I'm trying to mount a disk on vms and getting an error that I don't
understand.
I'm attempting to mount a disk (a RZ56 on DKA100:), and get the result
%MOUNT-F-ILLOPT, qualifier(s) not appropriate to this device
to both of my attempts to mount it:
MOUNT /OVER=ID DKA100:
MOUNT /FOREIGN DKA100:
The drive shows up in a SHOW DEV /FULL DKA100:
Disk BERNAL$DKA100:, device type RZ56, is online, file-oriented device,
shareable, error logging is enabled.
Error count 0 Operations completed 3023
Owner process "" Owner UIC [0,0]
Owner process ID 00000000 Dev Prot S:RWED,O:WRED,G:WRED,W:RWED
Reference count 0 Default buffer size 512
Total blocks 1299174 Sectors per track 54
Total cylinders 1604 Tracks per cylinder 15
The system came from someone else, and was in a vaxcluster (it's not
anymore - I disabled joining a cluster in the boot args for VMS. I've
checked in they SYSTEM account's LOGIN.COM file and didn't see any aliases
setup for mount.
Any ideas?

I'm a bit unclear on how this new list setup is supposed to work, so my
apologies if I've sent this to the wrong list or in the wrong manner.
I have a couple of systems for sale in York, PA. I don't want to ship.
Email me if you have questions or want to make an offer. Preference is
given to people buying more and taking it away sooner.
SparcServer 470
Power supply has problems and the cards are stuck in too tight to get
them out with the plastic tabs (IIRC, I broke one of the tabs). Nice
chassis, though, and aside from the PS, the cards are probably good.
Similar to <http://shidahara1.earth.s.kobe-u.ac.jp/shidaharaimage/

DEC 3000 800
This is pretty nice. No keyboard or mouse, but it appears to power up
and you might be able to get a terminal working with it. It has an Alpha
(RISC) processor and I'm [i]told[/i] 256 MB RAM. The hard drive is
something like one or two gigabytes and is supposed to have a BSD
installed with the password set to something generic like "password".
This was going to be the new Applefritter server but I got fet up with
trying to get a terminal to work with it. Looks similar to the two
towers in <http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:A8Idr5_kU7MC:www.rz.uni-
wuerzburg.de/system/pix/wrzx1415.gif>.
DEC 3000 something-or-other
This is pretty junky but might have some good parts. Free with the DEC
3000 800. Looks similar to <http://www.g-lenerz.de/images/dec3000-front.jpg>.
Altos 3086
This was made into a CAD system by Slice. This is a pretty cool looking
setup, has a big drawing tablet, and a huge stack of manuals.
Information on the Altos: <http://www.aurigae.demon.co.uk/works.html>.
This also comes with a generic PC or a terminal, or something along the
lines of that. If you need more details on any of these systems, let me know.
Apple Macintosh LC 580
Working and includes ethernet card. I have a couple of these.
Things I'm looking for:
Apple and Mac clones
Neat Apple stuff
Amiga 1000 keyboard
Whatever I need to get my Altos running (the catch is I don't know what I
need yet, though I'll definitley need software for it on 8" disks)

Hi,
I have an EXABYTE 8500 drive with a Peripheral Vision daughter card
plugged into the back (along with the LCD display on the tape door) - I
am taking a guess that this card provides hardware compression to the
8500, but, without documentation, I am not sure how to configure it.
The board has six DIP switches, numbered 1-6 from right to left as
you look at the rear of the drive. 1-3 are the SCSI address, and
seemingly must match the SCSI address that was configured on the drive
itself - fair enough!
Switch 4 enables a menu allowing the selection of 2 and 5GB modes,
and I understand from googling that, if I was to have a 8500c then I
would also be able to bypass the drives internal compression from here.
Once more, this is so far perfectly reasonable.
All of which leaves switches 5 & 6, the reason for this message - can
anyone tell me what (if anything) they do?
Many thanks,
Dave.

Looks like it, but it shouldn't do that. It should accept or reject the
<spamtest> address and then allow the RSET to reset the envelope. If
that's consistent behaviour, and you want to run the rest of the tests,
you'll need to find out what they are (or devise equivalents) and do each
by hand. Some of them have to be run from a non-local connection, so you
might need an accomplice.
http://www.sxlist.com/techref/inet/smtpsend.htm has a sample transcript if
you want to try individual tests by hand. BTW, there is one shortcoming of
the tests -- they check to see if the mail is rejected at the time of the
SMTP exchange; some people have argued that it's OK to accept the mail so
long as it's not delivered. Personally, I prefer not to have some spammer
wasting my resources and I prefer the mail to be rejected at the earliest
possible point.

<Sigh> You've been married 45 years before you got to this
point, I'm 45 years old and I'm there already.
Will I even remember I used to work with computers by that time?
Ah, what a life... my drool cup runneth over...

Hi. I've been trying to read in a variety of old backup cartridge tapes
as raw data so that I can write some tools to parse them (or port the
old backup software used to write them). This seems to be the easiest
way to explore old backup data from a variety of old machines without
having to fire up the machines themselves.
Since I'm trying to do this from a Unix (Linux) box, 'dd' was the
obvious first choice, but I don't know things like the block size at
which the tapes were originally written. Ideally, I'd just like to read
raw data from the media, period. I've tried reading the tapes using 'dd'
with a variety of block sizes, but still get zero-length input files.
The drives I'm using to read the data are capabable of the densities at
which they were written, and I understand the Unix/Linux device numbers
- you can hear that the drives are working at the correct density, but
I'm still not getting data. I even wrote a little program to just read
data directly from the raw device, but don't seem to be getting anything
there either.The drives whir and whine, but I get nada.
Any suggestions? Any utilities you'd suggest rather than 'dd'? Many of
these are non-Unix systems, so 'tar' and 'cpio' aren't appropriate.
Thanks!
Bill
I'm looking to buy a halfway decent VAXstation (3100, or preferrably something
like a VLC). One requirement - it needs to have the 15-pin graphics monitor
connection on the back, so I can use this BC23K cable to connect to the
VRE01 I got today for $5. 8-)
(Yes, I'm buying a computer to hook to a monitor, not the other way around!)

Anyone have one, electronic or otherwise, or even owners guide? It appears
I can still actually buy the tech manual from D^HC^HHP, but I really don't
want to pay $50 for a manual to a termserver that I got for $0.

Have you read the 11/780 docs from
http://208.190.133.201/decimages/moremanuals.htm ?
There is a fair amout of technical stuff in there.
There is also a HW User's Guide at:

For the 780 (and maybe 785) DEC did at one point
sell microprogramming tools. I guess someone might
still have this info, but if they do they're keeping quiet
about it!

Does anyone have info on getting one of these to work with a serial
console? I *could* build myself a console cable, and probably will do
that, but getting this thing running at least *somewhat* would be nice
right now.
