OK, the way you wrote the initial statement I figured it might be pre OS-X
code. I personally (at this time at least) don't have any need for such a
program, but I can see where others might.

If there are they'd be DECUS utilities most likely. I'm not aware of any
either.

Once you've got access to the disks under SIMH, you should be able to back
the data up to virtual tapes, which you should be able to find tools to
access (as long as you back the data up to the right tape format).

So, is this Mac program something that will build on a standard UNIX system?
Zane
Perfect. Thanks.

Hello, all:
This might sound like a "you should know this" kind of question, but
what was the default CPU speed for the Altair 8800/8800a/8800b models? Is it
1MHz or 2MHz?
Rich
2MHz

I have a 1991 vintage AS/400 9404, located in New Jersey, with original
QIC120 distribution of system software through 1993 OS/400 v3 and *ALL*
manuals. In storage since 1995, but working then. Would you want this
machine or could you point me to someone who might?
Thank you.

It was 2-MHz. Here is a site about the 8800

At least the first 3 issues of the Mark-8 Newsletter were published by
Hal Singer using a ditto machine. I have copies of these issues which
range in quality from faded and smeared to _really_ faded and smeared. I
would like to try to "restore" these items to readable form - anybody
have any ideas? The worst pages are faded beyond simply photocopying
and/or OCR - I'm wondering if there may be some way to chemically "lift"
the images, UV light, etc.
As near as I can tell, all the information in these issues was re-issued
in the first three issues of the Micro-8 Newsletter (archived at Jim
Kearney's site), so no actual info is at risk, but it would be nice to
at least share .pdfs of the "real" issues.
Any interest in .pdfs of the Micro-8 Newsletter? As Jim notes, the
originals were none too easy to read, but I may try messing around with
them if anyone cares.

Hi folks, geez, I have to clean out my garage. I can't do anything
with the computers anymore because I have no room to move. So, stuff
must go. I had already given 3 StorageWorks cabinets to the recycler
but had removed the power distribution boxes. Now I have a half
dozen of those boxes with the HUGE power cables sitting around. Is
there any use for those or should I just toss them too?
I also have rackmount kits for StorageWorx boxes, lots of them. So,
if you have those boxes and want them rack-mounted, let me know, else
these things will go to the recycler too.
thanks for your ideas,

Does anyone know wehere I can locate a power switch for an AT power supply
that has the 4 bayonettes pointed directly aft, opposite the switch, rather
than coming out the casing at 90 degrees to the switch? I have a tight spot
to fit the switch, and the original DEC proprietary switch was a soldered-on
intrigal part of the power supply... Help?
Cheers...
