Very Cool...Thanks much

I suppose almost any flavor of UNIX would be OK for improving one's skills
and if that were the only goal, I'd probably just fire up one of my Linux
boxes. I guess I could use an old 386/Linux box and fulfill my classic
collecting urges at the same time... Naw... A big ol honkin 9000 with 3
racks full of disks and twin 9-track tape drives is a whole lot cooler...
Shame I live in South Florida, I'm sure you guys that live in more northern
climates could use the extra heat I'm generating :-)
See Ya, Steve

>There is a ODE (offline diagnostic env) program called COPYUTIL
I'm not familiar with COPYUTIL and don't recall seeing in on the 10.20 CD.
I'll have another look.
I've already made a TAR of the entire file system onto tape so, it should be
possible to recover almost any files that might get hosed. Of course in
order to UN-TAR those files, the system has got to be up and running.
Unfortunately, HPUX does not support IGNITE and from what I can tell, the
8.0 version of SAM won't allow me to create a bootable disk.
I have searched docs.hp.com and there's lots of info for 10.20 and 11.00
but, nothing that goes back to 8.0.
OK... Here's another possibility...
What if I make a bootable disk using IGNITE 10.20 (I have a second 832
running 10.20), mount the disk, and then UN-TAR everything from tape on to
that disk?
NOTE: The biggest reason for not upgrading to 10.20 is that I don't have the
ANSI C compiler for 10.20. There's plenty of downloadable software available
but, virtually none of it will run without compiling first. It's a real
catch-22 situation. You gotta have the C compiler in order to compile a C
compiler like GCC. If I'm not mistaken, HP lists the compiler for $1595.
I do have the ANSI C compiler for 8.0 so, it's a lot easier to get software
to run on that box.
Anyone know of an alternate source for the compiler?
Thanks Steve,

I've used swinstall to install a few of the binaries from those archives
but, can't get ANY of them to run. I don't recall the exact error message(s)
but, it appears to be a hardware compatability issue.
Perhaps, I'll take another look at that option.
Thanks, Steve

I know it's not _quite_ 10 years old, but it's getting there. The principle
of attraction has worked and my IBM quad-PCMCIA card has attracted a couple
of hosts - a PS/2-E that it originally came out of. I have been to the IBM
support site - no concrete references to the PS-2/E. I have located reference
diskettes for all sorts of IBM-brand products, but not the 9533. It's
distinguishing features include a low-power design with one ISA slot for this
quad-PCMCIA card to minimize peripheral draw. Additionally, it uses a 2.5"
laptop disk (120Mb) and only has one serial port. As shipped from IBM, there
was an LCD panel for a monitor, but I've never seen that part in person, only
in old ads.
Does anyone have a disk image they can ship me, or a pointer to an image
somewhere? I'm thinking of turning this into a router box. I have the
PCMCIA NICs to do it with.
Thanks,

Hi folks. Sorry for the off-topic message, but this gang is about
the most concentrated body of technical knowledge that I know of.
Does anyone here know what a DB-9 FCAL terminator consists of?
-Dave McGuire
PS - Actually I guess that'd be a DA-9..
I saw the post on Abebooks, and thought I'd chime in :-)
They're great, but I now use Bibliofind (www.bibliofind.com). To me, they
have a more extensive network of dealers. I've had nothing but good deals
>from them!!
I have no stake in either site, just a happy customer ...

I had meant to put this up earlier this month, but better late than never.
Is anyone here planning on being at the Dayton Hamvention? It is this
weekend (I'll be there Friday at 08:00 if I can help it).
If yes, please write me off-line and maybe we can make arrangements to
have a classiccmp get-together.
My memories of this question from last year was a collective and
deafening "No".
