Really? Wow, I really like them together, so do most people
(Americans, that is) I know. But then, I was raised on it.

What would be the American English translation of "dummies" in this
context?

Take a chance on what? It's not taking a chance at all. I'll ask you the
same type of question? When you lose a tooth do you want to take a chance
of not putting it under your pillow for the tooth fairy. One is as likely
as the other. >>

Actually, I dispute that, not because of a belief in god, but in the fact
that it is arrogant to think that there is no other intelligent life
ANYWHERE in the universe. Sheer mathematical odds almost demand that
there is at least life similar to human kind SOMEWHERE else in the
universe (discounting freaky but possible Quantum reality theories that
would dictate an infinite number of alternate versions of us).

There are lpr drivers available as shareware or commercial
products for Win3.x, Win95 and higher.
Most of the third party add on printer servers come with an lpr
capability for Win9x and there's a shareware one on Simtel for
Windows 3.x with a winsock.
Lan Workplace also had one from Novell.

Just trying to help out someone who needs CP/M for an Intel MDS and I
needed to get some files off a 5 1/4" diskette from my iPDS, and damn!
It was dead.
I will work on it when I have time, but in the mean time, if anyone
might have an old Intel iPDS taking up space and might want to sell
it...please contact me. I'm in the Detroit area.
Thanks.

After the first time I ate a steak rare, I came to understand
what the creators of steak sauces appear to be trying to re-create...
the actual taste of meat.
But I want mine cooked enough that it's hot inside... I cut into
it and detect cold temperature, the steak goes back.

Yeah It can indeed, but you have to start somewhere right? :-) Anyhow Dave, did you finally get settled down there? I see you're finally getting to your emails again!

Actually it's not a troll at all. I am responding legitimately to a post on a list I have been subscribed to for years. If you notice in my post above I asked for no responce myself. I find it interesting that you all can banter back and fourth about God, but as soon as a Christian says something I am labeled a "Troll".. Hmmm.?
Are these interchangeable?
I found one reference that says the BC19s connects a 3100 to a VR290
and that the BC18z connects the Vaxstation to the vr290. Are the
pinouts the same for these VAXen
