This is way off-topic, but there is no such thing as a cheap Lotus. You either
pay up front or pay later.

Also, if the indy has accounts with login allowed (like guest, lp, etc),
and no shadow passwords, you can log in as one of those accounts, grab
the password hash for root from /etc/passwd, and crack it on another
machine. I got into a IRIX 6.2 box this way. IRIX 6.5 I believe uses
shadow passwords by default so you might be out of luck there for an
"easy" solution.

OK, my Indy is now (almost) all working. I need to change the monitor refresh
rate, but I can't do that unless I can log in. I don't have the root pwd either.
Apparently you can't go to single user without the root pwd. I can do just
about anything -- I have a serial console hookup, but no root to go with it :(
I can't get it on a network either... I tried using the setenv command to set
the IP to a local address, but I don't think it works (new to IRIX/SGI, so that
may be way off!)
Anyone have any ideas? I already tried most of the normal ones -- guest, tours,
lp, etc. and found them to be closed! Jeez, just what I need... a security
consious admin!
I have no floppy or CDROM installed on this, nor do I have a SCSI adapter to
mount the drives under linux and do the deed the _simple_ way. I also lack IRIX
media.
Any thoughts? I don't want to buy many more components... but I guess that if I
have to, I can make a few more purchases...
Thanks!

Next time I visit my parents I will be pulling my TRON electronic game out
of storage... It looks like a mini arcade machine and had three or four
games.
Now the question: What causes batteries to start leaking? I am worried
that there may have (now) 15 year old batteries in it. :(
Cheers,
Bryan
Hello Arlen,
I am a consulting engineer working with a client up in Sacramento, CA that
has a Model AA-545 development system (S/N 5129 CEI) used to program a Motorola
MC68HC05C8 microprocessor back in the late 1980's. We are also interested in
learning more about this system and if there is someone out there who could use
it... We do have some 5 1/4 in floppy's (MS -DOS 2.0) for the system. Did you
ever find any further information during your search in July? Perhaps we can
in some way help eachother?
Regards,
Chuck Clemens

I am looking for a hard drive for my MAC SE. I would need the cable to
connect it to my computer. An external HD would be ok if you dont have an
internal one.
Thanks
Bill

I recently acquired this board, it appears to be an S100 board, since
it has the 100 pin connector and voltage regulators onboard. Does
anyone know what this is, or what it came from? In the upper right
corner, it says "Dynatech NEWSTAR 1MP481 REV. A (C) 1990" The board has
a Z80, a 27128 EPROM, an 8k static RAM, some 41c256 DRAMS, a Z80 SIO,
some RS-232 line driver pairs (1488/1489), and two 26 pin headers,
which appear to be serial ports.
Here is a picture I took:
http://24.194.65.231/images/unknownboard.jpg
It appears to be a complete Z80 computer on a board, so I would imagine
that it would be possible to power it up, and connect a terminal to it,
but I don't know if it would do anything. Any information on what this
could be, or what it might do would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I'm trying to get a Magnolia floppy controller running in an H89, and I'm
having some odd problems.
The Magnolia controller apparently requires their own monitor ROM, which I
have (444-84B revision 10). It's my understanding that this ROM actually
negotiates the baud rate with the terminal logic board rather than requiring
a fixed 9600 as the Heath ROMs do. However, when I have this ROM installed,
the machine doesn't seem to be able to "sync". The CPU and TLB speak
together perfectly with the normal Heath ROM (444-84 or 444-142), so I'm
inclined to rule out problems with the UARTs, transceivers, and cables. But
most of the time the screen spouts gibberish with the Magnolia ROM in place,
and when it does sync up, I can't type more than a few characters before
things go to pot. I've also gotten the same behavior with two known-good
CPU boards.
Any suggestions? Does anyone know if revision 10 is a good version of
Magnolia's ROM, or do I have it because the guy I got it from uses version
11 in his '89? :-)
This controller supports a variety of 5-1/4" formats, as well as 8" drives,
so I'd love to get it running.
Thanks!
Patrick
P.S. Yes, I do have the "other" recommended Magnolia PROMs in place... full
set is 444-83 (Heath), 444-61 (Heath) and 444-66B (Magnolia). --P
I regularly receive messages for this group with proper-looking titles and
all (Such as "Subject: cctech Digest, Vol 3, Issue 15" )
Am I alone? Whatever is generating these things is fairly clever to even
change the subject line to resemble the rising issue numbers of the current
volume. It makes me wonder if it is in the "cctech Digest" server. I
have never investigated what the removed content looks like to determine if
something is being incorrectly identified as a virus.

I just got a kit off ebay (Item # 3056408822) that is pretty much a complete
kit for working on HP 7905/06 type drives. Thing even includes an air
pressure guage :)
However, I actually HAVE most of the parts in this kit already, most of the
boards and the DSU. However, my DSU has most of it's switches broken off and
hasn't yet been tested. This also means I now have two alignment packs, two
extenders, etc. etc. As a result I'll be taking my partial kit to ebay to
recoup the costs of this complete kit. If anyone here is interested, let me
know within a few days and we can work out a trade or something before I go
the ebay route.
