>Ok, your 9-track mag tape...thats a 7970E right?
I have several 7978 drives with HPIB interfaces. I do not have a 7970 (yet).
I am hoping the 7978 will be backwards compatible and work with the 1000/E
without writing custom drivers, etc...
I have not yet hooked up any HPIB devices to the 1000. Boy, I sure wish I
had a 488 interface monitor... Hmmm... I think I know where there's one at
:-)
If anyone has any experience in making HPIB devices work with the HP 1000/E,
I'd sure appreciave any pointers.
>I'll email you some code off-list. If I email you ABS files, will your

I have not tried to download an ABS file via email yet. I had major problems
downloading ABSs from Jeffs site using both Netscape and IE. For some
reason, both those browsers could not handle the files. I thought this was
rather strange because I have downloaded programs and other binary files
without a problem.
I was able to download clean binaries using the OPERA browser. If you have a
small ABS file, send it and I'll see what happens.
Meanwhile... I have been looking at the FST file format and it seems like it
really isn't *that* difficult. I'm gonna spend a little time and see if I
can decode (unarchive) some files into a more usable format.
Looking over the file lists on the INTEREX site, there seems to be a bunch
of really good stuff there if you can decode it. It's a real chicken and egg
situation. If you already have RTE running with the FST archive utility, you
can unarchive the files including RTE and FST. If you don't already have RTE
with the FST utility, your stuck.
I am supprized someone hasn't already written a cross platform decoder for
this. Actually, they probably have... Hmm... Bet it's archived away
somewhere in... FST FORMAT!
Thanks again for the help,
SteveRob

Hi,
I fished out my MV3100 to install openVMS on it (after someone gave me
another hard disk), so I boot it up, and get the following...
KA41-D V1.0
F_..E...D...C...B
KA41-D V1.0
F_..E...D...C...B...A...9...8...7...6...5...4_..3_..2_..1...
? C 0080 0000.4001
? B 0010 0010.0081
?21 CORRPTN
83 BOOT SYS
So I frowned at it, swapped the netbsd for a CD drive, unplugged RX23,
swapped the RZ23 for an IBM scsi hard disk (DPES-31080), and fired up
the openvms install - it rebooted halfway through the install process - I
lost the message it spewed out, so I tried again - same thing in a
different point. Tried again - success.
BUT, if I have the IBM drive and CD drive in, I get
F_..E...D...C...B...A...9...8...7?..6...5...4_..3_..2_..1...
? C 0080 0000.4001
? B 0010 0010.0081
?? 7 80A0 1000.61D0
? 6 80A1 0000.4001
?06 HLT INST
PC = 00000200
?21 CORRPTN
So as you can imagine, I'm a little non-plussed :&/
I'm sure it *was* working fine 6 months ago, and it's been quite happy
running netbsd, or the (slightly broken) VMS 5.4 install on the RZ23.
Only thing I can think of is memory - any other ideas? I've got 16M in
here.

While the offer to scan them was certainly noble, I really wouildn't expect
anyone to actually do it. We're talking about perhaps 10,000 pages of
documents here!

Hi.
I am currently working on a NetBSD driver for the RX01/02 floppy disk
drive. (As an example for a device driver writing HOWTO.) To continue my
kernel hacking when this is finished, I am looking for docs for the
folowing cards:
M7616 KXJ11-CA J11 CPU, 512-Kbyte RAM, 64-Kbyte
PROM
This is a PDP 11 on a QBus slave card, used as universal intelligent
peripheral controller. (Wouldn't it be nice to have a PDP 11
co-processor runing some 2.xBSD in a VAX? ;-) )

Ahh yes, I seem to remember something about 3200bpi on the F880 now
that you mention it. I think several vendors implemented that format
but I don't think it was ever standardized...or at least, not as
widely implemented as 800, 1600, and 6250bpi.

Please, please, please ! I've been out here begging
for just these docs (and disks if they can be had).
I'm working on reviving a 5362 right now. Please reply
off list with whatever persuasion is required to at
least allow me the use of them. I'd be very happy to
scan them all and make them available.

WhooHoo!
After many days of tinkering and frustration, I finally have a HP1000/E
running BASIC. Now if I can just get it to talk to a 9-track tape drive...
Hmmm... Where did I leave that soldering iron ;-)
Many thanks to Bob Shannon for his assistance. I couldn't have done it
without his help.

Rich,
I came across your newgroup message regarding the Sterling Cypher IV board.
It was dated in October 2001. Anyway, I have come across one of these boards
myself. I was wondering if you ever found the plans or instructions of any
kind. If so, I would be happy to pay for a copy.
Sincerely,
Liz Lundgren
For the Genome files: My first computer was a borrowed Cromemco Z2H
system, 16K RAM, two Shugart SA400 drives, GE Terminet 30 console. It was
eventually returned to the owner when I moved, circa 1978.
Second computer was a borrowed Kaypro II, from the rathole computer
store I worked at for six months.. it was a defective warranty return, and
I fixed it and then took it home for 'testing' Ran the usual suite of
Kaypro-bundled stuff atthe time (1983). From the same place I put
together (from various scrap machines) a Morrow MDII system; it remained
with me until my Collection got sold ..snif...snifff...
The first computer I actually paid real money for was (is) a Mac SE30,
that I bought for my music studio, running Performer version 1.9. I paid
$1988.50 for the system with the software in 1986 or 7... anyway the
machine is still a part of the studio equipment, although it now runs
vintage library and MIDI set-up programs for some of my vintage synths...
it's on it's second hard drive, and was the first machine I ever had to be
infected with a virus - the replacement HD came from CMS, and a
disgruntled employee in the QC dept was squirting nVir onto random HDs as
he tested them... it would grab the Mac speaker and say 'Don't Panic..."
at odd intervals.
This list doesn't really get much Spam, even though I hate the shit as
much as anyone... I think the cure must be adjusted to fit the severity of
the offense... we don't discipline jaywalkers with shotguns, and closing
down the list and instituting Bushian draconisms is kind of dumb, IMHO.
The ISP I subscribe to is pretty good about such stuff, and personal
spam to my account tends to come in small waves - two or four a week for a
bit and then none...
I just hit the 'DEL' button, and Pine takes care of the rest. There are
enough folks here who will spank the spammers, much more effectively
than I can (or have the time for), so I'm content to let it be as-is. If
the List were overwhelmed on a daily basis with the usual Usenet XXXPorn -
Warez - MakeMOneyFast - MyDaughterHasCancerSendCashPlease shit, that
would be cause for Action. Right now, I just Delete and move on.

OK all you brains out there. See if you can answer this one. How can I
make PKZIP include ALL the files on a disk INCLUDING those in sub
directories and the sub directories themselves. Easy, you say? Go try it.
The help menu says that -r will make it recurse sub directories and that -p
will make it save the directory names and -P will make it save the sub
directory names even if they're empty. OR it says that you can use
-&s[drive] to copy an entire drive.
Well I've been trying to get either one to work for the last hour and I
haven't had any luck. -$a: ties to create a .ZIP file by the name of -&sa:
but that's illegal so it errors out. -rp, -rP, -Pr and -pr all do that
same thing. It copies all the files including those in the subdirectories
but when you use PKUNZIP all the files are placed in one directory
therefore losing the directory structure and overwritng any files that have
same names but that came from different subdirectories. I've tried this
with MS DOS PKZIP verion 2.04g and with Winzip but I got the same results
with both.
Any ideas about what's wrong?
Joe
