Interesting find at the VaTech auction last weekend. I never heard of
General Robotics Corp ... anyone else?? The size of a rack mount micro
but it uses DEC PDP-11 cards [has a M-8186] plus a bunch of GR
propriatary
cards. Odd but neat. Any info always appreciated.

Why oh why is it that software that uses dongles for copy protection never,
ever, includes the dongle in thrift or used software stores? Is there a
classiccmp approved solution to keeping older software running, even if the
dongle is long gone? For example, through buying old systems I've now
acquired three original versions of an Amiga DB package called Superbase
(two Superbase Personals, one Superbase Professional). I have original
disks, manuals, etc., but no dongles. Short of finding "broken" copies of
the software, is there any way to defeat the hardware check that's looking
for the dongle? What are the ethics of finding a way to defeat copy
protection on old software? Any suggestions much appreciated.
Cheers,

You did not fully follow your professor when s/he lectured on communications theory.
Sampling an analogue signal at twice the highest frequency of interest, will result in zero output at exactly that frequency, as you identified. This effect is known as sampling uncertainty. However, if you sample an analogue signal of 0.9999999....*f(max) at 2*f(max), you will indeed get the desired result, no uncertainty there. The farther your signal to be sampled is away from f(max), the quicker the desired output signal will be available.
If we just could figure out what will happen when the input frequency is h i g h e r than f(max).......

Does anyone have any empty DEC Storageworks SBB cases
available? I'm trying to find some 5.25" cases I can
stick a CDROM drive and DLT drive in to use with my
Storageworks shelves so I can hot-swap the drives
between my two systems.

hi everyone,
I've just subbed to this list to try and find out some information about a
machine i've rescued from literally being thrown into a skip as scrap.
The company i work for as just thrown out several UNIX machines.... of these
i managed to rescue:
Complete Silicon Graphics Indy system, with monitor and fully working
SUN SPARCstation IPC, fully working
IBM RS/6000 POWERstation 530, fully working (probably)
There where other (older) machines that went, but unfortunately i wasn't
able to save them.
it's the IBM i'm trying to find information on, like identifying how much
memory it has, disk capacity, CPUs etc... i also want to know how to connect
a terminal up to it so i can get it running on my network and see what's on
it.
It was operational the last time it was turned on, i had to pull the network
and power out of the back of it when i had it so it hasn't been moved since
it was powered off... it used to have a keyboard and a large colour monitor
on it, sadly i dont have these. The CD-Rom drive was also removed for some
reason.
There's a label on the front: 7013 26-0111
and one on the back saying: "This machine upgraded to General Availability
level on 04/10/91"
If anyone has any details on this can you please contact me!
there are some pictures of it at:

Pardon the auction announcement...
I'm unloading some truly rare Amiga items, particularly clothing in
this batch - how about a CBM bag, an Amiga checkmark sweatshirt, or
a t-shirt from the first Amiga "wake" party held in 1987?

For the classic-minded, there's an 8-port ISA serial card for a PC.

Hello.
Since I've gotten absolutely no response, I'm confused. In light of
the recent postings about selling items to list members, I'm
wondering if I've inadvertantly stepped over some line here or if
nobody actually wants this system.
If the former is the case, I apologize, as I thought it would be better
to offer it here first.
If the latter is the case, oh well. I'll try it on ebay. I just hate to
trash a perfectly good Tandy, and I don't have room to keep it.
I'm not looking to make a killing here. I would just like a little
something to partially recoup my original expenditures.
Thanks.
