Strange, I'd have figured that the strong BASIC nature of the OS would
appeal to you, given some of the HP stuff you mess with. OTOH, when you
throw in the RSX and RT-11 runtimes, it does get a little unusual, but
that's part of what makes it appealing to me :^)

Hi --
Funny, I just did the same thing with a VaxStation 3100 model 76 which was
running netbsd . . .
The OpenVMS Hobbyist site (www.montagar.com/hobbyist/) has a number of links to
OpenVMS software.

At least with the Mac, this isn't a good idea for long term use. It will
sometimes format the disk as DD if you tape over the HD sense hole, but
even if it does, you can pretty much count on the disk failing in a very
short period of time. I've never had a disk last more than a few
read/write sessions. After that, errors start occuring and you can't read
or write to it any more.
In many of the cases, the disk is usually hosed after this and won't take
a format back to HD anymore.
I can't say that I've really tried it outside of a Mac, so it might just
be a Mac thing that keeps it from working.
And despite the fact that some company made a hole puncher to make DD
disks into HD disks (I have one), that doesn't seem to work any better on
the Mac. In fact, in my findings, it works even worse as it rarely ever
even took the HD format in the first place, and when it did, it
immediatly starting having R/W errors and was unusable anyway.

I have six Applied Microtechnology Z80 computers, and
two Burr-Brown/Applied Microtechnology Z80 Computers available in Tucson.
The BB units use the STD buss and the others have a 22/44 pin card the
same size as the STD buss card (4 1/2 by 6).
The cards are the same except the bus.
There processor, ram memory, eprom memory, DA, AD, eprom programmer cards.
I have all the manuals and softwre for them. Also 5 1/4 and 8 inch drives
and power supplies for the disk drives. CP/M comes along also.
Must be picked up in Tucson before the end of the month.

Hi All,
Finally sorted out the licenses, and now have OpenVMS installed on my
MicroVAX 3100 80 (it was running netbsd)
Cool, learning vms is *fun* well its a challenge.
Does anyone know a good source for software for the VAX at all..

Given a plotter made in 1985. ROM checksum error appears at powerup.
The ROM has the numbers 0785-18078 Rev A 10-29-84 and the second ROM has
the numbers 07585-18076.
Anybody have the image of these ROMs so I can reburn them?

I read that the NASA is now searching for 8086 chips on ebay, as the supply on the market has almost disappeared.

Visiting a charity shop this week I found one of these ..
http://www.vintagecalculators.com/html/anita_1011_lsi.html
.. an Anita 1011 desktop calculator, 10 digit Nixie display
and all for the sum of Two pounds forty seven pence.
Apart from the rubber feet having melted into a marshmallow
like crusty sludge it's mint condition with the manual and
dust cover. Looks very pretty all lit up.
