Wanted: Old issues of DEC Professional

by mrbill＠mrbill.net

I ran across a Jan. '84 issue of DEC Professional in the last box of docs-and-such I got in; anybody got other back issues of this magazine they'd be willing to part with? Bill -- Bill Bradford mrbill(a)mrbill.net Austin, TX

another DECServer question ...

Are you using change, define, or set? If you you set, only the volatile configuration is changed. define changes only the permanent configuration, and change changes both. -- Eric Dittman dittman(a)dittman.net

Personal Computer World magazine: RML 380Z

Perhaps it's time to ask again, just their OK to >put up scans more than, say, 10 years old would be helpful. At least they now make their magazine available on CD-ROM (both for subscribers and just straight purchase even if you do no subscribe). I think adverts and so on are omitted (apparently copyright usually rests with the advertiser), but all the articles seem to be present. No use now, but scanning wil be unnecessary 10 years from now :-) Antonio

CTM-70 info

by Martin.Kaeser＠auge.de

Hello all, i located a CTM-70 desk size computer and need some more information. Here is what i have (correction welcome): CTM is probably short for "Computertechnik M?ller", located in southern Germany in the early 1970s. Mr M?ller produced one or two dozends of his computers, then CTM went out of business. He went on to design the hyperstone processor. The hyperstone company promised to take a look at their archive, but i did not get any response after this first one. The machine is built into a desk, complete with keyboard, monitor, printer and three 8" drives. There is no documentation on the machine, the only software is costum made. I am looking for information on the hardware, the operating system (if any), and pinouts of the keyboard, printer and monitor connectors. Thanks, Martin K?ser

cleaning qbus enclosures

by mrbill＠mrbill.net

I've got a stack of 11/03 / 11/23 qbus enclosures on my workbench out in my garage, and I've *never* seen hardware so *dirty* - this has a good 10-15 years worth of dust and dirt on it. Any suggestions/tips for cleaning and reassembling older equipment? Is there a FAQ anywhere? I know Dave M. mentioned using some kind of alcohol to clean backplane slots on his -8E...

Chevy Vega Re: Cheap cars (was: 1%...)

by Gary.Messick＠itt.com

OT: When I was a kid, we used to have a 30' Wellcraft Scarab Offshore boat. Not only was it one of the first to have big blocks (Chevy 454's), we had 6-71's on them. This was back in the late 70's early 80's, when the professional offshore racers where CID limited, normally aspirated. Once a year they'd come to Lake St. Clair in MI for a race. They'd be all decked out in their flack jacket/life vests, full-face helmuts, and we'd BLOW past them with our stereo blasting, girls sittin' on the back in bikini's. Boy did THAT pi$$ them off!

Would be great if you could make that available to all of us. By the way, does anyone have any other stuff from old mags scanned and uploaded anywhere on teh web? I'm very interested in getting as much as I can, and also if anyone has any spare mags for sale I collect these too!

PDP-11/23 PLUS commercial instruction set (CIS)

My interest is about do some probes with COBOL and another compiler(s) that could take advantage of this option, checking the differences in speed and reliability with and without the CIS.
