PDP-8: (and others) anyone tried NVRAM simulation of hard drives?

by xds_sigma7＠hotmail.com

I think Ethan's points are excellent; in fact, the main reason I had suggest an SSD in the first place was because the real drives used with the 8/i were not very large (by modern standards). I'd like to add that a major reason for my desire for such a beast is the fact that I have absolutely no peripherals for my 8/i, nor do I have the required boards to control them if I did have them. Heck, I don't even currently have a complete machine, but I'm working on it. I'll hopefully soon have a list of needed boards I can post to the list... Anyone have any REAL manuals for the thing that they'd part with? Or a paper tape reader? Please? *begs* Will J

by xds_sigma7＠hotmail.com

Omnibus or Posibus? Why not Negibus? Neither Omnibus nor Posibus would help me on my 8/i, since mine is Negibus... An SSD would be a Very Cool Thing to have though... Especially since it really wouldn't have to be very large in terms of capacity.. Will J _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?

I have an ancient copy of this game on two 800K floppies - whether it has sound or not I'm not sure as I don't have a system 6 Mac handy to test with but it dates to maybe 1988 or 1989 - I have a note to myself on one disk that it's "not Multifinder compatible and needs to be run after restarting with the Command (Apple) key down", which locks out Multifinder. If you'd like a copy I'll make disk images and e-mail them... Seth Lewin

If you show us the contents of /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/nsswitch.conf, /etc/config/static-route.options (if you're going through a gateway like a local router) or if you're using PPP: /etc/ppp.conf (obscure the passwords!), and the output of netstat -ia, netstat -rn, and ifconfig -a, we might be able to figure it out. Is routed or gated running? yp/nis? named? You mentioned "your router". Does your router do DNS? If you have /etc/resolv.conf pointing to the same nameservers as your router is, and you also list the router itself, and the router is doing some form of NAT, chances are that replies to DNS requests from your machine will get lost. What happens if you use nslookup? Can you ping other local hosts by name? Remote hosts? -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York

GRiDCase 3: Help!

by netsurfer_x1＠fastmailbox.net

I not too recenly picked up a GRiDCase 3 with 2 "GRiD Disc System 2204" external hard drives. Just yesterday they both started acting up on me. It would initially spin up when you turned it on, but after a few seconds they would just kick off. A few seconds later I get a "1702" message on my screen. I'm lead to believe that there could be a configuration problem somewhere, but I'm not 100% sure on this. My questions are: 1. What is going on here? 2. How do I fix this? -- David Vohs netsurfer_x1(a)fastmailbox.net -- http://fastmail.fm - Choose from over 50 domains or use your own

Do a google search... the author still has it and its mates for sale, and yes, I think he ported it to other platforms (I found his site thru a google search a few weeks ago). -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>
