I'm trying to track down a game I once saw in the late 1970s... my memory
of it is that it's an underwater game, where you move your sub from left
to right (side view of the world), and dodge obstacles like seaweed and
marine life.
There's a distinct possibility that this was on an APF Imagination Machine.
I do remember it was a brightly-colored game, and was *not* on something
common like an Apple ][. I was into PETs, so seeing a game of this color
and visual complexity was quite stunning at the time.
Does this ring any bells with anyone? Is there a good place to see
screen shots of APF games?
Thanks,

I've asked this from time to time, and googled many times, but can't find
the info. Does anyone have any documentation for a unibus "Standard
Memories" brand board designated "MM-144" or maybe "MM-114"?
Thanks!

Hello,
Does anyone know what this error code means?
1 1 1 1
-------------M7164-1-2-4-8---------------
0 0 0 1
-------------M7165-1-2-4-8---------------
it shows immediatly this code, no other combination after power up.
The Users Guide does not mention it.
I've remove W2 and W3 on both modules (for Q22/CD slots).
The qbus backplane only contains the uVAX II processor board and the
kda50.
Any idea what I could test on the module?
I tried >>> e 172150 (read IP register) but it's invalid.

I'm finally starting to look at my options for putting together some of my
DEC gear into complete refurbed systems. I was thinking of using an RA81
drive with my 11/45. However, best as I can eyeball it, the RA81 drive won't
fit into the H960 rack depth-wise (at least, with a proper back door on it
like mine has - and I want it to be able to close). The RA81 drives I have
are in a tall white corp cabinet, except two are in another H960 rack (which
has no back door). From looking at those two, I don't think a back door (on
my other 960 rack) would close (the two RA81's in the current 960 without
the back door looks like - ummm an amateur job).
Can someone confirm or deny, before I start going to the grief of racking
heavy drives & such?
Was also wrestling with the idea of whether to put an 11/34 into a
mid-height corp cab, or an H960. Which is more authentic, or are they both?
I don't recall seeing 34's in white corp cabs. If I did that, it would
probably use RL02's. I forget the disk requirements for a reasonable
RT11/TSX+ system, I think two RL02's may be cutting it close. Any advice?

Title says it. Can anyone point me to online data for this elderly
device? I'm trying to get mine working with a Compaticard IV on an older
'486 PC. For reasons I do not understand, the motor isn't starting
although the heads load and step properly. DC power looks fine going into
the drive, but the motor is not seeing any of it.

Hi all,
Might be offtopic, dunno, but does anyone know this thing? We're
looking at its floppy drive (which *seems* to be standard) but
cant read anything off its disks...
Cheers,
Fred

I'm looking for information on my VT340+. What I want is in Volume 1 of
the programming manual (the Text part, not the Graphics part). I've tried
google and looking on vt100.net, among other places.
What I'd really like to know is how to change colors while in text mode on
the VT340. It doesn't take ANSI color strings ( ESC [ x ; y x ), so it's
gotta be someting else if it is possible.
If anyone knows, I'd much appreciate the response : )
Thanks,
Pat

As faithful readers of The List will remember - I have three
DECserver 90L+ ethernet terminal servers - which I tried very hard to make
work like RS232 muxes - alas; I failed.
So I would like to offer two of them in trade for a pair of RS232 mux
boxen having 4 ports minimum, up to 8 or so - don't need more that 4 or 5
ports, but units having more are good too... and using some kind of
copper between them (no fiber units - I have copper everywhere in the
house, or soon will, but I'm too retro to be pulling glass around).
I do think I'll hang on to one of them to try and use in my upcoming
multi-purpose server scheme.
These seem to work nicely, they were taken out of service - they have
the power supplies and a four lengths of real Dec cable, along with 3 or
four BNC Tees. No terminators, unfortunately...
I'd like to do a straight swap - I'll ship FedEx anywhere in the world -
lemme know what you might have.
Cheers and let's all have a Nicer 04 - hmmm?

Hi All,
A belated New year to all of you.. may this yeas bring jobs to

That said.. I'm currently in the Northern California area (this
means SanFran-SanJose, I'm in Mountain View), so anyone in for
a drink and some food should drop me a line, either email or y
phone (650.814.4899) to meet up. I'm kinda planning on spending

Afternoon,
I have a working AT&T Gemini Electronic Blackboard system. Are you still
looking? I'm in New Jersey - home of all of MaBell. Any interest?
Thanks,
