Does anyone have a manual for this? My clock appears to work except that it's not setting the time automaticly. It recieves WWV and the Data light blinks and the Capture light blinked a couple of times but the correct time never appeared on the display. Also what do the Hi Spec, Trim Up and Trim Dn lights mean?

There *are* possibilities, since 'they were designed' to talk to 3174
controllers and *they* are intelligent devices that can do a lot with the
right microcode.
They talk coax 3270 to a 3174 controller. If you can get a 3174 with
token-ring or ethernet connectivity (t/r is common, shows up on ebay from
time to time, and is cheap; ethernet is like hens teeth and still worth a
fair bit) and the latest microcode from IBM (C6 or better), the 3174
supports tcpip & telnet, allowing you to use the 3270 terminal to connect to
any ASCII host across the LAN.
I *think* that only applies to common or garden 3270 CUT devices however -
and the 3290 series stuff is DFT, requires download (DSL)microcode from the
3174 to work, and can't be used for telnet. I *think*.
I have a 3174 set up for telnet; I have a 3290. I'll get 'em together
sometime and see if it works.

New Haven, CT, is probably about an hour or two out of the way...

You know, I should dig that thing out and fire it up one of these
days. It got put in the basement computer room, and I haven't had a chance
yet to start it.
When I saw this mentioned, I was about to laugh at Chris for handing
it over, but Sellam had to come by and burst the bubble... :/

Well, I now have the fixings for an interesting VAXcluster in the basement:
VAX 6000 320, VAXstation 4000 90, VAXstation 3100 40 (I think), VAX 4000
200, and some maybe-OT alphas (DEC 3000/300X, DEC 3000/700, and a DEC
3000/800). Also a TU-81+ w/ RA-81, and a RA-91 in the 6K machine. Support
hardware includes a DELNI, DECserver 100, and an HP bridge to segment the
cluster off the network proper.
Now I have to figure out how I'm going to tie it all together. The plan so
far is to cluster all the VAXen over the DELNI. I don't have any CI
equipment, and in any case IIRC only the 6K would be able to use it. I'm
not positive what I'm going to do with the alphas, but I'd like at least one
of 'em in the cluster too, maybe dual-boot them into OpenVMS or NetBSD. I
think OpenVMS 7.? still supports the old VAXen, and from what I've heard on
c.o.v it's recommended over the 5.5-? currently installed on three of the
machines.
Ok, I confess this was partly to brag, but has anyone done something neat
with a VAXcluster that I could do too? I'm not to the point where I can
spark everything at once (need a new power circuit for the 6K for one
thing-- did the 220V conversion already, thanks), but I'd like to have a
direction early on, kind of a goal to work towards. Anyone want to share?

If these are the commands as used verbatim, then it is looking for
a *file* by the name of DD0. You need to specify the device name,
so use 'DD0:'. (I'm surprised it didn't report the name of the file
it didn't find.) So, the command should be:
COPY/SYS DD0: DD1:
Doing this, however, will not result in an optimized tape... it may
actually take a relatively long time to boot. I actually got a
TU58-based system to boot in as little as 30 seconds by judicious
placement of the system files. If you (or other people) are
interested, I could write it up...

Hi,
I am in the process of compiling a list of inmos
transputer boards (excluding trams). I have information
on most if not all of them so far except the following:
IMSB013 - Did it ever exist and if so, what was it
IMSB019 - ditto
anything after IMSB020???
again, I am only looking for information on the IMSB
series and not IMSB4?? trams...
Thanks,
Ram
PS: Finally figured out what was causing the HTML
messages. First of all, I apologize for that. Our
confidential signature that gets added by Microshaft
Exchange only supports HTML so even if you send your
emails via text, the server sends them out in HTML. Our
useless SAs, claim that it can not output plain text. Is
this true???

For one thing they'd have to go after companies like AT&T and HP. MicroSlouth couldn't push them around the way that it does small companies.

They don't specialize in vintage, but a surprising number of things are still
