S_L_O_W downloads with Adobe Acrobat was Re: Information about a HP 13197 1K WCS for the HP 1000?

by swtpc6800＠comcast.net

Here is a note from the Mentor Graphics SupportNet site. (I work for Mentor.) Michael Holley www.swtpc.com/mholley Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.0 Issue There is a bug within Acrobat 6 which causes SupportNet incompatibility. This issue was identified by Adobe as a known issue with the Acrobat Reader 6.0. This version of the reader is not capable of handling the HTTP headers generated by the SupportNet security system. Solution 1: Save the PDF file to your hard drive, and open it in Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader. 1. Right-click the link to the PDF file on the Web site, and then choose Save Target As (Internet Explorer) or Save Link As (Netscape Navigator) from the pop-up menu. 2. In the Save As dialog box, select a location on the hard disk, and then click Save. 3. Double-click the PDF file to open it in Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader. Solution 2: Disable Web Browser Integration. 1. In Acrobat or Adobe Reader, choose Edit > Preferences > Internet. 2. Deselect Display PDF in Browser, and then click OK. Solution 3: Use Acrobat 5.x. Remove Acrobat 6.0 or Adobe Reader 6.0, and then install Acrobat 5.x. You can download the free Acrobat Reader 5.1 from the Adobe Web site at www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/alternate.html

S_L_O_W downloads with Adobe Acrobat was Re: Information about a HP 13197 1K WCS for the HP 1000?

Last week I was having a LOT of trouble downloading PDF files from Al's website. Adobe Acrobat was taking about ten minutes just to open the first page and I couldn't get any pages beyond the first one. Erik suggested that I right click on the file and save it without opening Adobe Acrobat. I tried that and it worked MUCH better. However Al said that I should be able to open the PDF file with Acrobat and read it and then save it without any problems. That agrees with what I knew about PDFs. Anyway I've been wondering what was going on so today I typed "Why is Adobe Acrobat slow" into Google and I got some interesting results. I found LOTs of reviews of Acrobat version 6 that also complained about it being SO SLOW. Some of the reviewers suggesting sticking with Version 4. Following their advice I uninstalled my current version of Acrobat (ver 5.something) and then went to oldversions.com and downloaded version 4 and installed it. It works MUCH MUCH better! If you're having problems with Acrobat being slow. Try removing it and then installing version 4 and see if that helps. It works for me!

That's what I thought! But I tried saving the files directly and it worked MUCH better. I could save an 18 Mb file in a couple of minutes that way. Using Acrobat I couldn't even get one page in the same time. I tried to open and save a 9Mb file last week and it ran for over 2 1/2 hours and only got about 1/4 of the file before a power glitch crashed the computer. No idea why Acrobat slows things down so much. It doesn't seem to be a problem on small files but the time seems to go up exponentally with file size. I see people reading docs this >way all the time. > >To answer the original question, the WCS card is documented in the >1000 M/E/F Engineering Reference >http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/hp/1000/1000_MEF_EngrRef/ I couldn't find a specific docs for it but I thought it might be in the Engineering Reference. I downloaded it this afternoon but haven't had a chance to look through it yet. Thanks, Joe > >92851-90001_Mar81_6.pdf section B > >

"Woz" IIgs, & Dynabyte computers...

by dwoyciesjes＠comcast.net

Anybody looking for these? I was at Computer Recycling & Refining in North Branford, CT today. Not a bad place. About 2000 square feet. And a bunch of stuff. Two interesting things I saw were a "Woz" signed IIgs (?) and a Dynabyte computer. According to the guy there, it was the first portable? Considering it's about the size of a couple mid-tower PCs, it's not really that portable... Either way, both are for sale. Give them a call, 203-488-0535. If you looking for some other PC or Mac computers or parts (pallets), maybe some HP switched hubs (at least 1 pallet), or even a couple large Cisco Catalyst 5500 units; they may be able to help you out. They welcome visitors, just call in advance... -- ---Dave Woyciesjes ---ICQ# 905818

Id this Teletype machine

by n8uhn＠yahoo.com

The ug numbers are military numbers. fair radio in lima ohio used to sell this "type" (pun) of surplus gear. they were used for landline and radio teletype (rtty). nadcom (or is it nadcomm?) (i cannot remember thier web addy) may have more info - they are a teletype museum and do have some mil stuff in thier collection. Bill Message: 26 Date: Tue, 04 Nov 2003 20:11:34 -0500 From: Joe <rigdonj(a)cfl.rr.com> Subject: OT: Id this Teletype machine To: cctalk(a)classiccmp.org Message-ID: <3.0.6.32.20031104201134.00800100(a)pop-server.cfl.rr.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Last week I drug home a Teletype machine just seconds before it was going to be tossed in a dumpster but I can't identify it. It LOOKS like a model 28 KSR Compact as seen at <http://www.vauxelectronics.com/gil/tty/teletype_corp.htm> but the only id tag that I can find on it says TT-187A/UG. Inside is another tag that says MX-1114A/UG Keyboard. Can anyone id it from those numbers? Also found a second piece that looks the M28 Transmitter-Distributer shownon the same page. The label in it says CY-871/UG TT-69A/UG. I need help id'ing this one too. The property on it says that it came from McDonald Douglas and that it's a "reader, tape".

Is there a physicist in the house?

by rhudson＠cnonline.net

Heisenberg says we can't know the speed of <thing> and it's location at the same time. What if I concentrate on location while timing <thing> ie <thing> is at "5" and 1 second later it's at "35" is it not going "30" per second? and while it was going 30 per second didn't I see it at 5 and 35? (note to a real physicist this question is probably meaningless...)

Sometime today I'll try to look to see if there's anything too obvious > that's wrong (eg missing 4MHz clock signal). Yes, it is straight-through. One of mine has 8" of old 40-pin ribbon cable from an Acorn 2nd Processor, vintage 1985 or so, and it works fine. The back of the bulkhead connector is just a dual row of pins on 0.1" centres, and an ordinary female header fits perfectly. Of course, depending on which way up you have the bulkhead connector, you might need a half-twist in the ribbon cable. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York
