The DEC haul from last month included some manuals that I
already have so I will make them available to the list.
The manuals and the quantities:
TK50 Tape Drive Subsystem; User's Guide - 2 copies
TK70 Streaming Tape Drive; Owner's Manual - 1 copy
TZK10 Cartridge Tape Drive; User Guide - 1 copy
TZK12 525mb SCSI Tape Drive; Installation Guide - 2 copies
VT320; Installing and Using the VT320 Video Terminal - 2 copies
The plan:
1) Send an email reserving your manual(s)
2) I will email you to confirm your reservation
3) After confirmation of your reservation, shoot me $2 per manual via
Paypal (mzthompson(a)aol.com) to cover the cost of mailing.

I don't think they see any reason to. However, I must confess to rather
likeing 2.6 as I've got a bunch of S-Bus cards that won't run on higher
(both 100Mbit Ethernet and SCSI cards). Still I was able to come up with
enough HW to be able to run 8 on my SS20.

Why not just get the stuff on eBay? I bought my 8 kit on eBay for about
$30-40 less than Sun wanted. It was still in the shrinkwrap.

OpenBSD seems to work pretty good. I've got it on some of my Sparcs at the
moment. In the case of my SparcBook 3GS, it's the only thing I've got to
run on it :^(

Nice! While a Sparc is almost usable on a 17", you really need a 19-21" :^)
I've got to admit though, I've not even bothered to hook a monitor back up
to my SS20, it's more convenient to either telnet in, or bring up its
desktop on my Mac (same with my main VMS systems).

Dear cognoscenti,
I am putting together an old DEC 11/53 system, and so far am missing the SLU
for connecting a console terminal to the processor card. The card has a
34-pin flat cable connector, but my (MicroVAX vintage) SLU has two cables
(10-pin and 20-pin). The SLU sets baud rate and makes up the serial
connections, that's about all, so with sufficient information I may be able
to just cable up directly without an SLU. Can you suggest a source for
pinout information for the subject processor/SLU interconnection?
Thanks for your help.

Hello. I was yesterday reviewing some stuff I received recently
>from USA and I've checked that one DEC RDD40 that I received don't
has a caddy to insert the cd-rom.
Obvious question: Where could be obtained one ?
Thanks in advance.
Greetings and Best Regards from Spain.
