet port as the "Boot Device".
If you set the ethernet port as the boot device, and then comeback to this
screen, I wonder whether you just ping, or initiate a boot?
Obviusly I don't want to kill it until I understand how to establish a
"link" to revive it. I think I have all the tools, I just hope the AIX
CD-ROM can be loaded from a Non-AIX based server host- Perhaps just a PC
with an X windows session, or FTP HOST running.
Plinking away.

Greeting Listers - I have been lurking as a Digest Subscriber.
Recently I had this IBM Risc/6000 7007 PowerPortable N40 fall in my lap.
On It is AIX 3.2.5.. My problem is that I am staring at a Console Login
prompt and know zilch about AIX.
I do not know the root password. So this system is useless until I find
the exploits to circumvent the system entry, or at least learn enough to to
build a user acct..
This portable has a 1.2Gig Drive. 64M in SIMM. No diskette drive but
PCMCIA slot as well as several of the cables and and AUi port in the back to
network the beast
I have the Risc Sytem/6000 N40 notebook workstation users guide and have
started to read through it.
This system came with the AIX 3.2.5 CD - but has no CDROM drive so I believe
I have to network it to something so I can restore the System?
The user guide mentions a Pause+R keysequence to get the box to toggle
between normal and "service" modes, emulation a physical sw on rack mounted
RS6000's
Can ANYONE here point me to an Exploit to circumvent root password? The
user guide tells me how to set it for the first time. The system had been
turned off long enough to forget the time, month and Year etc, -- but it
kept the root password on file.
Is there something I can do from the service mode?
Sincerely Larry Truthan
I've got some single core frames 64x64;
they look almost identical to the one in the top photo at:
http://www.fortunecity.com/marina/reach/435/coremem.htm
except the PC board is tan (bakelite?) instead of translucent fiberglas
like the one in the photo.
$35 while they last.
Also have one 4K memory module (9 frames in mount with PC boards top and
bottom)
make offer.

GNU is a self-referential acronym; it means " GNU's Not Unix".

Hi gang and Happy New Year,
It's great when you can rummage in one of your own piles and find something
new... (Thanks Alzheimer's) Where'd that come from... ;)
Anyway. I found a TI TM990/101MA card that's about 11x6 inches and can be
seen at:
http://personal.lig.bellsouth.net/lig/d/o/dogas/ti01.jpg
I guess this came out of a 990 mini but it looks like everything is there to
use it as a sbc. It's got jumpers for terminal/modem,bank,ram,eprom select
and a few more. Google and dogpile didn't turn up anything and I'm looking
for the pin specs for the connector edges, power requirements and any other
info anyone might have.
Also, while on the subject.... I have an extra TI TM990/U89 that I'd like
to trade for a TI TM990/189 with someone in a complimentary position.
Email me off list if interested.
Cheers

Hi folks, I'm back on the list after 3 years of absence.
I'm getting a DG MV2000 machine. It is apparently working. I would
like to know what additional stuff do I need to get a 100% working
system. The guy selling it is talking about floppy drives and
terminals. Should I get at least one terminal and the drives?
Thanks.
Ben
