Hello, does anybody out there have the docs available for the TSU05 controller board used in PDP-11s or VAXes with UNIBUS to connect to the DEC variant TS05 of the Cipher F880? The board is M7455, and I am looking for the meanings of the DIP switches. There must be CSR address and interrupt vector, each made up by several individual switches, but in addition to that, an "extended features" switch and one for "buffering". Thanks in advance!

Any interest in "Uptime: The Disk Monthly" diskettes?

by dan＠ekoan.com

Hello, While looking for 3.5" 720K discs to format on a HP-150 that I bought (yes, I sometimes actually pay money for classic computers, especially if they're Hewlett-Packard) from Bill Sudbrink, I came across a set of diskettes labelled Uptime: The Disk Monthly Volume 2 Number 1, for instance, is copyright 1986 by Viking Technologies out of Newport, Rhode Island, and has the following table of contents: Loan Calculator, Seasoned Clip Art, Stepping Out Demo, TermWorks, 3D TicTacToe, Hacker Interview, Biorhythm, Gone Fishin' DA, Little Black Book DA and Preview. I've got at least five diskettes with pre-printed labels, another half dozen with typewritten labels (e.g. "Uptime 2.8") and one labeled "The Best of Uptime, Brought to you by Macworld". Is there any interest or reason to save these, or can I go ahead and reformat them without fear of losing something someone on this list might want? Cheers, Dan www.decodesystems.com

Need manual URL/hardcopy for HP Netserver LX Pro 6/200 server

by out2sea00＠yahoo.com

Russ -- Let me know if you need any other resources for this system. We're still using this model -- after four years of co-habitation, I couldn't know them much better. We have four or five of these, and one ultra-rare LXr-Pro8. I get around to doing a fresh build on them every 4 months or so. That's because they're part of our benchmarking equipment pool. So they get reconfigured very regularly. The performance engineering folks (myself included) use them. And they certainly do perform well, even if they are bordering on classic status. I understand you have a source for manuals already. So anything else you need, please let me know. One word of advice. I'd leave the RAM in. It's the RAM that keeps them running like much newer equipment, since there aren't that many applications that'll peg a quad, even an old one, they'll run best with everything resident in main. Second piece of advice, put a better video card in. There's an embedded one -- but it's a flicker-fest at anything higher than 800x600.

Microdata "Microprogramming Handbook"

by vze2mnvr＠verizon.net

Hello Pat, If you read these links, it gives other "perspectives" on the issue of sniping. I guess you don't like sniping, because you would like to get the best price you could for your items. This we do respect. http://www.geocities.com/phillipcreed/myths.html http://www.geocities.com/phillipcreed/ http://members.ebay.com/aboutme/supersniper/ But the ones who complain that they didn't win an item because someone sniped them, we have no respect for what so ever. No one ever lost an item because someone out bid them. They lost the item because they didn't bid the high bid utilizing the "proxy" bidding system. Period. These are people that want to blame others for their own failures which they themselves brought about. They seem to act like the world owes them something, when in reality, their failure is brought on because they are too cheap and selfish. They want what other people have, but are unwilling to give much of themselves to get it. A note to all. You'll win whatever item you bid on, if you put in the high bid while the auction is running, regardless of when that bid is placed. As for the ones that complain about prices of goods being sold on eBay as being so high, these people have been deemed unsuitable for employment in our organization for being too ignorant of commerce and economics. It's indicative of serious flaws in personality, attitude, and intelligence. Generally things on eBay often sell for a third to an eighth ( and sometimes even 1/25 ) of what they are actually worth, and we have hard data to prove that fact. So any that end up out of work, just know, we'll learn more about what you're really like by reading the messages you've posted, than we'd ever learn in an interview. And we do research prospective applicants in this manner. Thanks Google.

Apparently related to the Fortune stuff. {1} Software Documentation in box which should, but doesn't, contain 5.25" disks {2} P&ID floppy with printed or typed label. Label is identical to the Fortune Systems floppies except for the logo. {3} These are BASF floppies with handwritten labels Unless otherwise noted, all floppies appear to be the "official" distribution, with the Fortune Systems logo on the label. Floppies are NOT in great shape, mostly distorted and warped from heat or moisture. I'm guessing they're probably readable, about *once*. I'm selling/trading ALL this as-is. I don't have a 32:16 system unit (everything but...), so it's all untested. ***** Just so there are no misconceptions or misrepresentations, I am NOT a charitable organization. I spend a crapload of time and money on this hobby, and anytime I can make it turn a profit, I will leap for joy. ***** Doc
