has SIX printheads in it!
Six printheads?!? Good grief Joe, how, where, & why do you come up with
all this stuff? And how on earth do you find the time to play with the
stuff once you have it? I still haven't found the time to check out all
the stuff you gave me six months ago . . . really, how do you do it?

I have had no problem using Data tapes in my HI8 camcorder. They are the
equivalent to regular 8 mm tapes and give me 240 lines of resolution, not the
400 lines of high 8 resolution.
Mechanically I have had no problems either.

This hex-width board was found sitting in a UNIBUS backplane. It looks like
it may have more than two PCB layers. The metal handle, where the board
number is usually stamped, is unmarked; no board number is stamped there. On
the front side, top left, is "AD413A MADE IN USA". The top middle had the
"200415-03" handwritten on it, but that has been crossed out by a marker,
and "200850-02" appears beneath it. The top right has "S/N 5781"
handwritten. There are two 50-pin BERG (maybe formatted Pertec) connectors
at the front top. On the back of the board, at the top right, is "MRX42
200255-02", machine printed. A little to the left of that is "3183",
handwritten.
Google has returned nothing. What have I here?

Hello, all:
In mid-April I'm visiting one of my company's branch offices in
Pasadena, CA . I'll only be there for a few days, but I'd like
recommendations as to nearby "computing" things to see. I already booked a
tour of the JPL (not classic but interesting enough :-)).
Any thoughts?

I've got what I was told is a BigBoard. Can someone check
out the picture at:

and see if you recognize it?
Thanks.

Hey, as far as I'm concerned, it isn't BASIC unless it's
BASIC-PLUS running under RSTS/e.
Sorry, you guys resurrected and old (and very fond)
memory . . .

As an aside to the current VMS discussion, does anyone know
of an equivalent to the Unix "su -" command for VMS?
Basically I'd like to be able to use my "normal" AL account
for messing about with but occasionally "su" to SYSTEM to get
at a protected file or directory. All the FAQs and manual pages
I've come across so far point to SPAWNing a new process and then
changing the privileges (eg SET PROC/PRIV=SYSPRV), which defeats
the object of the exercise since the "AL" account needs system
privileges in order to do the SET PROC/PRIV in the first place :-)
At the moment I'm using an ST running UNITERM hooked up to a
3100/30's console port so I'm stuck with just the one login session
at a time - occasionally I'd like to be able to flip over to SYSTEM
without having to mess about with logging out of AL and into SYSTEM
and back :-) Any ideas?
Cheers
Al.

I'd agree though it made it possible to run the sources on a Z80 S100 crate,
a trs-80 and an apple and moveing the code around was done with a
simple serial utility (lack of common disk format!).
The best platform other than the microengine was PDP-11, The z80
wasn't too bad (comparable to Cbasic).

I picked up one of these today from Purdue Salvage. Anyone have any
useful software for it? I might be willing to sell it if anyone's
interested. I was kinda disappointed... out of 6 or so Apple IIe's they
got in, not one had an expansion card besides DiskII, the Z-Card and a
printer interface. Still looking for a SuperSerial card so I can copy
data to it (and a copy of Disk Tools on 5-1/5" floppies for it)
