VMS is the primary OS, most any version and Ultrix (dec unix) then there is NetBSD if you can get around the media problem for initial install. FYI: you really need a tk50 or TK70 tape or compatable CDrom as those are the to most likely non networked transport medias. Allison

I just inherited a pair of MV-II . they are mostly complete, I seem to be missing the console serial adaptor with the switches for one of them... also does anyone have a MV-II ethernet board? or any other interesting MV-II boards :) I'd love to get these up and running. I got a SCSI card fo unknown manufacture (haven't id'd it yet) and am hoping to get this beastie up and running soon :) what OS can I run on it???

But I'm getting ahead of myself -- I'm not ready Good luck as far as I know 2.11 didn't have native support for SCSI. Not to say you couldn't write your own driver. However when 2.11 was current SCSI was still called SASI and likely not found on most PDP-11s. Allison

I'm using OE (outlook express) it sees it as likely RTF not HTML. HTML is something PINE dislikes but RTF or other MIME types are possible.

Problem Posts????? was Re: Altair 8800 front panel lamps

by ajp166＠bellatlantic.net

When I view YOUR post the fonts on the system here change. if I set them back and go back to this message the same thing happens. Usually it's HTML or RTF messages that do that.

SCSI or Voodoo?

by CARL.P.HIRSCH＠sargentlundy.com

Well, since the Mac Quadra 700 is of 91 vintage, it looks like I can ask questions about it... I found this on teamexcess.com - ST15150N Seagate 3.5" 4.3GB 1.6" Half Height SCSI H-ST-15150N Narrow 50-pin Assuming the jumpers are set correctly, should this work internally in a Quadra 700? thanks, -carl hirsch
