I've got RPG for the /36. Don't know if that interests you or not?

OK, guys. I looked at the box, and it's too confusing for me to list
everything here, given that I'm not familiar with the various distros
and all the associated patches and stuff (which, I believe, is official
terminology....)
Therefore, to be fair to everyone, I am proposing that someone who
does know what the heck all this is act as librarian and get those
bits that are needed to those that need them. I would ship the
whole kit'n'kaboodle (again, proper terminology...) to that person,
and wash my hands of the whole pile. That way, I don't accidentally
mis-describe (I'm on a roll here....) something and send the wrong
discs to someone.
Sound like a plan? If you're willing to be librarian, email me off-list
and we'll work out shipping arrangements.
I just want to be helpful.....

Hi All,
I'm still adding to my collection of HP stuff. One fo the things that
I'm looking for are the HP Application Notes, particurly the ones dealing
with their computers and calculators. Does anyone have any that they're
willing to part with?

A Mac I bought some time ago has a ComputerEyes video capture NuBus board,
made by Digital Vision. From memory, this contains only standard chips, so it
should be relatively easy to reverse-engineer.
If anyone knows where to get Mac driver software for this board, *please* let
me know. Digital Vision are no longer around.

I have heard of (but not seen) dual-sided NeXT MO disks. 256MB/side, total
512MB, but you have to eject it and physically turn it over to access the
other side. I never understood why those existed until now.

Interesting question!
>Does anyone have a NeXT MO disk which I can borrow?
Probably. I definitely have some "bad" disks which my OD can't read, which
you can have (and may be able to resurrect with dd or whatever). I may also
have a "good" disk not in use at the moment, which I can lend you for
experimentation. I'll sort through my pile of OD's and see which I can
spare.

;-) I like to think I could be useful to such people too. Either by
describing how to clean the dirt out of their MO drive (which is often all
it needs) or by properly dispositioning their unwanted disks... ;-)

I've also been frustrated by the lack of downloadable S800 software. The one
notable exception is the Informix site. Seems like most of the packages that
I've downloaded from there run without any problem.
It took awhile but, I was finally able to compile gcc on a S800 box. For
some reason, I was have trouble installing downloaded packages using
SWINSTALL so, now I just tar them into the directory that I want. Ever since
I've started doing that, the installs are working a lot better. Of course
all those failed build attempts have taught me something about the
configuration and build procedure which will certainly increase the success
rate.
I have been able to install most of the other packages from the HPUX site on
my 800 series boxes but still have problems with some of the larger apps. In
particular the PERL installation is causing me to pull out what's left of my
hair.... AARG!!!
If anyone needs assistance installing "stuff" on a S800, I'll be glad to
assist.

Well, if it is similar to the QVT-102, then I have the manual for the '102,
and if that'd be helpful... I don't think that the two models are very
different really... The QVT-102's that I have came with my 3B2, yuck, I
really am desiring genuine AT&T/Teletype video terminals.
