Thanks. Do it exist some available copy of some operative OS for the HP2100 (in form of PaperTape, Virtual Disk or so) ?

I'm pretty sure that there is a Sun screwup in the Ultra1 boot ROM such that "probe-scsi" doesn't work right when "auto-boot" is enabled. auto-boot?=false carl -- carl lowenstein marine physical lab u.c. san diego clowenstein(a)ucsd.edu

WTD: Datasheets for PMC Sierra modem chips

by philpem＠bigfoot.com

Hi, I've just been going through a load of old boards that I had occupying space and I'd like to put some of the components to good use. I've already located datasheets for a Motorola DSP56001FE27 digital signal processor I found (time to build an MP3 player!), but a few of the parts have turned up dead ends for data. The parts in question are Sierra Semiconductor (now PMC-Sierra) SC11011CV/ADA, SC11026CN and SC22201CN chips, used on what appears to be an old modem. I've had a look on FreeTradeZone (free? not bloody likely) and the datasheets have been locked (the chips are obsolete). Anyone got PDFs (or paper copies) of these datasheets? I'd like to get these chips doing something (other than taking up valuable space), but it's a bit diffiicult without the datasheets! Thanks. -- Phil. philpem(a)bigfoot.com http://www.philpem.btinternet.co.uk/

Some new finds and Some Wanted Items

>Thanks but I already have 2 LC550's in the collection. These 34 or so >are the one's I really need to make it complete. It started out as 103 >models but now because models I didn't know about but have picked over >the years it may end up over 150 different models. I will print the >list once the collection is done. Thanks for the offer. You are being a little more religious than I. I just want one of every major model (so Performa 475, LC 475 or Quadra 605, doesn't matter to me, since they are all the same model... also I'm not going after getting a 475,476,478 or other submodels). I am sure once I get one of every major model, I will then probably follow in your footsteps and try to get one of everything out there. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

Calling all VAX 11/750 owners

by meltie＠myrealbox.com

Hello all, if you've got a VAX 11/750 in running order, please could you contact me directly (I want piccies of specific bits of your VAX to help me getting mine running.) I've been through all the docs and bits I received with the VAX, and i've got a big box of TU58 tapes, ranging from VMS install 3.1 to 5.2, VAX Fortran, and a few tapes marked TU58 Demo, or some weird filesystem names (i'll remember them later), or "Property of DEC". I've also found a board marked "Property of DEC, Do not Remove", and discovered how hard it is to fit two- and four-finger cards into a six-finger backplane.

> -----Original Message----- > From: Fred Cisin (XenoSoft) [mailto:cisin@xenosoft.com] > Did he also think that the 68000 was a copy of the 8086? I didn't ask, but probably. I imagine every chip is a copy of the Pentium, in fact. How would MS-DOS run otherwise? We all know that even the Great Bill Gates wasn't able to make his Wonderful Windows Operating System function without MS-DOS, so it must certainly be impossible for anyone else. ;) Those ENIAC guys are just lucky that Bill Gates was around to give them a copy of MS-DOS when they needed it! No, I'm not exaggerating; yes, I did say he was a "programmer."
