What is this? Looks like maybe a VAX of some sort..

by Innfogra＠aol.com

The pallet in the upper right of the second picture are the three UPSs. The Pallet in the upper left of the second picture is the HP 7820? Which I think is actually a 7920 50 Meg removable pack disk drive. My 1981 HP catalog lists them at $14,000 to 18,000 new. The pallet on the bottom right of the second picture is the HP 2608 printer, a 400 LPM printer. In 1981 list price was $9,900. The pallet in the lower left of the second picture is a printer in a crate. It does not look like another HP printer from what little I can see. I think the first picture is a MicroVAX system with the RA Disk drive on the top. I think it is the one listed at $154,000+ and called disk memory unit.

MS-DOS CD Burning Software and MAKEISO

by Robert_Feldman＠jdedwards.com

Richard, Goldenhawk also offers a freeware CD2CD.EXE program. Is this the one you are refering to? Bob -----Original Message----- From: Richard Erlacher [mailto:edick@idcomm.com] Sent: Monday, June 03, 2002 11:18 PM To: cctalk(a)classiccmp.org Subject: Re: MS-DOS CD Burning Software and MAKEISO I've had access to lots of software for burning/duplicating CD's, and there's been none that produced results better than the freeware called CD2CD. A web search should turn this up. I've yet to see a package, under Windows or any other OS that surpasses it in reliability. In view of that, I'd not pay more than $0.01 for anything else.

DEC 3000/800 diag LEDs

by rschaefe＠gcfn.org

Anyone know where I might be able to find out what the diag LEDs on my new '800 are telling me? I haven't been able to find much googling, but I might not be using the correct incantation. The LEDs stay on FD. I've tried with and without the red shorting jumper in the printer MMJ, with a vt320 on the printer MMJ, and with a vt320 on the DB25 port via an H8575-A both with and without the jumper. I do have a 3W3 cable to try the PMAGD-AA, but without a keyboard and mouse I really don't want to drag out the 21" monitor unless I have to. On a side note, what kind of keyboard and mouse does this use? Something compatible with an LK401, as in all I need is a little adapter box, or is it more complex than that? Bob

The Future End of Classic Computing

by mythtech＠mac.com

>To go back to the hammer for a moment, if I go out and buy a hammer and >bash somebody's head in with it, then I am guilty of murder. The company >that made the hammer, and the shop that sold it to me, are not. And >that's how it should be. Scary thing is... here in the US, it doesn't seem to work that logically. People have been sueing gun manufacturers off and on because they made the gun that was used to kill someone. I don't know if anyone has WON a suit, but I do know the suits have been filed (and win or loose, you are costing the gun maker needless legal troubles). Sueing people has become so much the norm here... that the government has had to step in and offer insurance backing for the companies cleaning up the world trade center... because the companies know ALREADY that there will be lawsuits when they are done, and without insurance, they know they will be sued into bankruptcy. AND, since it is such a known fact that they will be sued... no insurance company was willing to insure them, which meant they weren't willing to do the work... so the government had to step in and offer backing. F-ing scary! Remember, this is the country that awarded 3 million dollars to a lady because she put her hot coffee in her lap, and then spilled it... and was able to sue McDonalds because the coffee was too hot and it burned her (yes, there is more to that story, but the fact that she was even able to get to trial is just f-ed up... where is the personal responsibility in this country?!?) -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

MS-DOS CD Burning Software and MAKEISO

by Robert_Feldman＠jdedwards.com

I wasn't following the thread closely, and have deleted the posts, but I want to add to the thread about burning ISO format CD's. I just ran across the following URL on another list. They sell ($39.00) MS-DOS based CR-ROM burning software (16-bit and 32-bit), including a MAKEISO program, that might be of interest. http://goldenhawk.com/dos_body.htm Bob
