I've tried a number of different lengths of time in holding the test
button. Its possible that it is in fact resetting, but I see no visual
indication of it, so I can't tell.
If it is resetting, it still isn't taking a BootP assigned IP, and is
erroring out when I connect it to the network. If it was one unit, I
would assume its broken... but two units doing the exact same thing, I
think I am doing something wrong, and I hope a manual may tell me what
that is.

I'm not sure if this is older than 10 years yet, but people on this list
have a library of manuals, so I'm asking anyway.
Does anyone have a manual to an HP JetDirect EX print server device?
Specifically model number J2382.
I'm trying to find out how to default it to factory settings, and how to
get in and change configurations. Holding the TEST button on power up
doesn't seem to do default it (or if it is, it isn't clearing the error
condition, but that might also be because it isn't taking the BootP info
for its IP address).
I have two doing the same thing, and I tend to doubt both are broken, so
I'm guessing that the manual HP has on their site for the EX Plus doesn't
have the right directions for it (not too surprised).
So, anyone have that manual?

Hello,
I've recently aquired a model 43 Teletype with a paper tape reader/punch,
which makes the unit an ASR43. It looks very much like the one described
here: http://www.vauxelectronics.com/gil/tty/M43.htm
I'm interested in finding a manual and/or any documentation that might
still exist for it. Scans and/or copies would be fine.
Thanks!

First, a confession... I test databases for a living!
Having said that, I'm remarkably ignorant when it comes to the process of
actually manually shoving great wedges of data into them...
I'm trying to design a database to catalogue the Corestore collection. It's
my intention ultimately to construct a database-driven website to make much
more of the collection publically-accessible - the present website is
woefully out of date and generally inadequate.
I can design the backend database no problem - I'll probably use DB2, create
tables with the fields you would expect - catalogue number, manufacturer,
serial number, date, free-text description, etc etc. Also binary fields to
hold images, if it's an artifact worth photgraphing, and data, if it's a
data artifact - e.g. if it's a disk pack or paper tape, an image file of the
contents.
What I'm looking for is some suggestion as to a 'ready to use' front-end
data entry package that would be suitable. Critical to this is the ability
to drag and drop, for instance, .jpg images into the appropriate data fields
- there are going to be so many of these that the idea of typing path or
file names into something doesn't bear thinking about. I've no idea where to
start with this - my career testing databases has lef tme clueless on how to
go about data entry!
Suggest anyone willing to assist replies via email, unless they feel that
discussion of this topic on the list would be helpful to others.
TIA

>P.S. The few accidents I have been in (none of which involved another
>vehicle if I was at fault - I always steer for the ditch in times of
>trouble) I *never* wore the belt, and I *always* walked away from them.
And you are LUCKY!
I can say this, not from some "study" that was done, but from hands on
experience. In the last 13 years, I have operated roughly 6 major motor
vehicle accidents a year, so figure roughly 78 major car accidents.
Extricated an average of 3 people per accident, so I've cut roughly 230
people out of cars.
So out of 230 people... exactly TWO have sustained fewer injuries as a
direct result of not wearing a seat belt. I know both incidents well as
for both of them, we looked and said, "WOW, lucky they didn't wear their
seatbelt today or this could have been much worse".
I can't tell you how many I have looked at and said "if only they had
their seatbelt on, they would probably be walking away right now".
And I haven't seen an accident yet that the person sustained greater
injuries due to the seatbelt (this is a tough thing to judge, so I am
basing it off the types of injuries they sustained and where the car was
damaged and where they may have been thrown had they not worn their
seatbelt).
Much of the "myth" that seatbelts cause greater injuries are based on
facts BEFORE shoulder straps were in use. Lap belts only can cause
greater injuries, but that is why they moved to shoulder straps as well
(and airbags are a wonderful creation for the occupants... horrible for
EMS workers if they don't deploy on impact... they have a frightening
tendency to fail)
So if you want to continue to gamble on that 0.8% chance that you will
walk away because of not wearing a belt, go right ahead. Me... I buckle
up every time I am in a car, regardless of what seat I am in (and I won't
move a car I am driving until the front passenger is buckled in... I do
leave rear seats up to the riders).
Oh, but I do have to agree with you... if you fail to wear a belt, it is
you that gets hurt, no one else. I have not seen ONE accident where
someone that failed to wear a belt caused a greater injury on anyone but
themselves. (However, I can give you stories of load shift that have
caused greater injuries... in my opinion, it is more dangerous to have
unsecured objects in the car than unsecured passengers).

Yep, had read about that a few months ago.
See my text on the website:
www.pdp-11.nl/pdp11-35/memory/core-intro.html
MRAM is described (brief) at the end. Also has
a link to a Motorola article!

Hey folks,
There is some interesting (and heavy) IBM unit record equipment up
for auction on ebay. View
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=1247&item=27353
14909
and click on "View Seller's Other Auctions" for the whole list:
IBM 077 collator
IBM 083 sorters (two)
IBM 088 collator plugboards and manual only
IBM 548 alphabetic interpreter
IBM 129 keypunch
Documation RM600LCC card reader
The minimum bids are reasonable for all but the Documation reader.
It's interesting and relatively rare stuff -- shouldn't be let to go
to scrap.
Also, I got my Documation reader working tonight -- it was misreading
because of worn feed rollers. I learned a lot about the these
machines trying to diagnose and fix that. The USB interface is
finished and working now (if anyone wants the schematic and code,
write to me), and I was able to read in the system load deck for
APL\1130. So -- sometime in the next few weeks the IBM 1130 emulator
will have APL and a bunch of other old code I have here on cards.

Looks like the Univac III lot actually may have resulted in a sale. Check
it out:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2733726990&category=1247…
The one who bought it seems like a good guy (you can read his "Me"
profile).

I've just gotten one, without the instruction manual, of course.
Seems that it needs to save to HP-IB instruments and so forth, also
can us HP-IL....
I'll have to see if I can find data on HP-IL, might be worth rolling
an interface for it, or just stick to the IEEE-488....
Question: Is this model supposed to be able to remember setups
between sessions, or does it lose its memory when the power goes off?
Kinda silly for HP to design it like that, so I wonder if there's not
a backup battery that's down.
