Wow, what a day... Today (erm, well, yesterday now), I have collected 2x HP1000 machines (c/w 4 free-standing disks & 1 line printer), one 700 (can't remember if that's a HP1000 model or not), and a whole stack of tapes & disc packs & documentation. Woohoo! Thanks Tim! Sadly, we weren't able to save a 3rd HP1000, as the van was already showing serious signs of being overloaded with the gear that was in there - backing into my shed, it was actually running over its own mudflaps... I forgot my digicam, so there's no pics yet. Hopefully, when I'm up north next I'll take a few snaps (and try to get at least one of the boxes booted). And now, I'm officially knackered, g'night! -- Cheers, Ade. Be where it's at, B-Racing! http://b-racing.com

Little old Apple computer

Not very rare or very valuable. Ebay has an auction for a monitor //c (Item #2302608656), currently at $10.00 US. An Apple //c is also for auction on eBay (item #2302671100), currently at $26.00 US. This will give you a sense of the computer's worth. I am sure that a unit with lots of accessories, software, etc. and in excellent condition, will bring more. Stuart

Slightly OT? Squished Boxes..

by dholland＠woh.rr.com

Perhaps this is slightly off topic.. (If so, someone say something, and I'll hush..) I was down in the basement when I stumbled across my box of moldy old software, (mostly pre-1995 IBM PC oriented stuff) and thought to myself, "Hmmm, maybe I should put these up on a bookshelf instead of letting them rot down here." Anyways, upon pulling them out of said box, I noticed a number of the boxes had become fairly squished/dented/etc.. (Next time pack them better. :-/ ) Any body ever try to "restore" old software/computer boxes? Got any tips? Thanks, David

wanted: Multia/UDB spare parts

by freddy＠kotelna.sk

hey folks, I've just missed a great ebay auction for Multia spare parts, does anyone have some multia accessories they might sell/trade? I'm looking mainly for floppy drive with cable and pci riser card with 2.5" connection (and external scsi cable). My multia has also burned videocard, so eventually a whole multia box (with the above included) might be of use as well. If your box doesn't have battery or burned the chip on the botton (common problem, afaik), this doesn't really matter, I'm able to fix this. Thanks in advance, -- freddy ...for more info 'finger freddy(a)kotol.kotelna.sk'

Can a TU81+ be connected to a TU80 controller?

by kees.stravers＠iae.nl

I have a VAX 11/750 machine with a TU80 controller in it. I also have a TU81+ tape drive. I know the TU81+ is supposed to be connected to a KLESI controller. But can a TU81+ be connected to the TU80 controller (only doing 1600 then of course)? And if not, does anyone have a Unibus KLESI for sale?

Inland ProBackup 500 sought (pinouts or software)

As a last resort, how > standard is the DB9 pinout (IF I can find the pinout, no luck there > either)... I'm wondering if I can use just about any UPS software for it. Unlikely. However, it might be a standard serial port that you can hook a terminal to, and see what happens. Other than that, I'd suggest a look at the Network UPS Tools pages at http://www.exploits.org/nut/ I know it's not Windows (though there's a client called WinNUT), but it will at least give you an idea what to try and what to expect. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York

Ultrix v4.3 install on mVaxII

by Fred.van.Kempen＠microwalt.nl

Short answer (top-posted, sorry): i have a kit and a readme somewhere which allowes net.boot and net.install of Ultrix off any machine that runs Unix. I even ported it to NT :) (just for phun, obviously). Basically, you need: - 200M disk space - packet filter in kernel - my new MOP Server That'll boot anything, including the Ultrix install set. Contact me offlist for more info. --fred > -----Original Message----- > From: Steve Jones [mailto:classiccmp@crash.com] > Sent: Sunday, January 26, 2003 8:38 PM > To: classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org > Subject: Re: Ultrix v4.3 install on mVaxII > > > > I own two mVax, a mVax3100 and an mVaxII, [...] > > Is there an alternative way to install it on the mVaxII ? > > You can setup an Ultrix machine with suitable disk space to be > a Remote Installation Server (RIS), or is it referred to as the > Remote Installation Service?

But that's what would walk you through setting up an RIS server -- hopefully that tip will get you a little closer. Good luck, --Steve.

Ultrix v4.3 install on mVaxII

by classiccmp＠crash.com

> I own two mVax, a mVax3100 and an mVaxII, [...] > Is there an alternative way to install it on the mVaxII ? You can setup an Ultrix machine with suitable disk space to be a Remote Installation Server (RIS), or is it referred to as the Remote Installation Service? Well anyway, there's a ton of steps in the Ultrix admin guides explaining how to set the box up as a bootp/tftp server, how to set up a filesystem with the Ultrix software "sets," et cetera. I don't think I have that binder around, but perhaps Google can help... This link will at least explain what RIS is and how it works, though the whole document is focused on setting up RIS on a box running Digital Unix: http://www.tru64unix.compaq.com/docs/base_doc/DOCUMENTATION/HTML/AA-PS3LE-T… Sorry, in the time I've got I don't see any links for the actual Ultrix OS installation guide. But that's what would walk you through setting up an RIS server -- hopefully that tip will get you a little closer. Good luck, --Steve.
