Not news, others on this list may have seen...
But I believe this/was is the last TTL chip (eg. not LS, S, etc) on the
market.

Hello folks,
Would there happen to be some kind soul out there with a copy of DEC manual
EK-KA630-UG willing to make a xerox copy of it for me? I will reimburse you for
the cost of xeroxing, mailing, and your time, and even reward you extra for your
service to humanity.
It's the KA630 (MicroVAX II) CPU user's guide, actually a technical manual as it
was created back in the days when user's guides contained real information.
TIA,
MS
well, I have the microvax III cpu in my ba123, because I got tired of
the slow speed of the mvax II. I had to diddle with systartup, as it
could not figure out my configuration, but it has been running for nearly
10 years that way. The mvax III cpu had the S handles, i took them off.
I saw dialog on size limitations for hard drives on mvax II, perhaps only
2 gb possible? Anyway, I also use an Emulex QD01 to run a SCSI rewriteable
optical drive, so there are other means of getting SCSI.

Just to say that I've tried the soft disk2fdi to put
my old apple II disks into PC, and, it WORKS !!!!
BTW: the soft works too with C64, amiga, and other
disks too.... fantastic !!!

Has anyone seen any specs on what the current programs are using? Someone
said that the current mars rover was running Darwin on a PowerPC...which
I kind of doubt. Sounds like an urban legend that evolved from that
picture of the powerbooks in mission control.

I have two MVII's in a dec rack (5' high?), if anyone is interested.
Too big to ship, but if anyone in the northeast (I'm in CT) wants to
give them a good home, I can load it in my truck and bring them to you.
Unsure of memory, I think one has a SCSI controller in it, plus I have
some other boards around I'll throw in with the deal. Really would
rather get rid of the whole thing, rack and all, rather than part it
out.
Email me if you are interested. -- Pete

Given a hard copy, I would also be willing to produce a soft one. I don't know
of a scanner that I can attach to my MicroVAX, so I can't scan, but I would be
willing to retype the text and redraw the diagrams etc. in PostScript vector
graphics.
