ISTR No VMS distro was available on floppy, the only VMS floppies I can remember were boot disks for MicroVMS round V4.x. Also, all 3100s have SCSI as standard, the only differences were the type of SCSI connector that was presented externally. Older machines had the female HD68 connector...... CDs were available for 5.4-2 and above I believe; I'm pretty sure I've got most versions from then upwards. a

HP 9000 800/G40 serial cable

by csmith＠amdocs.com

Hi everybody, I've got a new project. An HP 9000/G40, which may not be (probably is not) 10 years old, but there's little information available on HP's site (that I can find), or any other, and I rescued it from a scrap yard, which may make it on topic anyway. I wonder if anyone can tell me how to get the cable that plugs into the mini-DIN looking port so that I can see the boot messages and talk to it? Also, where can I get information on this machine? (Max memory, number of CPUs, etc...) Thanks, Chris Christopher Smith, Perl Developer Amdocs - Champaign, IL /usr/bin/perl -e ' print((~"\x95\xc4\xe3"^"Just Another Perl Hacker.")."\x08!\n"); '

windowed MC68HSR705J1ACS ?

by uban＠ubanproductions.com

I am looking for a source for a MC68HSR705J1ACS Motorola 20 pin DIP with window (erasable) MC68HC701J1A microprocessor. I have only been able to find the OTP versions, but would like to find an erasable one for development. Does anyone know of a source, or have one (or 2) that you would be willing to sell me? --tnx --tom

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

The PPro is easily the best x86-architecture processor those bozos at Intel have ever released. The PII is a total piece of crap in comparison, in my opinion. If anything, it's the PII that's the bastard child of the PPro! I'm not trying to be argumentative here...and I'm CERTAINLY not defending any of Intel's crappy designs...but I believe the PPro is indeed the best of the bunch, and as such, I suggest that it might be worth another look. -Dave -- Dave McGuire St. Petersburg, FL "Less talk.
