I suspect you're wrong, I've got a couple CD's labeled Solaris 1.[something]
in my collection. I'm pretty sure I've seen 2.4 cd's before.

I once got a "TU58i" Monitor-program in an EPROM that replaces the original
firmware of a TU58, and then should provide the ability to (re)format a TU58 or
DC100 cartridge in a normal TU58 drive. Anybody ever heard of this?
I still should have it somewhere around although I didn't use it myself, so I
have no practical experience of it. But if anyone is interested to experiment
with it, I would try to dig it out one of many boxes in my garage marked with:
"interesting things, sort out some day".

Nope. They did start with SunOS, the last of which being V4.1.4_U1. When
they moved to the Solaris name, SunOS got renamed to Solaris 1.1. The U1
release I have here is Solaris 1.1.2 for SPARC, which _is_ SunOS 4.1.4
with the U1 patch kit. I assume that Solaris 1.1.1 (which I also have,
somewhere) is either SunOS 4.1.3, 4.1.3_U1 or 4.1.4 without the U1 patch.
The first non-SunOS release I believe was V2.3. I have pretty much all
releases of Solaris here, and I seem to start with V2.3, and then up, all
the way to Solaris 8. That's when I stopped doing Sun, soo.. :)
I lost (read: already deleted) the original posting, so.. can whoever
started this thread contact me offlist; we'll get you V2.4 :)

I have a PDP11/83 looking for a good home.
Located in Idaho Falls, Idaho.
PDP-11/83
TSV05 tape drive (and lots of tapes)
TK50 tape drive
DHV11's
RD54
Corporate cabinet (Approx 4' x 4' x 2.5')
plus other stuff.
Too large/heavy to ship cheaply, much better to pick up
if you live close.
Hello, I'm new here, and I've got a problem with an
old Laptop. I just purchased a Toshiba T5200 in a flea
market, which can be seen here...
http://web.ukonline.co.uk/zelandeth/computers/t5200-100/
...and I bought it for $1! A total bargain,
but...unsurprisingly, it's broken...kinda broken. I've
opened it up to determine the cause of what's wrong
with it, as it won't turn on. A little tinkering
later, and, boom, the power supply of the Laptop fries
itself up. Damage looks bad, and it stinks really
bad...a poisonous sort of smell, so I've thrown the
offending power supply to the garbage. Now I have a
laptop...with no power supply. But, is it possible to
buy a replacement power supply for this? Or, is it
even possible to just hook it up to a regular PC's
power supply?

Hi there,
I'm not a member of the list, I found it through a Google search, but I'm trying to find a home for a Xerox 860 IPS that I have. Its been in storage for the last few years in my garage, but as far as I know it works (although I haven't turned it on in a very long time). I have the model with the portrait style screen, and I also have a daisy wheel printer, the system disks, word processing software, and the user manuals. There's even a slew of 8" disks that would go with it as well. I'd rather give this to an enthusiast, rather than just throwing it away. Its really a cool system and I think deserves better than that. I live in Saint Paul, Minnesota, so keep that in mind. This thing is hideously expensive to ship anywhere; it'd have to be picked up.
Thanks,
Let me know if anyone would like this beastie. Also, because I'm not on the list you should respond to my home e-mail rather than to just the list; otherwise, I won't see your response.

"thinkpad caddy" yields some hits. Like this one:

Any recommendation on what to search for? I wouldn't mind trying to find a
second carrier as I'd like to be able to continue to use the drive I have.

I've got a IBM 760CD Thinkpad that I want to try and replace the HD with a
larger one that I have on hand. After looking over the laptop carefully,
and trying to find info on the IBM website I'm left with one important
question. How on earth do I replace a HD on this model?
