What kind of monitors can be used with the Vaxstation models (2000, 3100,
etc)? I know there are different flavors of Vaxstation graphics -
monochrome, "GPX", etc. Which is the easiest to deal with monitor-wise? Can
an adapter be built to use a standard multi-syncable VGA monitor? Thanks for
any info.

Don't forget that the Televideo PM-16 runs an OEM version of Netware 1.1 or
so...

I've a Commodore 64-SX (the portable) and I was toying with the idea of
updating its kernel/bios/rom/whateveritscalledonthere so that it could
stretch out the life of its floppy drive.
There was a company called CMD that produced a replacement called JiffyDOS
that worked around lots of the slow repetitive speed transfer problems
>from the disk drives. It doesn't seem like they're selling the chips
anymore.
Anyone have a source for these, or failing that, someone have a recipe for
doing this sort of thing?

Hi,
I recall reading a line on/near/inside a Commodore 64 SX
box advertising that their floppy disk drive:
"Reads data faster than you can type".
Is my memory playing tricks on me, or did Commodore really
use such a line (or something quite similar)? Any pointers
would be appreciated.
BTW, I wasn't convinced that it *could* read data faster
than I could type :)
thanks,

I'd *LOVE* to be able to do this, unfortunatly, I don't have a DECserver
that supports this. Someday....

I'm not sure about the 2000, or the 3100's, however, I've successfully
attached a Multisync monitor to my 4000/vlc, and I believe either my 4000/60
or 4000/90. Of course I used a DEC cable with BNC connnectors to hook up
to the monitor.
Personally I prefer a VT420 on my VAXen to a Monitor. I even end up using a
VT420 on most of my Alpha's.

Hi
I doubt you'll find a computer inside. This is a
scale model for wind tunnel testing, not a complete shuttle.

That's a shame! A couple of years back I asked the classiccmp list what
was the "best" CP/M machine, and the overwhelming answer was "Kaypro." I
like mine. It's rock-solid, and applications, compilers, etc. are easy to
find. The disk i/o is slow, though.

Yes. I have the 84/2X schematics and I'll be happy to scan and email them
to the OP if he/she will contact me offlist.

Hence my review alongside the pointer. I was turned onto this thing
by someone who likes to run a recent release from Red Hat, and look
what it got me: a reason to do that OS upgrade I'd been putting off.
Once I did that, getting SRecord to compile was as easy as I'd been
expecting, and it even worked and did what I wanted done.
I expect that most folks running Linux/*BSD have installed or upgraded
within the last two years and so have a sufficiently new version of
gcc at this point, but I also expect that you (and other folks on this
list) might not.
