Are you still looking for copies of the TAM disks? I have a complete set, and will complete whatever you're missing. Let me know what you can trade, or send me the number of blanks and a postage paid mailer... David

Any Procomm experts out there?

by rigdonj＠cfl.rr.com

Hi, I need some help with Procomm. I've been trying to log onto an Intel 320 computer that runs iRMX. I have a terminal connected to the Intel and I've been able run the diagnostics and to load the OS and boot up but didn't have the correct account names or passwors to log into the system. I searched the net last night and found some iRMX manuals. Read them and found a couple of default account names and passwords. Today I tried them on the 320. The Superuser password didn't work but one of the regular account names and password did work so I was able to get into the system. :-) But once it logged in it executed the user profile and that changed the terminal setting so that all I got was garbage. :-( (I'll go back to reading and see if there's a way to stop it from executing the user profile.) I also tried using a PC with Procomm as a terminal. Procomm will emulate a lot of terminals and I thought that maybe one of them would display properly. But I could never get Procomm to work. It always said "Off-line" and I could never get anything to display on the screen. Data was going out to the computer and data was coming back from it but none of it showed up on the screen or in the log file. Any ideas? I'm guessing some kind of handshaking problem. I connected up my data display boxs with about six LEDs connected to the most important signal lines and everything looked fine so it must be one of the less common signals. I used the same cable and connected it to a terminal and set it for the same baud rate, # of data and stop bits, parity etc and it worked fine. Also tried another cable and it worked for the terminal but not for the PC with Procomm. I have used this same PC with Procomm and the same cable to successfully connect to other older Intel boxs with no trouble. Anyone have any idea why Procomm doesn't recognize this system? Joe

UK: tape winder? Atlas Autocode charset (flexowriter)

by aek＠spies.com

A better solution would be to write a program that does a simple array-based look-up. Assuming the Flex-o-writer uses EBCIDC, here's a chart that might be handy -- you mean, like the one I posted here yesterday? does ANYONE bother to read my posts here? FWIW, it is NOT EBCIDC, and has upper/lower case state which has to be remembered.

Reading a VMS CD-ROM for SIMH under Windows?

by david＠bitsolve.com

Guys, it gets better... I've got a working ISO and can boot to the SYSBOOT> prompt (b/10000001 dua3) from sys1 on the CD but the system Fails to boot further reporting DUA3 (CD/ISO) has been write locked And mount verification is in progress.. I have seen this reported elsewhere for the 7.2 hobbyist kit.. So what's the fix?? How do I boot a vax without a vax (simh) Installation? Do I need to beg a dummy (minimal) system disk file from someone?(DUA0) David David at bitsolve dot com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- My RRD43 reads CDR's fine. BTW, I know it was asked, but not sure if it was answered. I have read VMS install CD's into PC ISO files using Nero, then used them with SIMH to create a VMS system from scratch. I've also read the same discs with Easy CD Creator (don't remember which version) and although the files were slightly different sizes, they still worked fine. I know I gave someone on this forum (was it you, Ethan?) some ISO's... They were made with Easy CD Creator. - Bob -----Original Message----- From: cctalk-admin(a)classiccmp.org [mailto:cctalk-admin@classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of Ethan Dicks Sent: Friday, February 28, 2003 1:38 PM To: cctalk(a)classiccmp.org Subject: RE: Reading a VMS CD-ROM for SIMH under Windows? --- Antonio Carlini <arcarlini(a)iee.org> wrote: > I've not actually attempted to use the results with SIMH, so all I'm > reporting is that CDRWin is reading *something* from the CD!

UK: tape winder? Atlas Autocode charset (flexowriter) conversion?

by gtoal＠gtoal.com

Chris Whitfield and Ian Young have interfaced the borrowed optical paper tape reader that we were kindly loaned and have it working on a PC. Before we go to the site that has the paper tapes (several dozens) does anyone have a winder we could borrow to save winding them all back up by hand? Also before I write it (I have some paper documentation to work from describing the Atlas Autocode character set, which is from the Flexowriter printers that were attached to it) does anyone already have any code to convert from the flexowriter char set to ascii in any form? We're hoping to get a copy of the Atlas Autocode compiler on paper tape... Graham
