All,
Two members of the list have kindly offered to web-host the
pictures I took this weekend. Goldarg has his site up:
>I've put them up at http://gecko.myftp.org/ClassicCMP/ and they are listed
>off of http://gecko.myftp.org as "Mark Tapley's pictures for the ClassicCMP
>mailing list"'
Dan Veeneman is working on putting them up at another site, details to follow.
Thanks to both, and to everyone else, surf away!

Did anyone else notice the approximately 2 dozen Data General Nova items
that were just placed on eBay? It includes hardware, papertape software and
manuals. Thought some of you Nova types might find it interesting if you
hadn't seen the posts.

It turns out that the IBM Bios on the Future Domain MCS700 SCSI board
was conflicting with the ESDI controller built into the P70. The solution
was simple...one of those things so simple you don't even consider until
someone else points it out. I pulled the BIOS off of the SCSI card! I had
initially tried disabling the BIOS in the system setup but that didn't work.
Now that I've pulled the BIOS physically off the board, the conflicts have
disappeared and I had both a CD-ROM and external 1gig SCSI hard disk running
off of it's SCSI-2 connector in no time, using the IBM drivers for OS/2 and
the Future Domain PowerSCSI 4 drivers under DOS. Too bad I lose the
bootability doing this, but that's not an issue at the moment.

I am trying to un-stuff a driver for the Stylewriter 1200 (the driver
itself is actually for the 1500 color unit) but Stuffit 1.5.1 cannot
handle the driver's .sit archive.
This is being attempted on an SE30 under 7.0.1 OS. Unfortunately, I am
not able to find anything on Aladdin that will update that 'early bird'.
Can anyone offer any suggestions as to how to solve my dilemna?
Thanks,

Hi all,
we're running a *small* network consisting of two Sun SPARCstations (1+ and
2) and a CalComp CCS600 ES laser printer. They're all connected to
"Transceivers" with 15-pin Sub-D connectors on them which sit along a yellow cable
(approx. 10mm = 4/10" in diameter). AFAIK this concept is called "Thick Ethernet"
(IEEE 802.3), am I right?
Now in an effort to connect our modern PC to this network as well, we've put
another transceiver on the cable strictly according to the installation
guide that came with it (drilling hole into cable with recommended tool etc...).
Since we've done that, it's no longer possible to print from one of the SUNs
to the CalComp although the PC is not yet connected to the transceiver. We
couldn't test whether each SUN can see the other one as one of them is
currently "down" (yes, the NVRAM's bad again...)
The whole assembly looks somewhat like this:
TermRes _______ _______ _________ _______ TermRes
I-------I TC1 I------I TC2 I------I TC3 I------I TC4 I------I
I I I I
SUN 1+ SUN 2 CalComp (planned) PC
TC1, 2 and 4 are from Intergraph, TC3 is a InterLan NV1000.
Many thanks in advance for any help with that problem.

Hi;
I have a couple of items that I think the group might be interested in.
First is a complete Ohio Scientific 4P computer with attached drive. I have
had it for 11 years. Unfortunately it went through my house fire about 10
years ago. It suffered smoke damage because it was in a room several rooms
away from the fire. It doesn't show any signs of heat damage. It has it's
attached floppy disk drive but I would assume the drive would not work.
The outside is pretty ugly from the smoke damage. I could provide photos is
anyone is interested. I am offering it to the list first. Unfortunately I am
not looking for trades. I am moving soon and need to sell for cash. Please
contact me offline at Whoagiii(a)aol.com if interested and if you have
questions.
The other item I have is on eBay and is closing tonight. It is a box of 3"
CF-2 Amsoft Amstrad diskettes, new and still sealed.
It's URL is

Oh great and mighty Sellam, have you considered the Worcester Centrum
Centre, located in sunny Worcester, MA, about 1 hour from Boston, and 1 hour
>from Providence, RI (straight shot down Rt. 146)??
http://www.centrumcentre.com/, or
Worcester's Centrum Centre
50 Foster Street
Worcester, MA 01608
Phone: 508.755.6800
Fax: 508.929.0111
I have NO affiliation with them, but it's about a 1/2 hour drive from my
home, so I do have a somewhat vested interest :-)
Worcester has all the usual big city amenities, and even it's own airport!
Thanks!
Rich B.
