how to preserve old RL01 pack data?

by healyzh＠aracnet.com

> The question is, how can I get a copy of a pack as a > binary image onto the PC ? (to load in simh for example ?) I don't suppose you have access to a MicroVAX? I always do this under VMS, and then FTP the data over to a UNIX system. Unfortuantly I'm not sure how you can do this under RT-11, however, I'd guess that at a minimum you'd need a RL02 drive and pack to hold the image for transfer over the the PC. Zane

Jeez, Sellam, I thought I was the only one who got suckered on that deal! I got mine around '64 (I think they were $1.99), and man, was I crushed to see how little they resembled the drawing in the ad :<( Glen 0/0 If I am not for myself, then who will be for me?

That can be disabled by the application. Disabling PrtSc would require hooking the OS on every machine running notes. But if somehow they were able to do even that, a program like VMware running notes would do a nice job of making a screen capture possible. Failing that, someone who wanted to get the word out could simply photograph the screen. > > What about a copy/paste operation? > > --tom

RF output DOES NOT equal Composite!!!!

>lines) on it. It lets me use the various facilites of the SCART connector >without contiunally swearing at the darn plug! Since I've seen several people express this same sentiment, what exactly is the problem with SCART? My only experience of SCART has been to connect my TV to various input sources (a VCR, a camcorder and a satellite receiver) and for that it seems to work reasonably well. Antonio

[CCTECH] HP C19 calculator - power requirements?

by msspcva＠yahoo.com

Hello: Can someone tell me or point me towards a site with information on the power requirements for a HP C19 printing calculator? I've got one which I'd like to sell, but I'd like to see if it works or not first. It appears to be in decent shape, tho the carrying case is getting ratty. I see on the back it says "5V" and "1W", but the connector (I assume for a AC adapter) isn't labeled, and it has no power pack.

A VAX 6610 is rolling toward my garage ...

by gunther＠aurora.regenstrief.org

Hehe, there goes the last VAX out of my workplace, and right into my garage. And its a 6610! That means I will need to add in a few processors, but there is my NVAX. Much work is before me. I should get Ultrix 4.2 ported to it starting with the 6000-400 files. It can't be so hard after the 6000-500 runs... We'll see. Does anyone have the processor internal registers for the KA66A? With some luck we can drop in just a very small set of kernel files that can be reused under Ultrix 4.5 binary. For NetBSD it will be a little harder to replicate all the missing stuff. I think I will want to set up a fast cross compiling or native VAX box for that first. That also means that a 6400 will become free on relatively short notice. This one goes to Micheal McCabe, if he wants it (?) I am a bit reluctant yet to convert the 6400 to a -600 so quickly after I barely set it up. I guess I will take some time to actually do the conversion. But in a matter of 4 weeks after I took her home, I should probably get rid of that extraneous then 64x0 cabinet. (the 'x' depends a little on how I will distribute all the CPUs.) Also, there are the XMI and VAXBI backplanes (with some defect, but certainly not everything on both of them) free for the taking. They aren't claimed yet and that means I will decompose those shortly. cheers, -Gunther -- Gunther Schadow, M.D., Ph.D. gschadow(a)regenstrief.org Medical Information Scientist Regenstrief Institute for Health Care Adjunct Assistant Professor Indiana University School of Medicine tel:1(317)630-7960 http://aurora.regenstrief.org

I was a slower learner. I sent of several times for the items on the backs of cereal boxes. I can still remember the propeller powered boat that when let loose would dive into the water and sink. The baking powder powered sub did work but was a lot smaller than the picture lead one to believe. Anyway, I liked the sea monkeys. Dwight

There are a few programmes that allow you to take a "screen shot", which means they produce a (.bmp .jpg...whatever) file that shows what you had on your screen when you press some key. The one I have was part of the Corel family...unfortunately, I haven't used it a long time and I'm not home now to check its name. There could also be something like this out as freeware, but I'm not sure on this. Even if it's a bit complicated, this would at least allow you to print the contents of those manuals the original viewer doesn't want you to. Legality of such operations is another problem; I do not want to encourage illegal actions. But I also don't want to see perfectly repairable appliances go to the dumpster. Choose your way...
