Well if you have an HP9000 computer running HP-UX you can use dd to
get a copy of the disk image.

catalog of the first partition.
NetBSD (an Open Source Unix clone) supports the HP 9000 architecture
so the kernel source code (available from www.netbsd.org) contains
drives to access cs80 mass storage devices over HP-IB.

Hi Don
I've gotten this several times on my hotmail account as
well. I just hope that most people are not stupid enough
to ask for it and put it on their machines. I doubt anyone
on this list is that stupid so mining list list would be
a waste of time.

Just picked these up today, "helping to clean out" a room in my department
at Purdue. I now have a small VAX/VMS Orange Wall:
- Basic User's Manual
- Basic Reference Guide
- System Manager's manual Volumes 1-6
- Guide to VAX/VMS Disk and Magnetic Tape Operations
- 8" Floppy:
"AS-1T215G-DE 071812
RX41 11780 EUROPE RD CONSOLE
PROPERTY OF DEC
(C)1981,84 Digital Equipment Corporation"
-- has a sticker with the number "18" on it.
- "Introduction to the PDP-11/80
Resource Sharing Timesharing System/Extended (RSTS/E)
G.F. Wyncott
William I. Bormann"
106 pages.
-- George Wyncott still works here, and does software licensing for
Purdue. Marked "W0 RSTS (3/86)" - presumably from March 1986?
- "RSTS/E Device Requests" by Jeffrey L. Clark, "(11/79) W0-DEVICE".
19 pages.
I'm hoping to get time to scan the last two documents, which are
interesting to read, and possibly somewhat helpful to RSTS/E people.
Also, they don't have Copyrights on them, so I'll try to get them posted
to my website.
If anyone is interested in a copy of anything here, let me know off-list.

It's highly possible that the NVRAM's lithium battery will have
died ("gone flat") by now. This is the case with both the AV410
and AV4300 I have. My AV530s/5500 seem to be okay, but it's just
a matter of time before they face the same problem.
The machines with dead NVRAM will give some cryptic indication
of the problem like printing "IDPROM" and nothing else, and
refuse to initialize/boot on power-up.
'r. bear stricklin' was collecting NVRAM dumps for analysis, so
we can try to load usable data into replacement parts, but I've
no idea where that stands. I haven't bothered getting a part to
see if, like Suns, the machine will function at all with an
uninitialized NVRAM. Anyway if you search the archive for his
name or Aviion I'm sure you'll find the relevant post. Or head
to this URL: http://www.bears.org/~red/museum/aviion-nvram.html
The 88k Aviions were frequently SMP capable, though unless you've
got rackmount or square/big deskside units they're probably just
2-way. If you think the daughter card on yours is a second CPU
complex, look for a chip marked 88100 or 88110; those are the
CPUs. The 88200's or 88410 are cache/MMU chips.
DG/UX will support SMP out of the box. It's a decent enough SVR4
implementation, with X11 (R?) and some sort of logical volume
system. If you're looking for media I may be able to help out,
contact me directly/off-list (smj0302 _ crash _ com).

If you dig around under there, there's a wealth of PDF files
about various models. Operations guides, some about installing
options and upgrading, low-level programming for a few models.
There's been sporadic interest in getting *BSD running on the
Aviions, but little activity. OpenBSD runs on several Motorola
88k boards, and I've recently managed to assemble the parts for
a complete system, but that's as far as it's gone. I have no
history porting OSes, and I'm much more focused on trying to
find a job now, so you don't want to hold your breath waiting
for me...

In the hope that others can mirror them, I've put up over 1000
DEC manuals from the late 80's and early 90's up on the web. They
hardly seem "classic" to me, since when I started collecting computers
these items were brand new, but they *do* meet the 10-year definition!
http://www.trailing-edge.com/~shoppa/dec94mds/
Again, if you do set up a publicly-accessible mirror for these I would
appreciate it. The last thing I want to do is hoard stuff I've been
sitting on for many years.

Isn't the model that has 4 50Mhz CPU's? If so that *IS* a *VERY COOL* find!
You can probably boot it in single user mode and clear the password.

Hi.
I ran across an Amiga 2000 yesterday, with the front of the case
silk-screened "Video Toaster Powered". No cables, keyboard, docs, or
anything else, but the price was right.
The motherboard is probably junk. The battery has leaked and etched
a pretty large area, plus the GVP 030 accelerator (A3001) has dumped
rubber sludge on the board. The rubber button on the back of the board
*melted* and ran like hot fudge.
http://amiga.resource.cx/gallery/A3001-50-back.jpg shows the button
intact. Beware; that's a half-meg pic.
There is a RAM-32 daughterboard, too, with 2x 4MB SIMMs,
http://amiga.resource.cx/gallery/A3001-RAM32.jpg
and a GVP SCSI hardcard with a 340MB drive and no DRAMs installed.
The Video Toaster boardset is labeled v1.0, but there's a sticker
that reads "Eval Board 08/90" It's cabled to a Faruodja Labs board, a
"Y/C Separator Board".
http://amiga.resource.cx/photos/photo.pl?id=ycp100
Also installed are 2 ISA cards by RGB Computers and Video.
http://amiga.resource.cx/photos/photo.pl?id=amilink
The short card I have has only 3 BNC connectors - positions 1. 3, and
5, and the long card has only the bottom two.
I have another working 2000, so I could replace the motherboard, but
I'm not sure I'd gain anything. I have a bunch of questions. I'm not
really an "Amiga person", so don't assume any reasonable level of prior
knowledge.
Where the heck is the video out? I know zip about Video Toaster and
even less about the Amilink adapters. All the online documentation
assumes I know the basics, like how to hook the durned thing up....
Are there docs for the original VT? Software?
I have an OpalVision, with documentation and software. Which is the
better board for general futzing around? For animation & graphics?
Any docs or software at all for the Amilink setup?
Are the SIMMs for the A3001 unobtainium? I have a 33MHz CSI
"Derringer 030" in the other 2000, but I don't like the clearance
between the top of the accelerator and the drive bay - basically none.
Plus, a 50MHz 68030 would be much nicer than a 33MHz. The hardware
database page claims that the RAM-32 board needs 4x 1MB SIMMs installed
to use the 2 4MB sticks, but this one just has 2x 4MB in the top two
slots. Is the database page smoking crack?
I haven't seen any pics or mention of the A2000 with the Toaster
label on front. I get the impression that this machine is pretty much
original - that it wasn't built a piece at a time. Anyone know
anything about that?
Thanks. Any pointers or help would be appreciated.
