DECstation 5000/240

by coredump＠gifford.co.uk

I've recently acquired a DECstation 5000/240, a MIPS-based workstation made in 1992. I've got it to respond to the serial console (by removing the frame buffer card) and now I want to try to net-boot it. However, the console PROM is version KN03-AA V5.1b, which is too old to boot via tftp. Version KN03-AA V5.2b would be OK. Now, does anyone know if I can upgrade the console PROM somehow? If so, how? I do have an EPROM programmer, of course! -- John Honniball coredump(a)gifford.co.uk

Reply to: OT - Warren Zevon

by nerdware＠ctgonline.org

I heard this a little while ago, also. You don't know how much this ruined my day... Warren is one of the best. Met him a couple of times, seen him a dozen, was at one of the shows that got recorded for "Learning to Flinch." Damn it. I hate it when we lose the good ones. Paul ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS: I think Warren Zevon has come up here a couple times. I figured I'd let any fans that don't already know, know the bad news. I know my day is ruined now. Zane September 12, 2002 Warren Zevon has inoperable cancer Sep. 12, 2002 "Werewolves of London" rocker Warren Zevon, the singer-songwriter whose satire, cynicism and wit went on display in the 1978 album "Excitable Boy," has been diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer, his publicist said Thursday. Zevon, 55, was told of the terminal diagnosis last month by doctors and he is spending time with his grown children, spokeswoman Diana Baron said. The entertainer lives in Los Angeles. "He has been diagnosed with lung cancer which has advanced to an untreatable stage," she said, adding he's writing and recording as many songs as possible and will be in the recording studio next week. Zevon said in a statement, "I'm OK with it, but it'll be a drag if I don't make it till the next James Bond movie comes out." (AP) -- | Zane H.

What TI ultimately put out instead of the much-touted TI-88. (Actually saw one of those a while back on Ebay. Went for about $600 IIRC. The seller was an ex-TI engineer who expressed surprise when I brought up the subject of the TI-99/8, many more of which escaped Engineering and found their way out into the world than said calc.) The 74 has a BASIC interpreter, while the 95 is more an advanced scientific calculator. Both are programmable at the assembly level. The PC-324 printer works with both. Nice machines. You can still by them new/refurbed from an outfit in the Pac. Northwest. Name of which escapes me at the moment.) jbdigriz

Nope, my (UK) model is a single-phase model, and will run off a standard UK mains plug. Alex -- Live like you will never die, love like you've never been hurt, dance like no-one is watching.

Do these things require (as I have heard rumored) 240-volt 3-phase power? Thanks John
