Louis,
Since it's in Joe's backyard, I'll let him pick the location. This time of
year a parking lot is probably not the best choice. I'm thinking maybe a
public park or at the very least a place with some shade!
Not sure but, I gotta feeling the folks at Skycraft would take exception to
us posting flyers there.

The ST20 range (now dead?) was basically the transputer core
minus the links. I don't know how long they kept that range
going though, at the time that I left (mid 96) the T450 had
been renamed ST20450 and was being used in a set-top box. I
forget who the box was for though :-/
It's probably fair to say that the ST20450 was the last of
the "real" transputers, by the time it was released to market
the T9000 was still under development (did it *ever* make
it out the door as a product?). I'm not sure it if was that
widely used - it wasn't exactly promoted with a fanfare :-)
I got the impression that ST didn't really want the ST20
though, it didn't sit well with their other microcontrollers
and they were more interested in developing graphics chips
at ST Bristol by the time I left. Shame.

Curious if any ethernet experts are out there - I finally got my PS/2
9595-OPT server out of storage and built with WinNT4.0 and originally wanted
to put two NICs in - one is a 3Com 3C523 with AUI/Coax and the other is a
3C529TP with AUI/RJ45 - both ethernet though. NT finds thema nd seems to
agree with them and I am able to give each a TCP/IP address but the network
never comes up. If I pull the 523 (or even the 529) it does. Where's the
conflict coming from? What's the easiest way to correct this? I've had token
ring and ethernet in at the same time int he past fine but the problem seems
to be due to the same type of network topology being duplicated.
I dealt with a similar prob.. Came down to both cards were factory set
to
hard IO/IRQ assignment. Just grab the 3Com config tools, set them to
0x280 and 0x300 IRQ 10 and 11(or whatever you have free).
Mine were both 529 tho..

The first really interesting thing to _not_ get deleted in weeks on the

As they're both 3Com nic's my guess would be is that they're trying to grab
the same IRQ (and/or DMA if they use DMA) and there's IRQ conficts with
both of them in the machine.
The only thing I can think of is if you have some DOS-based 3Com NIC setup
software, boot the box with a dos boot disk with 1 of the NICs in the
machine, and configure the card to use a different IRQ (like, say, IRQ 5 if
you only have one printer port) then shutdown, insert the 2nd card & see if
it boots OK.
>>
we're talking microchannel here, so the machine will have whatever settings
it needs to configure the NICs from the.adf files it loads in. To verify,
boot into the IML partition and choose the option to view configuration. If
there's a splat (*) beside any of the resources listed for the NICs, there is
indeed a resource conflict. that can be changed by choosing the option to
change configuration and seeing if there are relevant options to choose. you
got NT service pack 3 or higher installed?

Anyone know where I might find an ASR-33 Teletype (good condition,
reasonable price, etc.) in the Boston area?
-kb, the Kent who started out on an ASR-33.
Several years ago, I began writing an assembly language reference
manual for PDP-11 computers that was modeled after notes from a VAX
assembly language class that I took. A few minutes ago, I discovered
it amongst other files in my PDP-11 files archive and an idea crossed
my mind: it's not doing anyone any good just sitting there on one of
my systems' hard drives, so, if anyone's interested in it, or
interested in completing it, let me know.
I wrote it for processing by IDOCS Mint on a PERQ, which I've heard is
similar to Scribe; anyone who's familiar with writing documents in
LaTeX should have no trouble re-writing it in LaTeX. There's one
condition to my releasing it: anyone who wants to revise it must do so
in LaTeX on something other than a system running software from
Microsoft. So, needless to say, you can't use Mickeysoft Wurd for
this, or a system running MS-Windows. :-)

Have you been to the landfill lately?
It's not exactly a jumbled pile of things with dirt on top. You see,
the landfill operator has tools. For example, the tractor-like
vehicle with spiky metal wheels, the better to break the piled things
up and spread them around a bit. That doesn't destroy the things as
thoroughly as recycling for metals but it is likely to leave 'em
pretty beat up. Think of it as something of a jigsaw puzzle for
future archaeologists.
Plus, here in Sillycon Valley there is (and has been for a few years)
significant pressure to divert things away from landfill, mostly
because the municipalities have been told to cut their landfill usage
by 50% (relative to some years ago). Not only are residential (and
one supposes commercial) users encouraged to sort out and separately
bin certain recyclables, but trash also gets sorted to separate out
some of the stuff that's not complete crap. Metals especially.

ok people i got this dallas 12887 thing beat, here it is. pins
2,3,16,20,21,22 are missing right. so 21 would have been clear real time
clock. aka clear cmos on a motherboard. take a hacksaw an cut into the
side of the dallas 12887 right in the middle of where the missing pins
20,21,22 are stop when you hit metal. take a jumper wire and short to
ground. {mine was clear after i reinstalled it cause the hacksaw must
have touched another pin} bago wango tango cleared the cmos. dave
