I have a copy of HPUX 11.0, but I can't seem to boot off the CD. It says
"Bad LIF magic" when I do a boot 52.2.0.0 etc etc. How does one get
these things loaded up with an OS?

I was somewhat surprised, but happy that my G40 installed HPUX
11i.
It seems to run ok, but slow with the default 128M memory.
Just added 256M, and will be running more tests soon.

Hi
I just stumbled across your message ( I think it was you that started it )
asking for a substitute for TIL306 displays
I have infact got ten TIL306RS displays in my parts bins
Maybe you have allready found a local source for them and so dont need them
any more
As for cost I know I was surprised at how expensive they were when I bought
them but if your interested in any then make me an offer plus postage ( UK
Funds only)

Thanks to all who helped! I checked out my backplane (NOW I see why the 44's
always tilt up in the rack, so you can frequently get to the backplane
wiring) and sure enough, missing NPR jumpers. I wire wrapped them back in
(laughing at just how long ago it was since I had to use a wirewrap tool)
and now - voila. The 44 comes up just fine, passing T, T/E, and T/A tests
anyways. I can also deposit and examine a random memory location or two,
probably a good sign.
Now I just have to find out why it doesn't seem to think I have a TU58
attached...then get some RL02's up...
Another question - I was perusing the net for what OS's I can run on the 44.
I already have RT11 with TSX+ up on another machine, so on this one I was
looking for something different. Being as my bent is multiuser basic
machines (like HP2000 TSB), I was piqued by some references to EduSystem25 I
think it's called. I got the impression it USED to be Poly BASIC, but that
software was later acquired by DEC and turned into the EduSystem25. There
was a link saying where EduSystem25 can be found, but alas, the link is
dead. Does anyone know where manuals and media might be found for
EduSystem25?
Thanks!

Not only is it limited to emulators, but it's also limited to emulators
owned by DEC. The actual verbage in the license is:
"EMULATOR shall mean software owned by Digital Equipment Corporation that
emulates the operation of a PDP-11 processor and allows PDP-11 programs and
operating systems to run on non-PDP-11 systems."
It's commonly accepted that this means SIMH, as Bob Supnik was a DEC VP at the
time. You can see the complete license at my website:
http://www.aracnet.com/~healyzh/pdp11emu.html
There is a Hobbyist License in the works that would allow certain versions
of the OS's that Mentec has to be run on real hardware. Some unfortunate
circumstances have held it up though.

Almost the last item in my Transputer collection is now up on Ebay -
this is a boxed B012 clone (Transtech TMB12) with 4 20MHz T805 TRAMs on
board.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2308085144 if
anyone's interested.
Still to come is an Inmos analogue TRAM.

They think it's a PDP-8 panel, but I highly doubt that given:
(0) It's got 24 bits, or maybe 18 + 6 if you look closely.
(1) The switches are the wrong color
(2) No "|D|I|G|I|T|A|L| PDP-8" anywhere on it
(3) Doesn't look like any PDP-8 I've ever seen
So what is it?

A friend seems to have come into a pile of Exabyte 8505XL and tapes.
18gb IIRC. Supposedly for Suns, but perusing Exabyte's site shows that
they'll fit in just about everything except Mac. Any interest? Anyone
know what they might be worth?

P-mail reply please. Judging from some of the other lists I'm on, the
moon seems to be in an intolerant to OT posts phase.

Anybody have any interest in a VaxStation 3000?
Looks clean, no monitor or kbd.
BTW is there a faq about hooking up a VGA monitor to a
Vaxstation video connector?

George
