Hello,
I'm selling some extra Qbus cards on Ebay. I know some of you here
don't really like Ebay, but hopefully it'll allow me to recoup some
money that I've spent unwisely on various computers/parts. Parts that
I've never used, weren't what I though they were, etc. For those of you
that do use Ebay, please check my auction out.

I've *got* to stop answering mail in the dead of night . . .
For the record: ZX81s shipped with either a pair of 2114s (1K x 4) or a
single 4118 (1K x 8) -- NOT 4116. The schematic states that the PCB would
also accept a single 4816 (2K x 8). The TS1000s I have at hand contain a
single 2016 (2K x 8).
My apologies for the errors.

I need some help with this one from the 'experts'. I know that this is
the adaptor (one of two) from an IBM 3480 A22 controller that connected
the device to its host system. I *think* that it's an ESCON adaptor, but
want some verification on that. Also, does anyone have any interest in
these? If not, one might make it into my 'museum', but the fate of the
other is uncertain. If you have a desire for either or both of these,
contact me off list.
(Yeah, the 'connector' at the top of the pic is aparently the bus
terminator. And no, I don't need the screw-driver handle identified, I
know what that is ;^)

I'll keep an eye on that group... thanks

Stan, I would really appreciate it if you would share this solution with
me, assuming you still have the code.
Thanks,

For the most part, Sun was relatively consistent about their
numbering schemes. Here's how they work:
For model names of the form "Sun-X/YZ0":
X = architecture...2, 3 or 4, 2=68010, 3=68020 or 68030; 4=SPARC
Y = processor...1, 2, or 4 for Sun-3; 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 for SPARC
Z = VME chassis type...1 or 4 for 3-slot; 5 for 6-slot, 6 for 12-slot
deskside, 7 for newer purple 12-slot
deskside, 8 for 12-slot rackmount,
9 for newer 16-slot rackmount
There are some departures from this numbering scheme (3/110 for
example) but it is mostly consistent. Not all combinations were sold
by Sun, but most could be built. With the exception of the Sun-2 VME
P2 bussing, the VME buses are compatible between all processor and
chassis types.

1) Ok, here are the two things I was considering doing to change the mailing
list settings....
A) Reject posts to the list which contain any kind of HTML content. I think
this would be fairly unobtrusive - most people don't want HTML posts here
anyways. And - I would bet that most all SPAM contains some form of HTML, so
this might not get rid of all SPAM forever, but I think it would make the
very few that come here dwindle to even less. Comments?
B) I also like the 'self-policing' idea of making posts to the list from
non-subscribers get a subject tag of [OL] or something like that. This one I
am not sure how to do off the top of my head, but would think it pretty
straightforward. Comments?
2) WRT the archives at www.classiccmp.org THAT is a project I have fallen
far behind in. When I moved the list from the old ISP to the new ISP (me in
both cases, long story)... something broke in getting emails from the list
to the archive mechanism. I noticed this maybe a month ago, and when I
started digging into it I realized it was time for a change - the archives
there are not searchable and that just isn't acceptable. So - I have been
looking for software to HTML'ize the mailing list that allows searching as
well. I really need suggestions here as my initial searches came up less
than satisfactory. The archives are currently using hypermail. My criteria
is something that is FreeBSD and Sendmail friendly, and allows searching the
archives OR viewing them by thread. I don't mind if the emails need to get
stored in a database, but if they do, mysql must be the database used (picky
aren't I). The only package I found had statements all over it to the effect
that "this package will no longer be supported by the author". I did notice
the list archives for netsaint that are stored at sourceforge look REALLY
nice, and do allow searching, but didn't see a good way to follow threads. I
would greatly appreciate it if anyone can point me to mail list archives
that work well (for the user) and look nice (or to software for unix that
does the same). Please send these suggestions to me off-list at
jwest(a)classiccmp.org
3) This isn't really important - just random "what if" thinking out loud - I
was considering moving the mailing list and mail list archives off to a
separate machine that does nothing but classiccmp. This is being considered
for logistics reasons, not for horsepower/load reasons. I have all the
spare components (cpu, memory, drives, etc) but no spare rackmount chassis.
I can just order a rackmount chassis under my company which I'm perfectly
willing to do, but was wondering if anyone had a rackmount chassis just
laying around that they didn't need and would donate to the cause. The key
criteria - EIA units (space!). I would strongly prefer a 1U (1 EIA unit, or
1.75 inches) tall unit. We charge on rackspace by the inch, so I want the
machine to take as little space as possible so I can obviously sell the
rackspace to other paying customers. I would consider a 2U (2.5 inches) tall
unit (which I already have spare) as a fall-back plan, but definitely
nothing taller than that. Anyone have a spare laying around? If so, please
contact me OFF LIST at jwest(a)classiccmp.org

Does anyone know where there are some archives of Apple's A/UX OS and
some of its software (like AppleShare Server Pro, and Retrospect 2.0Ci).
I just acquired an Apple Workgroup Server 95 (which is actually 9 years
old, so its ALMOST on topic), and since it originally was designed to use
A/UX, I figured it would be a good system to play with it on.
I'm just not sure where to get a copy, so I figured I would start by
asking here, since I know A/UX has been brought up before (heck, maybe I
will get lucky, and one of you has the original software that came with
the WGS 95, and would be willing to send me a copy).
TIA
