Places in Denver

by xds_sigma7＠hotmail.com

I guess if the early 1970's counts as fairly late, anyway... I can't speak for the 60's, but in the early 70's Samsonite (yes, the suitcase people) had a plant in Englewood making an 18 bit minicomputer. They called the company Electronic Processors, Inc. Colorado is more of a semiconductor fabrication area, really... Though I'm sure most people on this list will recognize Otrona...

Preventing users from loggin into a unix box

That's not what it's "supposed" to do -- it's supposed to be checked by 'login' and if it exists, cause login to refuse to accept the remote login, and print the contents (if any). Some versions of Solaris don't honour that, though :-( They just use it to contain a message given to anyone attemting to log in while a shutdwon is in progress (it's not the message printed to active sessions when a shutdown starts, though). If your system uses NIS, then you could just change the contents of the passwd line in /etc/nsswitch.conf from "passwd: files nis" to "passwd: files" and add your own entry to /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager Dept. of Computer Science University of York

Latest finds - Tandy 1000 and "Code Name: Sector"

by ethan_dicks＠yahoo.com

The Tandy 1000 was a freebie (from a friend from a cow-orker who wanted $20 for the dot-matrix printer, but the computer was free). The other item is a Milton-Bradley electronic sub hunt game from the late 1970s. Electronically, it resembles Mattel football and the like - a window of LED displays, a few discretes (to indicate cardinal points on a compass) and a bunch of buttons. The manual is present with a tutorial. Apparently, you reset the thing, then plot ship courses with crayons on a grid map, punching buttons all the way. I can't imagine trying to _actually_ play the game, but playing *with* the game was fun for at least as long as the tutorial lasted. Oh... the game was $0.67 at a thrift store because it was 75% off day for green tags. -ethan ===== Even though my old e-mail address is no longer going to vanish, please note my new public address: erd(a)iname.com The original webpage address is still going away.

TK70 / CompacTape II anywhere?

by gunther＠aurora.regenstrief.org

Hi, where do you think one could buy new or used CompacTape II (TK70) tape cardridges? It looks as if they're nowhere to find on the net. Well, I suppose one could use the new 24 GB DLT cardriges, but they are terribly expensive just for the poor VAX 6000 hobbyist. I and my fellow VAXhaxer appreciate any help, thanks -Gunther
