CompuPro Net 100?

by classiccmp＠crash.com

Anybody have a one-line description of the CompuPro Net 100? Was this Ethernet, serial, avian carrier...? Google seems to come up shy on this one, except for an old "for sale" posting to this list. Herb Johnson has docs, but I'm just trying to find out exactly what it did at this point... Thanks, --Steve.

WTB: Codar QTimer II Model 102

by jhfinepw4z＠compsys.to

Does anyone have any of these Qbus boards that I can buy? They have a TOY that has a window of 100 years. Sincerely yours, Jerome Fine -- If you attempted to send a reply and the original e-mail address has been discontinued due a high volume of junk e-mail, then the semi-permanent e-mail address can be obtained by replacing the four characters preceding the 'at' with the four digits of the current year.

Cheap PCBs

by gil＠vauxelectronics.com

Hi Jim: I'll second that vote -- Advanced Circuits (www.4pcb.com) is a great place. I have done many boards there, proto and production. Quotes, and order status, is online 24/7. But I think they only take gerber cad files. Back to the original question: I'm not sure how to do a non-gerber board inexpensively. If the artwork is in a pdf file (or even a tif from a scan), you would need to find a board house that could use it, but none come to mind. To make it yourself, you can print the pdf to lino film and make a board using sensitized board material from kepro, then etching, immersion-tin dip... Sheesh, I did a lot of those years back. Even the best homemade etched board is shitty though. And you can't cut corners on the pricey lino film. Transparencies from an inkjet or laser may look good, but the black is not opaque enough for uv exposure. Board material and chemicals are not cheap either, so it gets pricey, and you still end up with a pretty crappy board. There is some laser printer material that you can print and then iron onto a bare copper board (then etch), but I have never used it. Can't imagine you could reliably use small geometry. But the cost is now just a cheap plain board, the laser material, and some acid. Maybe an aquarium heater to speed up etching. For a one-off board, and if the board is simple and just needs fat traces (this capacitor board may well be), you can also simply get a bare board, drill component/mounting holes, and isolate the "traces" but cutting through the copper appropriately with a dremel or xacto. You can even use double-sided material and isolate the upper ground plane with a small countersink at the component holes. I have also found a that a roll of adhesive copper tape can be very handy in times like this. gil >From: "Jim Kearney" <jim(a)jkearney.com> >To: <cctalk(a)classiccmp.org> >Subject: Re: Cheap PCBs >Date: Wed, 20 Nov 2002 18:32:55 -0500 >Reply-To: cctalk(a)classiccmp.org > > >For only a few dollars more, you can get more boards with solder mask and >silkscreen. www.4pcb.com will do boards up to 150 sq inches for $33 ea in >quantity 3 and up, including mask and legend. www.e-teknet.com does qty 4 >up to 55 sq inches with mask and legend for only $22.99 each.

by bernd＠kopriva.de

After a long with HP i lost ... ... they are not able to give me any operating system for my HP9000/382. They told me, that they won't support that machine anymore, and they don't have any installation media ... ... they told me, that i've to look "elsewhere" :-( ... so i'm asking here, if there is anyone out, who will share a copy ...

HVD SCSI

by healyzh＠aracnet.com

I'm trying to find some info on HVD SCSI. I know for Terminators I need HVD SCSI Terminators, but what about cables. Will any old 68-pin SCSI cable do, or do I need special cables? Also, does anyone have any favorite vendors that sell this sort of thing? Zane

Recent VAX Adventures (Long)

by gil＠vauxelectronics.com

What is this "hobbyist program" and "licensing" that is being mentioned? Is HP controlling use of old DEC stuff or something? thanks, gil >Message: 11 >Date: Wed, 20 Nov 2002 12:00:14 -0600 >From: Jeffrey Sharp <jss(a)subatomix.com> >To: cctalk(a)classiccmp.org >Subject: Re: Recent VAX Adventures (Long) >Reply-To: cctalk(a)classiccmp.org > >On Wednesday, November 20, 2002, Antonio Carlini wrote: >> If these are original DEC media tapes (rather than people's data) it might >> be possible to persuade him not to erase them, since the hobbyist program >> allows you to use them.

Altair32 Emulator

by RCini＠congressfinancial.com

John: The way the telnet server within the Altair32 works is that it's activated upon the "first" access of a CPU I/O port by a running program. So, for example, if you are running a program that doesn't interact with any of the console I/O ports (0/1, 20/21 octal), the telnet server will not be activated and any telnet client will bomb out, complaining that no server is found. So, the sequence I use is to run HyperTerm and "disconnect" from the telnet port (UDP port 23 by the way -- the standard telnet port). Then, I run the emulator, attach disks and "boot" CP/M. I run ZoneAlarm, so I get a notification that a telnet server is starting (with a TCP address of 127.0.0.1), so I allow the access then "connect" HyperTerm. If you don't run ZoneAlarm, you just have to guess the timing when connecting. When booting CP/M, it's no more than a few seconds. If you look at the front panel address LEDs, you can "see" that it drops into an idle loop (the address LEDs appear to only reference a tight range of addresses). This is the signal that the CBIOS is waiting for a "live" connection. If you prefer, you can use the built-in Windows Console. That doesn't have the same connection problems as telnet. With telnet, however, you should be able to reach your Altair across a subnet (although I've never tried it). The disks are full with stuff, and there certainly should be more than 2-3 files. The CP/M 2.2 disk probably has 25 files on it. Rich
