'Cos they're usually hardened and a dental burr will make little or no
impression on it. A cutting disk works, though, when there's room to get
at the screw head. It's easier to buy the right tool bit, though.
And they're usually so tight that epoxy will give way before you turn it.

Well...maybe. The SMP support in NetBSD is still pretty new, and still
lives in an "experimental" CVS branch. While the latest snapshot kernel
seems pretty reliable (./build.sh -j 2 works at least twice in a row :-),
it's probably not a good thing for production use just yet. YMMV.
Other than that, NetBSD is awfully useful.

I've found what I _think_ is the proper cable for this machine. These bits of info were buried somewhere in the HP web site. I unfortunately don't have the attributions (you can find them right now with a google search), but the general idea is:
-------------------
The HP part number for the cable is A1703-63003 and the price is $43 US dollars.
This info was found at
http://outfield.external.hp.com/cgi-bin/spi/main.pl
which is the home page for HP partsurfer, an application that allows toy to
identify and order parts for many HP machines.
--------------------
Pinout for standard console _cable_ (A1703-63003) is:
DIN CONNECTOR
FRONT VIEW
DIN 25pin
2__1 3.____.2
4____3
6||5 4.____.3
^
| 1.____.7
KEY
---------------------
These were both posted in reply to a question about a different machine -- "F" class I think -- but I have checked HP's "partsurfer" site, and the cable is, indeed, used on the "G" class as well.
I have contacted two resellers to see whether I can get it at a reasonable (read: not $46) price. Otherwise I will try to build it.

Chris

Dear Microscopist:
Every once in awhile a new product comes along
in the world of microscopy that is truly worthy
of 'sounding the horn'. We believe this is one
of those times so......here it is.... our new
"Eyepiece Video Camera"! It is the very first
video camera designed especially to be used on
your microscope's binocular. How about that?
Now, among us microscope nerds that IS exciting
news.
About the size of a microscope eyepiece, this
ingenious analog camera is easily put into use
by removing an eyepiece from your
microscope and replacing it with the camera. It
is truly as easy as that. It is no longer an
absolute must for you to have a "trinocular"
microscope to perform video microscopy so this
camera will work on any monocular, binocular, or
even a trinocular microscope. Now you can see
your microscopic images on any tv or, capture
and store images on any computer with an
additional capture board (a must for emailing
images).
Eyepiece Video Camera
http://www.tscmicroscopes.com
How much would a camera that offers this much
convenience and capability cost you are
undoubtedly asking? And the
answer is.....only $245 plus s/h/ins. If you
plan
on capturing images to your computer you will
need a video capture board. We have one
available with software for $99.50. (You
might want to check your computer to see if you
already have one because many of the new
computers sold today already have them
installed.) Both items can be ordered on-line
right on
our site or by calling our office.
Name Brand Used Microscopes
http://www.tscmicroscopes.com
In addition we have an abundance of name brand
used microscopes like Zeiss, Leitz, Leica,
Olympus, and Nikon. We also have used
objectives, eyepieces, cameras, and many
other microscope accessories for many name
brand scopes so please email us or call our
office for that 'hard to find' item - we just
might have what you have been looking for!
Please take a few moments to visit our site for
more information and to register for our Free
Microscope Drawing (no purchase required) and to
receive information on our latest and greatest
products like name brand 'used microscopes'. We
are
committed to providing you the latest products
available for online purchase, and as always,
outstanding personal service. If you have any
questions about our new product offering, please
do not hesitate to contact us.

Dear Sir
I also have a minifon unfortunately in bits. I would like to restore it and
am trying to obtain as much info. on it as possible. I wondered weather you
might be able to help.
I also have a 1942 Armour research recorder which I have just finished the
restoration. It has a wire reel with some interesting recordings on
it.Unfortunatly also a few breaks and I have not yet found a way of splicing
wire! I can see why they went to tape.
Hope to hear from you.
Yours sincerely
John Penna

Check that you have no other DELQA/DEQNA in there.
Otherwise you need to flick a switch.
There's a DEQNA manual at:
http://208.190.133.201/decimages/moremanuals.htm
and I've seen a DELQA manual somehwere too...

What like OpenVMS V7.2 :-)
If you want to use IP you'll need
a suitable version of UCX (or a 3rd party
equivalent). Either you have one already
or it will be tough to get one these days.
My recollection is that in those days
(pre-LMF) you needed a licence key tape
to enable DECnet for any off-node use.

It has been a long time, but if I recall correctly, B&H dealt mostly with
schools and businesses, so you probably have some kind of A/V kit on there -
2 composite bnc outputs to run 2 monitors.

In The Beginning there was nothing, which exploded - Yeah right...
Calculating in binary code is as easy as 01,10,11.
Hi everybody.
I've rescued a Bell & Howell Apple IIe (black, of course) just yesterday.
Can anyone tell me anything about what these things were used for, what I can expect to
find in the machine, etc, etc?
I haven't even cleaned off the dust yet, but I vaguely recall that these were sold for
some specific purpose. If so, what were they for?

Ok. I am looking for two VAX parts. The first is a second set of CPU
boards for my VAX 8700 (to make it an 8800). The second is a DWBUA
boardset with UNIBUS cardcage. This thing is a UNIBUS bridge card for a
BI system, and a UNIBUS cardcage. Thanks.
Peace... Sridhar
