Yeeeeehah! I devoted maybe four hours today and yesterday to reading more about VMS, paks, UCX vs. TCPIP, DECNet plus and such stuff, and I was finally able (after a two year hiatus) to install the TCPIP product more or less correctly in my Vaxstation 4000/60. It seems to work and I could finally ftp the complete hobbyst paks to it (before I had to do each by hand). I get errors on startup about some proxy database. I think that I still have some configuration errors (especially in the DECnet plus side, but then again, I won't be using it to communicate with anything else DECnet), but the basic stuff seems to run (telnet and ftp clients and servers). Question: where can I get ssh for vax openvms 7.2? Question: can somebody tell me what are the step by step commands/dcl incantations to create a user with reasonable privileges? (I don;t want to login remotely to the system account). And, does the concept of a user home directory exist in vms? Where does one normally create user directories?

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

TRS80 Pocket PC or Sharp PC1211 Diagrams

by sipke＠wxs.nl

Does anybody have a scanned version of the TRS Pocket PC or the Sharp PC-1211 aviable. I've recently obtained one (TRS-type) including printer/cassette interface but after installing new batteries the machine seem a rather psychotic and is only eratically reacting toa few keypresses. I locks up pretty soon after. A reset does give a reaction that seems normal. PCB's and keyboard look ok, so the CPU is still doing something ????? On the backside of the main PCB there are two capacitors (small tanlatium) that seem to have been blown (could be RF-filters also) I can't really see the because of a ribboncable. Anyway these components have spilled some debris on the PCB so something is wrong there .....

[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.
