Way cool! Sounds similar to the project that interfaces an ATA
drive to the DEC Qbus! :)
Ey Bob... we want pictures!

I have most of the System/36 stuff... except the languages, sigh. You
wouldn't happen to have any of the SSP on 5.25" would you. I have a 5363
I've never successfully IPL'd . And while I'm turning your request for
assistance on its head... you wouldn't happen to want a 5360 would you? I
have one in need of a good home. I don't even have a garage so I'm paying
storage for the beast (2 tape drives, 2 printers, expanded main cabinet
with additional disk platters and the magazine version of the 8" floppy).
Maybe I can be more helpful if you have other S/36 needs in future. I have
a lot of the books and even a few already scanned to PDF.
While I'm begging, I don't suppose anyone out there has the Office suite
for S/36, or any interesting applications? Or maybe someone wants to be
free of a 5364 (a little easier on the electric bills than the 63, 62 or
60). My systems only have SSP, and I have a perverse desire to get some use
out of them.

I don't know about the UK either ;-) but that seems like a useful tip.
Thanks!

This is probably OffTopic(tm), but I thought folks here might be able to
point me in the right direction.
>From a previous life, I have a perfectly fine working UPS. The brand says
"Inland - by ABI International". Model is "Probackup5000", part number is
19500. It has a DB9 serial port on the back for interfacing with a host to
notify it of loss of ac, impending shutdown, etc. However, I don't have the
software (for Windoze) that came with it.
I've googled for hours, and can't come up with anything on this exact unit.
Would anyone happen to have windows software for it? 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.
Any advice?
THANKS!

[This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus]
I ran across the unopened box today at a Salvation Army thrift.
First, is there any reason to leave it unopened? It's not all that
rare, is it?
Second, this box is marked "IBM PC or Tandy 1000", but on the back it
has features listed as "Macintosh, Macintosh II, Apple IIGS, Amiga, and
Atari ST" only. Does this box include all those versions?
Doc
I might, I'll have to check.. I know I have COBOL and SSP and some other
crud...

You only need one, but you can put in up to three. The hostresorder line
isn't used, though -- it's a hangover from earlier versions and will be
ignored in Irix 6.2 and upwards. What you need is an entry in
/etc/nsswitch.conf, with the lines
hosts: files dns
ipnodes: files dns
Most software uses the functions that use the hosts line, some uses
ipnodes.

6.5 supports R4000 Indigo, all Indigo^2, all Indy, and anything later. A
Crimson needs 5.3 or 6.2, not 6.5. An R3000 Indigo needs 5.3 or earlier.
Actually, some of the older smaller machines run better with 5.3, but you
need a big collection of patches, some of which are hard to find on SGI's
"new improved" web site right now.
