What exactly would I use a DRV11-J card for? I'm thinking of selling it
since it seems to bring fairly decent prices on the 'net, but I want to make
sure I wouldn't actually NEED the thing before I sell it.
Thanks!
Nathan

I need to find a good email/web hosting service. Yes, this is on-topic.
Right now, subatomix.com (my mail server) is a machine in my house,
connected via residential cable modem service. This has some cool factor
for me, but there are disadvantages:
(0) The system has to up and stable 24/7; I can't play with it in ways
that might interrupt that.
(1) The cable modem connection goes down every now and then, sometimes for
several hours.
(2) I'm not too knowledgeable at mail administration; there's a good
probability that this machine is not as secure as it could be.
On top of that stuff, a credible source inside the cable company says that
I will be eventually switched over from RoadRunner to the cable company's
own network. According to the source, areas where the switches are
occurring (mostly those served by @Home, but RoadRunner is next) are
experiencing repeated, prolonged outages.
So I need list members' recommendations on a good email/web hosting
service. If you work for such a service, feel free to suggest it if it is
a good service. What I want is:
(0) Email hosting for 5 addresses at subatomix.com. It needs to handle
several hundred emails per day (peak) and the occasional large file mailed
to me.
(1) Web hosting for my as-yet-unfinished personal web site. The largest
part of the site will be an exposition of my collection like that of many
others here. I plan on having a lot of pictures, and the service needs
the capacity to hold them. (See it *is* on-topic).
(2) Encrypted communications, or at least my passwords not sent over the
network in cleartext.
(3) The servers running some UNIX and administered by competent people.
(4) A flat fee.
(5) If I use their DNS servers, the ability to point foo.subatomix.com to
a certain IP address.

Not first hand, but I have a book called "Microcomputer Board Data Manual",
edited by Dave Bursky, from "Electronic Design", pub. Hayden 1978. It
lists one Mostek product, the OEM-80, about which the summary says:
Word size: 8-bit data / 16-bit address
CPU: MK3880
Clock freq min 0.005MHz / max 2.5MHz
Total addressable memory 64K
Amount of RAM on card 4K provided / 64K possible
Amount of ROM on card 0K provided / 25K possible
DMA capable: yes
Bus type : proprietary
Parallel I/O pins: 40
Serial I/O ports: 1
Max baud rate: 9600
Interrupt provisions: [none]
Multiprocessing capablitly: yes
Counter/timers: 4 (16 bits/timer)
Software: assembler, debugging, HLL, OS
Supply voltages: +5V, +/- 12V
Board sixe: 12"x 8.5"
Comments: Same as Z-80 CPU. ROM and RAM address mapping. OEM-80: No ROM
supplied. Available as a complete ROM-based prototype package. European
card: 233 x 250mm.
The chapter (well, one page plus a 1-page diagram) in the body of the book
says the SDB-80 is the version with the firmware, and there are some other
cards as well, including floppy controller, more RAM, PROM programmer, CRT
interface, card cage, etc. The OEM-80 cost $430 in 100+ quantities.

I have one spoken for, in Champaign, IL. That might be out of your
way from (or to) Chicago, though. I'm not sure.

Then how come my NeXT slab came with CDs labelled "OpenStep 4.2 for
NeXT, User Disk", "OpenStep 4.2 for NeXT, Developer", and and NeXT boot
floppy? :-)

Are you suggesting that the embassy is staffed by a bunch of

I could use an R key for a LA-36 (Decwrite II)! Long story involving wife
and an errant vacuum. (But honey.... It was soooooo dusty!)

I need a Shugart 851 8" floppy drive manual. Does anyone have one that
hey'll loan me or make a copy of it for me? Or does anyone have a pointer
to an on-line copy?
I have a bunch of 851 drives and I need to see how to configure them to
use in place of Shugart 800 drives.

Well, if you take the graphical subsystem, make it run on top of X11,
and ad a little more of NeXT to it, then you would get OpenStep. :)
