RK Stuff (was: Symbolics rescue)

The power distribution in 11/20's is though paddle cards that plug into the slots, instead of using AMP connectors underneath, so it will take some harness mods to use an RK11-D in it.

Suggestions for hauling Computer Garage from Beaverton, OR to , Yates Cen...

by Innfogra＠aol.com

Besides shrinkwrap, which is excellent for holding doors closed and drives in cabinets, I would recommend that one buy a large roll of large bubble wrap at Carton Services on 33XX Front Street in Portland. 2 foot wide by 250 feet, perfed on 1 foot, is $56.00. 4'X250' is about $85. I like perfed because it is easy to rip off the length you want. Great protection for monitors. I have no interest in the company. I use it because I like it and it gets equipment to their destination. Beaverton is close to Portland. Also use cardboard panels between cabinets, saves the paint. I bet with careful shopping one could buy a truck in Oregon and sell it for more in Kansas. Oregon is economically distressed at the moment and I think you could find a cheap truck. You would want to find out what is in demand in Kansas first. It would be a lot more work. I know people who have done this for moves. It works. Boy, how far OT can I get. Paxton

Suggestions for hauling Computer Garage from Beaverton, OR to Yates Cente...

by Innfogra＠aol.com

Well, some of that stuff came from me, now it is moving across country. I suggest renting a 24' or 28' truck from a Farmer in Kansas. Or you might find one from an independent used truck dealer. Look for a cheap truck rental that doesn't go by mileage but weekly or monthly rates. Offer a farmer a lump sum. Ryder has two rates usually. One with a high daily charge and a low mileage rate, the other with a low daily rate and high mileage costs. Commercial accounts can be cheaper and they do issue discount coupons sometimes. At least the one in Portland, OR has. I have negotiated long distance rates PDX-LAX and back with Budget. We asked for a discount because of the high mileage the trip entailed and got one. I think this is up to the individual agencies though. If Jim has enough to fill a 24 foot truck then it will not fit in a trailer. If you have to rent a truck that has to go back, rent one in Kansas. One ways are considerably more expensive. Look for a company that has an imbalance of trucks in one place that matches your trip. Then you can negotiate a special rate. Good luck Jim and those helping. Paxton Astoria, OR

MOP booting RT-11

by mbg＠TheWorld.com

> Is it possible to boot RT-11 on an 11/23 via MOP? If so, can it >be done over ethernet or does it have to be a serial line? How would >loading drivers and program execution work? Network booting requires some knowledge of the network boot process by the OS you are trying to boot. RT has no knowledge of network booting, so although you may be able to download a primary boot image, there are no network device drivers (RT handlers) which have any code which could then load the secondary and tertiary bootstrap. I'm sure it could be made possible with a suitable development effort.

Xyplex, Raylan ?'s

by rschaefe＠gcfn.org

Hi! Does anyone have any info/manual/docs for a Raylan fiber concentrator w/ SNMP card? I have a nice chassis full of 10bFL cards, including the SNMP card, but I don't have any docs for it. Some of the revisions of fiber cards (as well as some AUI ports) have a jumper labled `RAYLAN MODE' and `IBM MODE', or sometimes `A' and `B'. I'd kind of like to know what it does. Also, the SNMP card has an IP set, which of course doens't fit into my network all that well, I'd like to chage it if I could. I had a few hits googling when I first received it, but that was all just people complaining that the 10b2 ports were unreliable. :( I'm also looking for someone who's had a lot of experience with Xyplex 1600 terminal servers, or even still has one in service. I've got one with the memory expansion, but no flash card to boot it from. I have what is supposed to be the latest firmware, but I can't seem to get it to boot properly. The image is tftp'd, and then the box seems to reboot again-- starts the self test over, and fetches the image again. This too has someone's old config set on it, which might be part of the problem.
