Do you have any pictures of this telecompaq? I have a chance to buy one and
was wondering what it looked like. What is it, 286, 386, 8088 or something
else? Thanks for any help!

Ok, Here's what I am doing for backup to DC tape drive..
~500 mb per tape:
tar -cvf /dev/st0 -L 500000 /root /etc (... mention many directories)
is this correct for backup or do I need any other flags?
How do I do an incremental?
(This is assuming that I am using a "Classic" system running
unix...)
How do I recover a file?
Thanks.

I've only seen one brand of Cat5e with pairs bonded. Almost all the Cat5e
I've worked with is very easy to untwist. "Cat6" is usually bonded,
though.

There are three standards for that, TIA 568A, TIA 568B, and USOC.

Not quite. It's white-with-colour then plain colour (or colour with a thin
white stripe or rings), and the common order in Europe is T568B (aka 258A):
white/orange pin 1
orange
white/green
blue
white/blue
green
white/brown
brown pin 8
I believe the common order in the States is to swap orange and green pairs,
which is T568A. If you use one scheme at one end and the other scheme at
the opposite end, you have a standard Ethernet crossover cable. ie, pins 1
and 2 are swapped with pins 3 and 6 but pins 4+5 and 7+8 are
straight-through.

Almost. You need to keep the pairs as pairs, on pins 1/2, 3/6, 4/5, and
7/8.

Commands such as FORMAT, DISKCOPY and DISKCOMP ignore drive reassignments.
Perhaps the MS install program did something similar to these commands.

The INSTALL program of MS-DOS 6.00 would NOT work with an ASSIGNed drive!
Thought it would be interesting to do a Windows screen driver for the HP

Interesting request... planning on writing any
real-mode Windows drivers?

I've got the scanner and adapter box for the Macintosh Thunderscan that
I no longer want. $5.00 including Priority Mail shipping in the US (they
include the box :)!) Email me if interested.
Hello, all:
Does anyone have the Windows 3.1 DDK (device driver deveopment kit)?
I'm looking for it to do some spleunking of Win3.1 kernel code. I already
have the SDK, but I need the DDK.
Thanks.

Does anyone have a line on old office chairs with FOUR
legs instead of the fscking OSHA-mandated FIVE legs?
It is impossible to roll around in one of these
without, when you roll back forward, having a
single leg protruding such that it hits *anything*
that might be in the way, like a table leg...
grrr...
