Off-topic, at least as much as an HP/Compaq merger...
I picked up a pair of Compaq ProLiant 7000 servers at a
great price. Up to four PPro 200s, 12 sleds, rack mount.
They've been scrubbed and I need any version of the
Compaq SmartStart CDs that'll let me reboot and reconfigure
the systems to see how well they work.
These CDs are $50 on eBay, but that's probably people selling
their old sets. I'm hoping someone here will have an old set
they might be willing to donate or trade...

Until I get my hands on a copy of the venerable "Beneath Apple Dos"
is there anyone who can point me to an online resource describing the
Apple ][ disk controller P6 ROM state machine? The exact uses
for the Q6 and Q7 switches ($C0EC-$C0EF)? Or would be willing to
summarize from the mighty tome for me?
Sorry to bungie post (I'm a brand new list member as of right now),
it's not my normal habit, but web searches are failing me for this
particular info. The nearest I've found [1] is a bit too cryptic
without supplementary descriptions.
Cheers,

I may have a version of the 3.2 SmartStart at home. If you can't get
one, let me know.

You need interface cards for the b&w HP Sacnjets flatbed? I might
have one in my basement, with the two HP Scanjets. I'll have to look
tonight...

I don't know if anyone caught this but I did an interview on the Todd
Mundt show about a week or so ago:
Here is the Real Audio archive:

My interview starts at about the 28 minute mark.

PC-wise, I hope they just sort of do away with each other. IMHO, the
current HP and Compaq lines represent the lowest point in mass-produced
boxes. As bad as E-Machines and Packard Bells. Additionally, obtaining
the drivers (when the customer has lost the restore disk) can be
impossible, and when it *is* possible I'm often looking at a 15 MB download
for the video and 11 MB more for sound.
This is grotesque -- crappy, proprietary hardware running bloated software.
It's a wonder people put up with it. Perhaps they won't anymore.

Extraneous uses of computers systems.
In the same vein somewhere between 1974-1976 one of our systems guys used to
backup the RP04's on our PDP11/50 to 9-track tape. He would go to sleep on
a mat next to the system. When the backup finished he would then run a
program that would perform a series of head seeks that resulted in a shaking
of the drive and the floor next to the drive. Very expensive alarm clock.

I hope you don't mean the EtherFast 10/100 LNE100TX cards... they are
*way* too sensitive to noisy LANs... I've had to pull several and replace
them with either Intel Pro/100 adapters, or drop back to some old 3Com
3c509 10Mbps combo cards... Of course, YMMV, etc...
