Hi everybody,
For those of you who've read my notes on the MIPS RISComputers I'm trying to
get going, I ask this because I may want to replace the QIC-120 drive that's
missing from one of them with a different model.
I'd like some opinions on tape drives. The drive would need to plug into a
SCSI interface, and I'd like it to fit in a 5.25" half-height bay. That's
pretty much all I'd require from it. It would be nice if the drive held at
least as much as a QIC-120 (about 120MB, it so happens ;), and was
inexpensive and easy to get used.
Any suggestions? What's the going price on DDS-1 these days?
Regards,
Chris

Most literature that I've seen gives Hopper that distinction...however
John Lawson mentioned a book that seems to prove otherwise. Scans of
that would be very cool to have.

I have a tektronix phaser 340 (which I think is rather less then 10 years
old, but I'm not certain...) that has started saying "Fault 05,000.42:8178".
I was wondering if anyone here is familiar with these printers and/or knows
where I can get a fault code reference for them, because I really don't want
to pay xerox to fix my printer. I have a feeling this is something pretty
simple -- the printer was off for a while (like about 3 months) and then just
started doing this last night. any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan

Does anyone have a manual, or know how to operate, an Everex digital
cassette drive?
The one I have is all black, and has a DC-37 connector on the back that I
assume connects to an old-style IBM PC drive interface. If this is the
case, I assume I still need drivers to run this thing? And maybe some
operating software?
Does anyone know what the hell I'm talking about?
Please help if you can. Many brownie points await ye.

Ok, after a quick web search, it looks like I may be able to use a
program called Xpress Librarian to access this drive. Anybody got it?

I just picked up an Encore Corp. Annex Terminal server from my
university's salvage. It seems to power up ok and I can get it to have a
link to my network. I can even set an ip address to it. However I can't
ping it. It seems to want to net boot (as far as i can tell).
Anyone have the boot software for these or have a resource to point me
towards? The manufacturer's site seems to be of no help, and neither is
google.
Here's the specifics:
Encore Computer Corp. Annex
Model # ANN-01 (Cant really read first char, can be different)
>From starting it with the switch in 'diag mode' i can get it to spit out
the following:
Board ID 11 - Serial Number 87
REV ROM: Maj Rev 3 Min Rev 1
ROM Software Rev # 0305
Thanks to anyone that has any ideas.

Water spray bottle works wonders. 3 spritz later and one of my cats has
stopped popping the hampster cage open and carrying the hampster around
the house.
Some people say tape works well to keep them off things (sticky side up),
but both my cats seem to rather like it, and I find they stand on it
padding at the tape purring happily.

Any chance you can forward those drivers my way? I have a 40mb HardCard
that I would like to see if I can get working.
Thanks
