I personally (at this time at least) don't have any need for such a program, but I can see where others might. Zane

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). > case 1) is better).

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

Help restoring early issues of Mark-8 Newsletter

by jack.rubin＠ameritech.net

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. Jack Rubin Wilmette, Illinois USA

What to do with power distribution boxes?

by gunther＠aurora.regenstrief.org

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, -Gunther

power switches...

by Edward.Tillman＠valero.com

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...
