Fw: PDP 11/34 Console & cards

by fcharp＠rogers.com

All, With regards to the DEC CDs, I will extract the titles of the manuals (about 200, I think) and post them. There are too many service bulletins and the titles are all numbered, so I won't have the time for that. For those who requested the CD's, I will let you know when they are ready -- some time this week. I am not sure that mounting images of the CDs on ftp is a good idea (I don't know what the copyright issues are there), but I don't mind making copies for those who want them. ...oh -- and yes, I will let you know about the stuff that I would like to get pretty soon... :-) Cheers, Frederic Charpentier

VAX 6400 booting saga: barred from using MULTINET (sigh!)

ObNitPick (just to prove we're back in list mode :-)): I believe Jerome means CompacTape and CompacTape II. DECTape is the 3/4" stuff on the "funny little reels". Nominal capacities are 95MB for TK50 and 295MB for TK70. I suspect a larger blocking factor will indeed get you more partitions on the TK70. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York

Anyone interested in a modem-design book?

by dpeschel＠eskimo.com

The local Barnes and Noble has one copy of this book: The Theory and Practice of Modem Design John A.C. Bingham Format: Hardcover, 1st ed., 480pp. ISBN: 0471851086 Publisher: Wiley, John & Sons, Incorporated Pub. Date: November 1990 It's not cheap ($160) but it looked reasonably meaty and I doubt it's easy to find. If anyone wants it, let me know. -- Derek

IBM 3274-61C controller

by rhblakeman＠kih.net

Well after some searching I find that this monster is a "controller" (I guess a terminal or network controller). Anyway I'm taking offers (shipping would be added to the offer unless you pick up in KY) for it - condition (other than good general external condition) is unknown, haven't even put a powr cord to it yet.

overclocking older processors

by mcguire＠neurotica.com

I was just reminded of when I overclocked an F11 chipset on a PDP-11/23 (KDF11-A) to 18MHz. It seems to me that it might be possible to overclock the 78032 on a KA630. Anybody ever done that? -Dave -- Dave McGuire St. Petersburg, FL
