You can always count on Joe to sniff out the good stuff. He's got a nose like a bloodhound. The rest of his face doesn't look so good, either. (Sorry, Joe, I couldn't resist that opportunity ;>) Actually, he's even found interesting stuff in junk piles *in my own shop* that I couldn't identify. Glen 0/0

[CCTECH] MicroPDP-11/23+ now boots!

by lists＠subatomix.com

After a few days of work, I have successfully restored and booted a MicroPDP-11/23+. This is the first PDP-11 that I've actually restored, and one of four that I want to get working this summer. This is also only the second PDP-11 that I've even *used*. Here's what the cards look like: Backplane: H9278-A (3xQ22/CD 5xQ22/Q22) AAAAAAAAAA BBBBBBBBBB CCCCCCCCCC DDDDDDDDDD 1 M8189----(KDF11-BF)------------------------ 2 M8067-LB-(MSV11-P)------------------------- 3 M9047---------------- SPACER-CARD---------- 4 M9047---------------- M9047---------------- 5 M9047---------------- M9047---------------- 6 M9047---------------- M9047---------------- 7 M7957----(DZV11-M)------------------------- 8 M8639-YA-(RQDX1)--------------------------- I've got another MSV11-P card that I'll stick in there as soon as I get its jumpers changed. Per Tony's info, I did not remove any grant jumpers on the CPU and memory cards; neither card uses the CD bus, so removal is not necesary. Per Ethan's help, the cards have been reorganized for maximum expansion ease. I did have to replace the power supply and the CPU card. Them's the breaks. It's got RT-11 5.1 and CTS-300 8.1 installed, and it boots. I've got some playing to do! Many thanks go out to: - The people who run documentation websites - Ethan Dicks and Tony Duell for help - Jeffrey Worley for the majority of the parts - Eric Dittman for the BA23 plastic shell -- Jeffrey Sharp The email address lists(a)subatomix.com is for mailing list traffic.

Commodore 128 newbie question

by fernande＠internet1.net

Since I don't even know if this machine works yet, can I hook it up to a TV instead of a monitor? I'd hate to go buy another monitor from Goodwill only to find that the computer doesn't work. The computer is still disassembled. I may start reassembly tonight, However. Chad Fernandez Michigan, USA

Alas, I cannot get the damned pictures to work, but if someone from the list buys it, I really REALLY could use the HP drives! heh Will J _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.

by Antonio.Carlini＠riverstonenet.com

>I suppose it could just be the RA82 and the TK?? drive but maybe its a whole >system... Not that I'm going to Virgina to find out... Without seeing the inside, you cannot be sure. It's certainly a MicroVAX III enclosure with an RA drive. There's no guarantee that the innards have not been gutted or that the disk works. I guess shipping will cost much more than $35 ... Antonio

What happens when... (Q/CD question)

by lists＠subatomix.com

...you plug a quad-width board into a Q/CD slot, and the board has its grant enable jumpers in place? Is there any chance that this would kill the board? -- Jeffrey Sharp The email address lists(a)subatomix.com is for mailing list traffic.

APPLEVISION Monitor

Huh? Amiga volume names ended in colon "DH0:" but the folder names weren't separated by colons in a path string. I can't remember an instance where a Mac application allowed the user to enter the colons, although they were used internally, and you could use them in some developer tools that gave command lines or operated on "makefile"s. - John
