I'm looking for PC docs & drivers for old tape drives. I already have
everything I need for Colorado tape drives, so I'm looking for older, more
obscure stuff from the 80s. If anyone's got ANYTHING like this, for any
type of tape drive (QIC, digital cassette, whatever) please let me know.

Hello, all:
Well, my latest spare-hardware-using project (while I'm waiting for
parts for other projects to come) is an MP3 server. But I'm torn as to what
OS to use. I was going to use NT Server with Internet Information Server so
that I could serve up a dynamic clickable catalog. The I thought that I'd
just make a simple shared drive and use Media Player to create and manage
playlists. Then I thought maybe this would be perfect for Linux with Samba
and Apache.
So, here's the question...if you were setting-up a networked MP3
player in your house, how would you do it? hardware's not the question --
just software.

Over at Purdue Salvage, they have an RS/6000 Model 7013 'space heater'
sized system. On the front it says 'Power Server 560(590?)' Any ideas on
value, and is anyone interested?

It doesn't work but it doesn't do any harm :-) On another occasion, I
tried the converse: RJ45 patch from hub to transceiver, and 10base2 coax on
the other side. To no-one's surprise, it don't work either. To redeem my
reputation (if I ever had one) I should point out that the only reason I
tried it was that the unit I had wasn't labelled and no-one knew what it
was at the time.

Doesn't look like much classic hardware in this, but there are lots of
nice new systems (Sun Enterprise, Compaq servers, Cisco). This is
taking place in London.

After aggravation with modem connects early in the morning (around 4 or 5am),
I was wondering: it seems like the connections are somehow poorer at that
time -- are the lines lower-quality at off-peak hours?

That sounds like the Farallon transceivers. They had an AAUI to RJ45
cable, and then a box that plugged into that RJ45 end. The box would then
go to whatever port type you were using.
So yes... that cable should go to the box's RJ45 port (which should be
labled as Computer, with the 10b-2 side labeled as Network... at least
the 10b-T ones I have are labeled that way)
I have always wanted to just plug that AAUI to RJ45 cable into a hub and
see if it works without the box... but I have never been willing to risk
frying something.

Well, if you're concerned about capacity, you might consider
running multiple lines and doing some kind of channel binding.
If you're concerned that the copper may not last well outdoors,
well, that won't help. :) 10-Base-2 or 10-Base-5, though, can be
very weatherproof.
You could see if you can dig up a bunch of ricochet modems, and get
the connections between the buildings to be made that way. No cable
at all. (been meaning to dig some up for home use, myself)
