On a vax it can be any device and does not have to be the first.
Typically device
6 or 7 is reserved to the host other than that anything goes.
Mine boots DUA3 {3} on the MVII and DKA500 {5} on the 3100m76 and the
3100M10e
it can be DKBnnn {100,200,300 or 400} as that one has different bootable
version on each disk.

Of course it's possible to copy the files from the distribution tape to a more
reliable medium. I did this, I think they totalled 70MB or so when
compressed.
On that subject: Since I have no way to run AMIX, I have no way of knowing
whether the backup technique I used -- simply copying all 19 or so files from
the tape to disk using a tape handler on the Amiga -- worked successfully.
Does anyone on the list have the capability to install and use AMIX from
tape? I could upload the files, then perhaps they could check whether a fresh
tape can be built from them.
To actually install Amiga UNIX requires a Commodore A2091 or A3000 SCSI
controller. Apparently someone made patches to allow AMIX to be used with GVP
controllers, but I have never seen them. (I would really like to get hold of
that, since maybe it will be possible to install AMIX on my A2000 then. But
you probably have to install AMIX before being able to incorporate the
patches...)

'Allo List - My trusty Toshiba laptop has fallen victim to the ravages
of Indian Mains Chaos. It was plugged in charging over night at a hotel;
the line voltage must have gone up near 300. The next day, I noticed it
running on batt though plugged in, and when I re-seated the mains plug the
laptop made one of those expensive little 'pop!' noises. We've removed the
internal SMPSU and tried to fix it, but it's tiny and full of SMDs and I
have no schematic. Some of the SMD resistors were actually blown off the
board.. If I understand the unit, it puts out 12VDC. Ihave connected an
external 12V supply to the leads, but no joy yet.
Until it ran down, the machine worked fine on the battery., including
after removal of the SMPSU and re-assembly of the case..
Now, with 12V on the SMPSU wires, the 'mains plug' icon LED flashes "one
long - two short - one long - off one long period"
The unit will not power up in this mode.
If anyone has any direct Toshiba info: I would like -
What this code means.
What the actual internal PS voltage output/current is.
What the battery connections/voltages are (for ext charging}
If/Where a service manual is available for the laptop
If anyone has a 420CDT junker they'd like to sell. All I want is the main
board and power supply. Also the battery would be nice for a spare.
I have located a source for the SMPSU and mobo and batteries, but with
shipping and %65 import duty... I'd rather not if I can avoid it.
I would also like the orginal user/operation manual (w/setup disks?), if
anyone has one they'd like to jettison.
Of course I'll pay for packing/shipping.
This is kinda urgent.. we've been messing around with the PSU for a week
or two now... and I need my laptop back.. :(
sigh. I know it's probably new laptop time, but this one does just what
I want it to do... and is all set up. Plus here in India, Laptops are
twice what they are elsewhere. I have to fly to Singapore or Hong Kong,
buy one, then try and convince the Kustoms Aggents that yes, I did have it
with me when I left the country. fuhgeddiboutit!
Hopefully...

Hey gang,
I recently changed companies and went from a NT environment to a UNIX shop.
While I have decent skills in UNIX, some additional experience certainly
wouldn't hurt.
So... In order to reinforce my professional standing by learning more UNIX,
and to entertain my collecting hobby by doing it on an older system, I drug
out one of my old HP 9000/832s and fired it up. The system is curently
running HPUX 8.0
Before I screw up anything (which is inevitable), I really need to make a
recovery tape. Question: How can I make a COMPLETE backup of the system?
Ideally, I'd like to make a bootable tape using my 9-track and then copy
EVERYTHING on to additional tapes. The system does have a built-in DAT drive
but the 9-track is soooo much more dependable.
I've got plenty of hardware so, another possibility would be to create a
second bootable disk(s) and copy the files from set of disks to the other.
Once again, I'm not entirely sure how to do that.
I do have the 10.20 distribution CDs so, even in the event of a serious
crash, I could install a new OS. However, I would loose all the other
applications that are currently installed.
Also... I'm having trouble creating a kernel with networking installed.
After being around for a few years, the config files are probably hosed and
I don't have enough C programming skills to fix them. So... Does anyone
have a copy of the original install media for HPUX 8.0 they'd be willing to
part with?
Thanks, Steve Robertson

There was a "user manual" for the Apple ][ published in January 1978.
It was 8.5x11, had a red cover, and was shipped with every Apple ][
until the newer manuals appeared. This was referred to as the
"Red Book". It was in no way an "internal document".
There may well have been some *other* document called a Red Book, but
I don't think that's what this thread is about.
Actually, I haven't had any bad experiences with SAM on HP-UX 8 , yet. It
doesn't do as much as the 10.20 version but, for routine tasks it seems to
work OK. It's certainly MUCH faster than 10.20 version on the same hardware.
UPDATE: I tried to do a ODE -> backup, using my 10.20 IPR disk but was not
successful. I tried to backup to tape (DAT and Reel) and tried to copy to
another set of disks. Each time, the system reported that there wasn't
enough memory to perform the operation. Bummer :-(
Currently, the machine has 32MB of memory. I assume this should be plenty?
Once or twice, I've had an unexpected failure on that box and had assumed
that I was screwing something up. Maybe I've just got a bad memory card.
This weekend, I'll try swapping cards between the two 832's and see if I can
find the problem.
Is there a HPUX or ODE utility for testing memory?
I've got a bunch of spare memory modules that I canabalized from another
system. Most are 8MB although I do have some other sizes as well. What are
the rules for installing memory? Can the memory go in any of the slots? Can
I mix 4MB and 8MB cards?
Thanks for the help, Steve

What was the first model Osboune computer that was manufactured? I
picked up two Osbournes today, one is a model OCC-1 but the other doesn't
have a model number. It just says Osbourne 1 on the side of the case. The
O-1 has a permanently attached power cord instead of a detachable one and
there's no door over the compartment were the power cord attaches. The
compartment is also much shallower on the O-1.

Friends,
A number of items requires a new home:
The following stuff belongs to a charity and it would be nice if they
got something for it
- Brother WP-1 Text processing system in working condition.
Screen, single floppy drive and printer all in one.
- Toshiba 5 1/4" external floppy disk drive Model PA 7225E.
The external 18V DC 0.6A power supply is missing.
Available free
- Qume daisywheel printer from Decmate III system
with spare wheels and ink ribbons.
- Wang system unit PC-S5-3 with the following cards:
PM101 IBM Mono Emulation

The unit has a 5 1/4" floppy and a hard disk
- Wang display Mon-1240 from another system

Hello....
I have a video card that outputs RGB, but I have no RGB monitor... Not
knowing anything about video standards, I ask the following :-)
- How hard would it be to build an RGB-to-VGA converter to use my computer's
VGA monitor (well, actually capable of 1024x768 non-interlaced)? Does
anyone have schematics, or documentation to guide me along?
- Would it be easier to convert RGB to composite video? I have several
devices that can take composite input....
- Has anyone bought a reasonably cheap (sub-$100 US) RGB-to-VGA converter
unit, and been happy with it? If so, where did you get it from?
Thanks!
Rich B.
P.S. I subscribe to the digest, so I cannot reply directly....
