All,
is anyone here familiar with installing and operating Info
Servers? I got word that they are pretty much the same as
a stripped-down MV3100, so installing the InfoServer CD on
such a machine (equipped with CD drive) should get us the
desired result...
Pse contact me off-list if you can help, and I'll summarize
here, later.
Thx,
Fred
Looks like there's a DEC MINC-11 in good condition to be
had for free in the North of England. Please, somebody go
save this thing from the skip! Maybe Adrian "Two Sheds"
Vickers can use it for a climate control system for his
garage... ;^)
Here's the post:

Message-ID: <20030228050737.11472.00000175(a)mb-fx.aol.com>
For anyone interested, I have a Digital
Minc-11, type RX02M-MD, serial number WS1840, with clock
and d/a plug-in modules, and Digital RX02 twin 10" floppy
disk drive unit. Also two keyboard/printer units, Digital
Decwriter II and III. Also one unopened and a part box of
8" floppies, and a box of manuals. In south Cumbria, England. Free
to take away. You will need a decent sized estate car or a
trailer. Otherwise going to skip.
Cheers
Eddie

Ade: I'm jealous is all. I get to go drive on the track every
now and again with a car club, but no racing. Oh, and that you
can get to this MINC and I can't of course... ;^)
Good luck all,

Hi all,
I'm trying to track down a 387 math coprocessor IC for an old 386-based
Linux box that's going to be doing a bit of numbercrunching for me. Has
anyone here got an AMD or Intel (AMD preferred) 387 coprocessor rated at
40MHz (-40 part number suffix) that would work correctly with an AMD
Am386DX-40? No, before you ask, the 386DX does *not* have a built in
mathco - the 486DX was (IIRC) the first DX-series chip with a built-in
coprocessor.
Thanks.

My name is at the top of the list for a Stratus high availability server that
is going out of service.
Is there anyone here interested in these machines?
This has dual G86010 cpu's, expansion cabinet. It was recently in use as a
test switch for an ATM network.
There is a second machine that will be available in a years time.
Is it a simple task to switch a machine from 220 20a to run off household
current 110 15a?
>It never made it to CNN or MSNBC.
MSNBC's web site also altered a story the other day regarding Osama bin
Ladin and Iraq. The first release made mention that bin Ladin was calling
his people to kill Hussein. Then, when the US held a press briefing on
the same topic, and tried to make it sound as if bin Ladin was in cahoots
with Hussein, MSNBC suddenly altered their story, removing the reference.
No explination to the change. Could have been an error, could have been
an oversite, could have been a request by someone... could have been
anything. Point is, the story took a change to reflect the US governments
desired position on the topic, and they just pretened it had always been
that way.
Humm... does Winston Smith work for MSNBC?

A few weeks ago, I got a rather nice PDP-11/34 (34A, turnkey front panel)
>from a scrap yard. They had two identical systems being used in some sort of
electronic testing devices. I only got one system because the other one
looked like it had been hit by a forklift a couple times. It wasn't in great
shape, so I salvaged some cards from it (CPU, memory, DELUA, drive
controller, UNIBUS utility stuff...).
My system is in very nice shape though. And along with the CPU, I also got
two RC25 drives, along with controllers and cables. I've never seen these
before. Can anyone tell me anything about them? They look like nice drives,
but I've never really heard much about them.
Anyway, this will be my third 11/34. Of the other two, I still have (and
very much like) one, and one has been passed on to another list member.
Anyway, more questions on recent acquisitions to come shortly, I'm sure.

Its amazing what some people throw out.
I just got back from a bit of dumpster diving. I pulled from a sizable
bin:
2 - HP LJ III (but only one letter size paper tray)
HP LJ 4
HP LJ 5L
about 25 Meridian phones, and left probably as many behind. I wasn't able
to find the KSU so I didn't bother pulling any more phones out.
Some various Digital parts and cables consisting of at least: a dot
matrix looking printer, a "Remote Services Console Unit" (whatever that
is, looks like maybe a terminal switch box), a A/B switch box, looks like
maybe for printers. It has a plastic key taped to the top, that I am
guessing goes to the actual DEC CPU, but I wasn't able to find that. A
keyboard. A whole bunch of cables. Possibly some manuals, maybe other
stuff (at times I was just shoveling things into my van without really
looking at it)
Assorted power, phone, and printer cables
Canon Laser Faxmachine
2 - 14" VGA monitors.
Royal timeclock
Epson FX-256 printer manual (didn't realize I grabbed it, I left the
printer behind).
2 Ribbons for the FX-256
1up and 3up tractor feed address labels (a box of each)
2 Platronics Headset bases (but only one headset)
A Karioke machine
Maybe more stuff... I haven't sorted thru it all yet, I'll probably start
that task Monday.
Things I left behind (that I saw): Epson FX-256 printer, 3- SilentWriter
Faxmachines, Panasonic Electronic Typewriter, Princeton EGA(?) monitor,
PS2 keyboard (label said it had bad keys), AT keyboard (I broke it while
extricating it, I didn't realize I was standing on it when I pulled on
the corner). 25 or more Meridian phones and cables.
I wasn't able to find the Meridian KSU, nor the DEC CPU. But they could
be down there somewhere, along with who knows what else. It was getting
cold, and my flashlight was getting dim. I don't think I will bother
going back, so if anyone else is in my area and wants to dig, the
dumpster is outside the Gold's Gym behind Paramas Park Mall in Paramus NJ
(Actually outside the Weight Watchers, but most people know the building
by the Golds Gym. I think Weight Watchers is the one tossing everything
judging by the actual garbage that is in the dumpster, but the phones
look like too many for them, so they might be from the Remax realestate
also in that building, they would also make more sense on the computer
equipment). I will probably stop in to Weight Watchers and Remax Monday
at lunch and ask if they are the ones tossing the stuff, and if so, if
they still have the KSU and the DEC CPU, and if they are tossing them as
well.
