Not a tape, but perhaps a .TAP or .TPC image of the tape....
...the simulator doesn't have a real tape drive, you know...

You forgot A/UX.

Anybody know the font used in the d|i|g|i|t|a|l logo, and
on the old pdp logos and rack header plates?
Thanks.

Yes, I really meant PerSci.
If nobody here takes the drives, they'll go to a local metalworking
enthusiast who melts down the castings...

Another suggestion would be Brooklyn Bridge. You can transfer files using
a cable connecting the two parallel ports together. Also will work with the
serial ports

While at the junkyard yesterday, someone had dumped a bloody lot of QIC tapes.
The original labels said "AS/400 SYSTEM SOFTWARE" and such things. Great,
right?
But then there were additional labels saying such things as "H:\ NT BACKUP".
Arrrrgh! They're reusing OS/400 tapes for such things? Bastards!

I used to collect them (still have them), but never used them...
But from time to time, I'd meet someone who should... especially
when fountain pens were a bit more common than today.

The only stuff I run that way would be PCs... for the Prime, I made
a custom 50-foot 30-amp grounded extension cord, and run it all the
way from the grounded outlet in the basement upstairs to where the
computer is.

I recently got an old AlphaServer 4/275, and it worked for a while, and
then after I moved into another room, and it stopped working. I only have
one or two grounded outlets in my apartment, so I had to hook it to a
non-grounded one (via a surge protector, plugged in with a grounding
adaptor). I'm not sure if it's coincidence, but that appeared to kill the
AlphaServer (the power supply, to be precise). Is it technically possible
for non-grounded power to be able to kill a system? In general, what
type of hardware will require real grounded power to function? I have a
whole slew of PC's, for example, using non-grounded power outlets without
a hitch, so is this only going to be a problem for industrial equipment,
like AlphaServers?
Also does anyone know where I could get an AlphaServer 4/275 power supply
for cheap?
Thanks,
Terry
