I haven't written code to do this, but the approach I would take is to
align with the sector holes by hand: Spin reading from the input port
that returns the hole sensor's status, then give the "start writing
immediately" command when you see a hole, and write one sector's worth
of data. Then spin waiting for another sector hole and write another
sector's worth, etc. You might find that you miss a hole each time and
need two revolutions to write the whole track.
One reason I suggest this is that it seems like there is yet another
reason why the Catweasel's built-in hole-to-hole write isn't suitable.
Don't hard-sectored disks have an index hole for the whole track that is
about halfway between two of the sector holes? If your disks have that,
you'd be unable to write that sector with a hard hole-to-hole Catweasel
write -- it would stop halfway through.
Still assuming this is true, you could find the track index hole by
spinning watching for sector holes and noting the time between each two.
When you find two that are too close together, you've found the track
index hole.
I suppose you might have to do all this in DOS to ensure you don't get
interrupts that you don't want and that mess up your timing. I'm not
sure disabling interrupts is necessary, though. You also could use
Linux, as you can do a Linux iopl system call that gives a user process
high enough privileges to read/write I/O ports *and* even disable
interrupts if needed.
I don't know enough about how hard sectored FDCs work to know if there
are problems with this approach...

In Mailman/Archiver/Archiver.py there should be something like
def GetConfigInfo(self):
return [
"List traffic archival policies.",
('archive', mm_cfg.Toggle, ('No', 'Yes'), 0,
'Archive messages?'),
('archive_private', mm_cfg.Radio, ('public', 'private'), 0,
'Is archive file source for public or private archival?'),
('clobber_date', mm_cfg.Radio, ('When sent', 'When resent'), 0,
'Set date in archive to when the mail is claimed to have been '
'sent, or to the time we resend it?'),
Hey everyone,
I've got a huge lot of DEC PDP/VAX/etc handbooks and manuals that I need to
move out now that I'm concentrating primarily on newer Apple and Sun stuff.
This is what I've got left after cleaning out the garage and discarding other
manuals that I'm sure other people have already archived or have made available
online. Everything is in good shape (considering its age) and none of the
books have water damage. One of them (the '73-74 peripherals handbook) has
a torn-off cover, but I can fix that with tape. As a bonus, I'll throw in
a maroon/purple DEC rack header panel.
I'd prefer to keep all this as one big lot, but I might "part it out" if I
get a good enough offer.
Would like to sell, or trade for useful equipment (x86 systems, older Cisco
switches or PIX boxes, Mac systems that will (natively) run OS X, or just
make an offer of something interesting).
Pictures of everything are up at http://www.mrbill.net/decbooks/

I have too much PC junk sitting around the basement. No drives,
keyboards, or RAM. Working when shelved.
AMD K6-300 CPU, fan, motherboard, power supply, case. $10 +
postage.
Intel 486-66 CPU, motherboard, video card, modem card, power
supply, case. $5 + postage.
I just hate to throw it in the dumpster. Can separate pieces to
keep shipping cost down or if you don't want the cases.
thanks
Charles
foo.. the option went away in later versions
was just looking at the latest code on sourceforge
guess whoever came up with this never considered wanting to read
a mailing list offline through the web archive.
it worked fine until you upgraded a while back, then all the postings
started getting scrambled in the archive based on what the poster's
time zone is.

on well.. now I know what happened
Been through all the admin screens, and I can't find the option you are
referring to. Any thoughts?
