Not sure how I got the following e-mail (spam?), but in case anyone's
interested, perhaps there are some useful bits to be found. I wonder
if they're auctioning off any DEC inventory from Compaq... didn't have
a chance to look through all of the inventory. It looks like minimum
bids are $200. Lots of Sun equipment. In case anyone's interested,
here's the info:

Hi,
Still sorting! Also found a Computer Systems Inc EXPANDABLE+ 64k S-100 memory card. I think it came out of the same system as the Computime cards. Does anyone have docs for this one?
Joe
Hi,
I've been sorting through some stuff and I came across a couple of Computime S-100 cards. One is SB880 CPU card with a Z-80 CPU and the other is a Computime UFDC-1 card (floppy drive controller with a 1795 FDC IC). Does anyone have docs for either of these?

Good morning.
I have a Tandy 1000 from Radio Shack.
It does not have any dos. The dos has to be loaded in before the system
will work. There is no printer as well.
Would you be interested in this computer?
Best Regards,
Timothy J. Rodger.

If he uses MCR on RSX, then shouldn't the command should be like:

MCR>[1,54]pip [*,*]kerm*.*,* /li
MCR>
ofcourse, if a catchall is active, it would pass the dir command eventually to
DCL as well, but I don't think this will happen if you enter the comand to the
explicit MCR> prompt
(You are then talking to your own copy of MCR, just for you. And the catchall
is not installed by default as far as I remember...)

in that case, go to the URL you referenced, and change your subscription
options so that you are set to 'nomail' - this will mean you do not receive
emails from the list, but as a list member you are still entitled to post to
it.

How little we really change... Between these mythical
"terrorists," and our own present regime in D.C., we're doing to ourselves
exactly what Soviet Communism had in mind for us at the height of the "cold
war." Our citizenry is becoming isolated from the rest of the world, and is
also being fairly neutralized in the scheme of both national and
international events...

For the most part this is true. However, I did manage to get W2Kpro
to run on a pair of SCSI based mini towers with P75s, 64Mb RAM, and 2.3Gb
single hard drives. Had 'em running as DHCP clients with ICS through an AMD
Duron 450 server, also running W2Kpro. It was a trip, but they worked...

I would like to do a bad sector scan on a RD52 connected to a RQDX1 (The
machine is a pdp11/73 without OS) prior to installing BSD2.11.Is there a
standalone program like zrqch0(only for RQDX3) that can be downloaded directly
to the pdp via vtserver and recognizes the RQDX1 , i.e. a version of zrqb or
something similar?
