Got a Perq 2T1 with the KME 1514 portrait monitor - the display on the
front of the unit gets as far as 999 on power-up so it's looking
reasonably healthy. Only problem is an unstable display; it seems to be
missing out every 4th or so scanline, plus there's some horizontal
instability (I can see what appear to be characters on the display, but
they aren't readable at all)
Anything prone to giving up in these monitors? From looking on the web
it appears they have a few custom parts in them :( (of course it's
*possible* the fault is in the system, not the monitor I suppose)
Oh, and if anyone's dishing out Perq wisdom there's also a Perq 1 with a
display fault too - on that one the image is centered on the screen, but
squashed into about 80% of the normal width, and maybe 10% of normal
height. It's also very non-rectangular in nature.

I have just finished listing a bunch of HP, Tektronix and Fluke manuals
on E-bay including several Logic Analyzer manuals. I've also listed sevel
books of particular interest to this list including a Synertek data book
showing the Super Jolt, SYM-1 and System 65 computers; an IBM Selectric I/O
manual; a front panel for some kind of military computer; an AIX
installation manual; and a manual for a Motorola EXORbus 6800 SBC.

Does anyone know if CMU TCP/IP is still available anywhere? I was
going to try installing that and gcc on my VAX running VAX/VMS 5.x (I
don't recall the exact version number, since I haven't used it for a
while), but couldn't find anyplace to download it from. Since I seem
to recall the vax having kermit installed, I'm figuring that, since
I've installed latd on my FreeBSD box, I can just invoke kermit on
both machines and copy files over the LAT connection. Will that work?

I've got a whole bunch of boards that fall into a couple of different
"categories" of what they look like. I've got a few different types of
HP boards and some "unlabelled manufacturer" boards (the DC1127
pictures). Note that I've probably got better looking boards on
average than these; these are just the ones off the top of the pile
that were easy to bring inside.
The pictures are up at:

I'm going to guess the HP boards are labelled by the part number of the
machine they go in; the 09885 are for a 9885 and the 02116 are for a
2116? And before you go asking me for the boards, stop. I'm not going
to do anything with them until I know what they are. : )

I was working on my annual OpenVMS licensing a little bit ago, and
noticed that some more Layered Products licenses have been added;
UCX-IP-CLIENT, UCX-IP-NFS, UCX-IP-RT. Not sure what exactly they add
to TCPIP.

I think the parts for the M4 9914 are still available from
http://www.pine1nc.com/M4.htm
I ordered a new revision EPROM from them a while back.

I mean, the SCSI board that goes into the M4 data drive is what I need, not
a scsi board for a host cpu.

I already directly replied to him an hour ago and left a list of 4 sites he
can obtain software from for use with most Windows operating systems. I
hope it helps him since he was just looking for Windows software/drivers to
support the unit on a PC, not hardware.

Greetings. You're getting this note because one of your e-mail
exchanges comes up on a Google search for "Northgate Keyboards." I'm
looking for one like you describe--with the control key just to the left of
the "a." Still have it? Wanna sell it?

I received E-mail this morning from a fellow who's trying to track down a Windows or DOS driver for an M4 Data 9-track tape drive.
I wasn't able to provide much in the way of insight. If anyone here can help, please reply directly to him. Thanks much.

Subject: Re: M4 Data 9914R
I currently have a M4 Data 9914 Tape drive running off of a VAX system
that is reaching its end of life. I need to be able to transfer the
functionality of this system to a PC... hence the need for a PC version
of the driver. The code that runs the tape drive is written in Fortran
77, which will also have to be converted to some other PC compatible
language. In any case, my current headache is to either find a win/dos
driver for the M4, or source a new 9mm (800-1600bpi) tape drive that
comes with a win/dos driver. Is there anything at all that you could
help me with?

Hi,
how do I go about to find me a PDP-11 in Scandinavia
and the close neighbourhood? England is close enough
for a mesure of closeness. I live in the south of
Sweden, close to Copenhagen.
TIA for all help.
