DELQA/DEQNA Cab Kits question

by healyzh＠aracnet.com

> They are? I'm pretty sure I used a DEQNA cabinet kit with a > DELQA on a MVII for years. It would also help explain why I've got 2 DELQA's without cab kits, and an extra DEQNA Cab Kit. On a positive note, the VAXstation II/RC I stole the DEQNA from needs a DELQA if I ever get it running and the PDP-11/23+ can make do with a DEQNA. Zane

You may have a chance with that too -- I've heard that it would boot OS/2, but that's second hand information.

TTL computing

I may go to using smaller chips like the XC-9572 >(72 macro cells) ? $12 canadian. They don't make wire wrap PLCC sockets What prom are you looking for? I'm still playing with some 2064s and 3030s and 3050s, yes they are old but the tools were free, the parts cheap and easy to load up with a 2816/64. Allison

More 11/750 PSU Qs

by Antonio.Carlini＠riverstonenet.com

>> I was wondering if any of you know of a good power supply rebuilders in >> the UK? > >Never needed one ;-) I hear the sound of a volunteer :-) >> order a new industrial PSU to supply these voltages/currents (plus > >Well, I'd rather keep the machine as original as possible (if only to >make repairs easier in the future), not to mention the cost of a custom PSU This machine used to at least power up without exploding at least two owner's ago. It seems to be the same machine reported as having a 2.5V REGFAIL about four years ago ... so it's not been powered off for a *really* log time. OTOH, the PSU blocks do need to be plugged back in correctly otherwise something *will* go phut very loudly. I'll go read the printset as soon as I dig it out, it may have details of what goes where. >NO!. SMPSUs do not like being run in parallel (unless designed to be used >like that). One PSU will end up attempting to supply all the current and >the other PSUs may not like having voltages applied to their outputs. And once the first one drops dead, the next most "powerful" one repeats the process. Proof by "induction" left as an exercise :-) Antonio

OS/2 running under VMWare, or other emulator for Windoze

by msell＠ontimesupport.com

Guys, Anyone have any luck running OS/2 under an emulator on Windows 2000? Just wondering. I tried installing OS/2 Warp 3 on my copy of VMWare 3, and it (VMWare) got mad and won't allow it to install. The web site says VMWare will not (and has no intention of) support OS/2. I was hoping to find a way to run trusty OS/2 on my laptop when I wasn't busy with work......
