No, Indys can use any mix of 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB SIMMS, and they (and Indigo2 and R4000 Indigo) take standard 72-pin fastpage-mode parity SIMMs. There's a bug in the ASIC (according to SGI) on the 64-pin proprietary SIMMs which means you can use any number of 2MB or 8MB SIMMs but only one set of 4MB SIMMs on a 4D/35 or R3000 Indigo. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York

Hey guys. I found this on comp.os.vms.

I was keeping the MV 3400 to read 9 track tapes, however with a TSZ07 I no longer need it. It has 24Mb memory and a TU81 Plus tape drive. Either the TU81 or KLESI is broken - I suspect the KLESI.

I tried once to get hotmetal pro working under OS/2, but I think the Win32 version was higher than what OS/2 could use.

attn: list admins

by Adrian.Graham＠corporatemicrosystems.com

I've been trying all sorts of ways I can think of majordomo-wise to get off this list, and each time it tells me my email address isn't valid; if that's the case why am I still getting list mail both here and digest mail at home? It ceased to be interesting here months ago with all the bitching and in-fighting, so it would be nice to stop receiving the mails. Thanks. witchy

[not OT]Anyone with an SMD rework station

by rschaefe＠gcfn.org

willing to do work on classic (read not easily replacable) machines? Specifically I'm interested in adding SOJ RAM to some proprietary SGI SIMMS, and possibly SOJ RAM to a SPARCBook2 CPU board. The chip spacing is such that a soldering iron is not a viable alternative. Thanks! Bob

Windows V3.2?!?

You're thinking of "win32s," which was an add-on to kind of poorly retrofit windows 3.1 with some "nt features." It is very similar to the later windows 95, in fact, and some versions of the microshaft development products would allow you to produce apps that used a somewhat limited subset of the win32 api, which would work on any of the three systems. I seem to remember that win32s may have been rather limited in what it could draw to the screen -- being still only able to really use windows 3.1 widgets, and that there were a few file handling conveniences that weren't added in. It has been a while, though. FWIW, many windows programs (understandably -- things like mpeg players, Mosaic, etc, etc...) used to require this. It was distributed, and may still be distributed, for free.

Classic Computers vs. Micro$oft 'droids (was: What other list s...)

(fewer and fewer now) Oops! I wanted to reply to this point too. Since it's only arguably topical, I'll keep it short. I agree. It's certainly possible, given the size of their organization, that some of them are fine, intelligent people. They obviously don't run the place, but they may be there, nonetheless. I have no personal problem with any one of their employees, no matter what the company as a whole does. I'd hope that everyone else thinks that way too, but obviously that's not the case.
