7 people died. 7 people die all the time. These 7 happened to be astronauts. Big deal.

Strainge VAXserver 2000 card? (more info)

by Fred.van.Kempen＠microwalt.nl

Indeed, the card I plucked out of the expansion box is only the card with the board's line drivers and faceplate. The real board is inside the machine, and looks to be a regular MV2000/3100 expansion board. Since someone already mentioned that their serial expander has the centronics-like connector for the H3104 on the faceplate, this *must* then be the sync-serial ("X.25") one. See the new pics at: http://www.microwalt.nl/Fred/VAXlab/VS2000-OPT-1.JPG http://www.microwalt.nl/Fred/VAXlab/VS2000-OPT-2.JPG http://www.microwalt.nl/Fred/VAXlab/VS2000-OPT-3.JPG [new] http://www.microwalt.nl/Fred/VAXlab/VS2000-OPT-4.JPG [new] These are the 1280x1024 ones., for clarity of the card's details. --fred

OT Avalanches (was: Columbia)

I never could get one finished as once the walls started to curve >I couldn't get the layers to stick long enough to close the thing up and >complete it. An igloo is a very stable structure, but a half-finished >one isn't at all stable... In boy scouts, we cheated. We used a plastic box to make the packed cubes, and a spray bottle of water to make the blocks stick together. A light misting on the top edge of a block, then press the next block down onto it and hold for a second... igloo superglue! It worked well enough to get the structure finished... alas we didn't make it big enough for all of us in the troop to fit inside (10 of us?), and the pushing and shoving that followed made quick work of tearing it back down. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

Any good sources of MFM or RLL drives. This would be for a Tandy 6000 running Xenix. I'm looking for 70 Meg or higher MFM (110 RLL capacity). Thanks, Kelly

by cb＠mythtech.net

Picked this up from the LEM-Swap list, passing it on in case anyone was interested. Reply to him, not me. ---- Subject: [swap] OT; Commodore 64 Date: 2/7/03 8:26 AM Received: 2/7/03 9:25 AM From: Nick Hull, nhull(a)mindspring.com I need to get rid of a pair of Commodore 64 computers. Is there any group that handles these? I hate to just trash things when someone might actually want some. ---- -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

Does this open up the market to sell used big iron to drug dealers? This way they can justify their extra power usage and heat output.
