Because it's not two lists. It's two views of the same list --
everything posted to cctech is automatically seen by cctalk; everything
*on topic* posted to cctalk is also seen by cctech. In other language,
cctech is a proper subset of cctalk (and cctalk is a superset of
cctech). Therefore, if you subscribe to cctalk, you see everything,
and your posts go to cctech if they're relevant; if you subscribe to
cctech, you only see part of the list traffic, but everything you post
is seen by every subscriber.
What's worst is posting to both; then *everyone* gets two copies of
what you post.

Hi,
the Hauppauge 4860 motherboard holds 2 processors, one i486 and one
i860.
I've written a tool to run programs on the i860 that I want to share,
and I'm also looking for other users of the board.
You can find the loader tool at
ftp://ftp.groessler.org/pub/chris/i860/hauppauge_4860/loader-0.50.tar.gz .
regards,
chris
Hiyall,
Is it me, or does this *often* happen right after the weekend?

I am not sure exactly what went on with this, but I am guessing that perhaps
the old version of mailman had it's own templates and the new version uses
different web templates, both of which are apparently active.
If anyone is having problems logging in to change their subscription
settings.... do not use www.classiccmp.org/cctech.html or
www.classiccmp.org/cctalk.html
Those two links are where the classiccmp website points to for modifying
your membership. The correct links are:
www.classiccmp.org/mailman/options/cctech and
www.classiccmp.org/mailman/options/cctalk
These two links will let you change your subscription options. These links
aren't the "normal" way to get to it... since apparently the mailman website
structure changed with the upgrade (and the old customized pieces from Jeff
Sharp are still there) - the old pages do things wrong.
I'll straighten it out shortly, but temporarily you can use the above two
links!

But that's the whole point... if a cctalker posts to cctalk, he IS posting
to cctech by doing so. He should NOT post to cctech directly or he will get
rejected as he should be. And a cctecher posting to cctech IS posting to
cctalk, just by posting to cctech.
One more time... if someone posts to cctech, the list server automatically
cross posts the same message to cctalk - for him - he doesn't need to do it.
This happens instantaneously. If someone posts to cctalk, the list software
posts the message to cctech as well automatically, but, it's held for
moderation.
Hummm Maybe to drive this point home I need to disallow posts to cctalk, and
disallow posts to cctech email addresses for ANYTHING. Instead, everyone
will have to post to classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org, which is really what they
should be doing anyway because there really isn't two separate lists. There
is ONE list, but with two views.

One of the other list members and I have a bunch of Exorbus cards made by
CMS. He's trying to convince me to put together an Exorbus system with
them. We have planty of cards but NO docs. Does anyone have docs for ANY of
the CMS stuff?

I found this board at a scrapper's in a bin of circuit boards (I was
looking for EPROM chips). This one had some interesting chips on it,
but it also had those funny off center modular jack things, so I
recognized it as Digital. What did this come from? My best guess would
be a VaxStation, but I don't really know. I would like to get this
machine functional (I always wanted something I could run VMS on). Can
anyone help me with the pinouts of the power connector? Can I connect
some sort of disk drive to boot from, or do I need some additional
controller boards? What are the ports for, and how would I connect a
terminal? Is it even worth the effort to try and rebuild this computer,
or should I just continue on my quest for a VAX? Thanks!

Hiyall,
OK, here are the results of the Dutch jury :)
We grabbed:
- one InfoServer 150VXT
- one VAXserver 3100 (low-profile model)
and installed ESS V3.0 onto the InfoServer. That, obviously,
works fine. We then cleaned up the 3100, and did a basic test
on its functions... all OK, machine has 8MB, RZ23. Ripped out
the extra I/O boards and the extra 4MB, to make it look more
like a standard InfoServer machine.
We put the IS ROMs into the 3100. Started up.. all looks good,
just like it were an InfoServer. Next step: connect the hard
disk (RZ24) of the InfoServer to the 3100. Set the boot flag
to D0000000 (IS standard) and.. yay, off we go. We have an
IS 3100 :) (actually, it reports itself as being an 150, so
that all seems to work out fine.)
We then connected another disk (a standard RZ23 104MB) and did
an install of IS onto that disk. No problems there, either..
the ESS software assumes it's an IS150.
So there. YES, IT WORKS.
One caveat: this 3100 seems to want the console port MMJ port
3, unlike most others I have seen. ESS puts it on port 1, so,
after booting the VAX into ESS, you have to re-plug the console
terminal into port 1 to get to the ESS login prompt.
Other than that, all works fine and as expected.
Phase II now continues: will this also work on a VAXstation
3100, i.e., the other mainboard?
Watch this channel for more updates...
