I've just encountered a new (well, to me anyway)
revision of the SuperBoard II (OSI model 600):
revision D, copyright 1980
I'm only familiar with REV B and this puppy has
some significant differences. All of these guys
had schematics with them when sold. If you have
a C1P or SuperBoard II, could you check the revision
and see if you have matching schematics. I'll pay
for a copy of REV D or any revision other than B
for that matter.
Thanks,

The sad bit is, I know I have this book, just can't remember where I
left it last.

Well, it would be easy enough to hack different authentication into
uucpd too, and make the hacked uucp setuid the user you want to use
for uucp. Would that be sufficient though? I think Taylor UUCP gets
away with doing its own authentication and running all peer requests
as the uucp user because it does not rely exclusively on Unix
filesystem access controls for validaction of the peer's requests.
I'm not sure how true that is of HDB UUCP.

I remember that there used to be protocol/performance advantages to
Taylor UUCP vs. other UUCP implementations. I don't remember the
details, but they were sufficient to make the (small) trouble of
building it for SunOS 4.1.1 worthwhile.
Just looking at the docs, though, if I were building something to
support UUCPs running on various oddball classic iron peers I might go
for Taylor UUCP because it does seem to support some protocols that
are specific to non-Unix UUCPs ('y' and 'v' protocols especially).

Hi,
I've recently acquired an Intergraph 2430, a Workstation based on the
Fairchild Clipper processor. The machine came without a monitor but with a
13W3 cable. In full confidence that my Hitachi CM803ET would be perfect for
the machine, I connected the machine, but it fails to sync. I tried a couple
of other fixed frequency monitors, but none of them properly synced.
Does anyone have detailed information on the pinout of the 13W3 connector of
Intergraph workstations, on the video parameters used or any other helpful
information which could help me use this machine?
Thanks,
Hans

Dear Rubywand--
I would like to donate all my old Apple II stuff to some worthy
organization.
I live in Sunnyvale, California. Perhaps you can help me locate someone
closer to me. What I have includes 2 clone CPUs with numeric kepads, shift
keys and function keys, 2 floppy drives, 2 monitors, Okidata printer with
graphic ROMs, printer card, language card, 80-column card, modem card, Z-80
card, joy sticks, joy stick switch box, PC joysticks with adapter, many
floppies of applications and games, and documentation. Thanks for your
help.

Maybe an Enigma could end up in the trash.
There are amazing thing that end up in the trash by accident, Between 1977
and 1983 when I worked at McDonnell-Douglas a cruise missile case ended up
at a high school shop class, they received the leftover wood crates. It was
locked and nobody was sure if there was a missile inside. Of course the
cases and the missiles were serial numbered. The company hadn't reported
any missing and all were accounted for. Of course nobody actually visually
counted them. Everybody believed it was a hoax until the school brought the
case to the plant and then heads rolled. Actually only an empty case. I've
heard that small military items, weapons, occasionally disappear because
they are never visually counted only accounted for in the computer.
Never blame a human blame it on the computer.

cool. thanks for clearning that up. i obviously forgot more than i thought. ;)
if i wasn't so tight on cash/space right now i would love to rescue that MINC.
i never did get mine running, and i had really wanted to.
oh well, i'm sure i'll do better in the future (gotta move, this place sucks,
ugh)
thanks for the info.

I am trying to set up a Compaticard II Rev D as a secondary FDC, but I
don't have the documentation. Anyone have a scanned copy of the manual?
The Micro Solutions Web page does not have it online!
The only parts I can figure out is the interrupt jumper on the card,
and the drive type number on the ccdriver.sys command line. On the card
why are there 2 sets of jumpers for I/O address and 2 sets of jumpers for
DMA? I know that my primary FDC is at IRQ6 and DMA2. Do I have to jumper
my Compaticard to both different IRQs and DMAs?
Thanks for your help,
Edwin
I was strolling in some suburb this evening when I found an old PS/2 monitor
abandoned in a parking lot. Only it was no monitor, but an IBM Infowindow
terminal. I really liked the flattish, grey screen, but it was a bit too heavy
to carry, particularly since there was no underground nearby. I did however
snatch the D15->twinax cable, which was a fancy plastic construction, as
opposed to the heavy-duty metal thing I've had before. It seems that every
other PS/2 I get has been used as some IBM mainframe terminal.
It was a sad parting, but would that terminal have done me any good? I've read
that IBM terminals are not really interactive, but just glorified punched
cards. The hardware interface doesn't make things easier, either. The terminal
had a female DB25 as well on the back, I suppose that was for a printer and no
serial async connection?

Anybody interested in one or more AT&T 353A adapters ?
Here is a quote from the manual :
"The 353-type adapters are coaxial-to-twisted-pair baluns that eliminate the
need for coaxial cable to connect IBM 3170- and 3270-type data equipment
using the Type A protocol. The adapters balance the unbalanced coaxial
signals from the IBM equipment so that they are compatible with the
unshielded, twisted-pair wiring of the AT&T Premises Distribution System
(PDS). By using the 353 adapters at the terminal and controller, you can
maintain a data transmission link at a speed of 2,36 Mbps while saving the
expense of coaxial cable."
If anybody wants more information please let me know.
Stefan.
