I'll agree a lot to obtain one copy of this driver because
I have another Hardcard of 105 Mb in my IBM XT-286
and it appears to have some working problems with
its actual driver.

If the speed of an electron in a wire is equal to the speed of light (IIRC,
it's slower than light), then an electron will travel about 11.80 inches in
one nanosecond, which is the point Hooper was trying to illustrate.

Wait a doggone minute, I know that's not right, I distinctly

Hi!
Is there any way to connect an apple IIC Plus to a "modern"
monitor?
It has a 15 pin connector that has a strange pin out - and a
composit video out on an RCA plug.
I currently use an apple monochrome (tilt-y tube) monitor
to see 80 col text and a Panasonic monitor to see the color
modes. I have to lug to switch them.
I didn't see the original.
Philip Freidin (www.fliptronics.com) is a friend of mine who is doing a
3.2Ghz FPGA. Yes, it takes a level of skill most of us don't posses but
I've seen it protos running on his work bench. Doing 1Ghz for him would
probably be rather straight forward.

IDS is three volumes of Internal Design Specifications.

The HP71 processor is used on other calcs, like the HP48, and I'am
developing a multitasking OS for this calc.
I think there was some interesting software in the HP71, the Fort/Assembler
pack for example.
This can be a great help.

It's targeted at an entirely different market than color lasers, so
that's not really a valid comparison. But yes, the Phaser III output
is *really* impressive.

Well, I had some exposure to a Phaser III, but it's been a while, and I
don't think I've ever seen anything like the above message.
I suppose you've gone through the whole "check the cables, make sure
nothing's stuck, check for grilled cheese in the ink-wells" thing? (The one
I used, at least, was a thermal transfer printer. Very nice.)
I might also suggest removing the cables, and if there's a NIC, pulling it
to see if that's the fault location.
Otherwise, it's unfortunate that most people/institutions don't have the
good taste to purchase such printers ;) I'd have liked to have more
exposure to them.

I think if I hadn't gotten to the cat fast enough, she would have...
fortuantly, the cage makes a LOT of noise when the cat would pop it open,
and after the 2nd time, I started using the water bottle.
I can't blame her, I got her as a stray, so rodents were probably her

She coined "debug"; the the use of the word "bug" to denote

Not that I have ever seen, they just step and press their paws against it
over and over... kind of like when they are pressing down a pillow to
sit, or in the case of one of mine, when he is hungry, he jumps on my
lap, and presses his paws into my sternum over and over until I am
annoyed (or in enough pain as he does it pretty hard), to get up and feed
him.

One important thing is not to piss them off. Most dogs seem to
exist to please their owners, and will do pretty much anything for
them. Cats are much less "cheap" about it, for lack fo a better
term...it's much more of a peer-to-peer relationship, but letting them
know who's in control is still important.
One can "dominate" a dog by intimidation, but one generally cannot
with cats. You must have their trust and their respect, otherwise all
is lost.
And yes, the water bottle trick does work, but overuse of that
technique...or use of it before the aforementioned trust and respect
are established...will likely prove counterproductive.

Yesterday morning, I drove up into the mountains of
West Virginia and got an ASR-33 and a KSR-33 with a
few spare parts and a five inch stack of docs. I
haven't had the time to do anything with them yet,
probably won't get to play much until Christmas week.
Anyway, the metal on both machines seems to be in
good shape, but the plastic leaves something to be
desired. The ASR is mostly just dirty, but there
is a crack at the left rear screw position. The
KSR is cleaner as it was used less, but it was
stored improperly in a box and dropped or something
and the plastic upper case (the gray case, not the
white/yellow cover over the carriage) is broken into
several pieces. So does anybody have recommendations
as to glue or other solutions? Is someone sitting on
a big stock of spare upper shells?
Thanks,
Bill

<sigh> I was developing a TAPI/TSPI driver for Rockwell-based chipset
voice modems back in 1994. I *still* get requests for expertise on
the chipset...

Training cats is easy; herding them is something else (witness
Jay's efforts to entice us to stay on-topic)!

Hopefully <crossed-fingers emoticon> when the board fires Carly
as they surely will when the merger doesn't happen, they'll get
someone in there who will fire the suits and rehire the people
they let go (engineers, customer service, technicians, etc).

Dude-
Wouldn't United Van Lines be cheaper? They move vintage
computers with the same grace and delicacy that they
move fine crystal or china.

I got an e-mail from Rob Chambers of thinkman,com. He says that Windows XP
and D4 Time both use port 123 udp for SNTP.
He suggested disabling Windows Time Service, but I took the easy way out
and downloaded the NIST time program from:
http://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq/service/its.htm and it is working OK
with XP.

Hello Gang,
Here's a user that needs parts and support. I'll
provide the parts, if they find any of what I have
available to be acceptable. You provide the support.
It is not intended to be free. You may quote whatever
price you deem adequate to get them back in business.
All they can do is say no if they don't like it.
Of the SCSI Controllers that I had, all Dilogs have
been sold ( one to Sweden and two to Louisiana ).
What I have left is two Emulex UC07 and an Aviv QSA,
plus any other parts at ...

If anybody wants to take this on, email me ASAP.

re: Request for purchasing DILOG SCSI controller
Dear Sir,
We have VAXstation 3200 that works with operation
system VAX VMS V5.3.
The system has Tape Driver TK50, which gives possibility
of installation of the different programs.
We have problems with Q-bus SDI disk controller "DILOG 57154D"
that is inserted in VAX3200. This controller is connected with
two devices:
WREN6 SCSI HDD(600Mb) and LD1200 Optical disk drive.
Please inform us if you have for replacement up mentioned
SCSI Host Adapter or it's analog, adequate for our situation
or if you can repair our adapter. Please quote the prices and
give us terms for your service. We ask also to give us detailed
instructions for installation, and if any specialized software
is needed, TK50 compatible cassette with this program.
Looking forward for your reply,
Sincerely,
<snip - contact info witheld until arrangements firmed up>

here.
Surely all of these will have expired for the PDP-11/70,
and quite possibly for the entire PDP-11 family.
In fact, the early VAX patents must have expired
too - I recall that MSCP is gone (or at least,
going).

Hi. I have the OpenVMS Hobbyist Kit and I can't seem to find the DECnet
Phase IV license PAK. I have both the OS PAK and the layered products
PAK's.
Peace... Sridhar
