All,
Kudos to the folks at DEC, er, Compaq, err, HP, we have saved several
quite-old versions of the OSF/1 system.. I have OSF/1 V2.0, 2.0B, 2.1,
3.0, 3.0B and 3.2 all saved, and more to come.
Yay!
Fred

Hello, with everyone's patience, I would just like to offer that I now have a
list of mags for sell, please e-mail for list. Also, here is more detailed
info in order to sell the following:
Generic, non-front-panel S-100 system with cool smoked plexiglass cover/case
Dual 8" disk drives in chassis
ADM5 terminal
Please see: http://members.aol.com/mtpro/s100.html
Also:
Amiga 1000, monitor, external disk drive - complete system
IBM Convertible with printer in IBM carrying case, disks, manual, works but
screen does not display properly now
Osborne 1, slightly newer OCC1 model with blue face front and keyboard top,
looks great, excellent display, but can't get it to boot, all "boot errors."
Drive needs cleaning, adjustment, replacement? Or are my boot disks just bad?
Amstrad PPC640, seems to work, ready to boot, no disk, plus contrast does not
work and hinge needs repair on display
Most excellent Apple /// complete system with booting Apple Profile hard
drive!
I am motivated to sell, will definitely sell for less than eBay prices, but
I'm not giving things away for next to nothing. Please offer reasonable offers.
Thank you, David Greelish
All,
Hmm. This new year seems to have ha a bad start for me... the disks
on the pdp11.nl server are fried. I have *no* idea what caused this,
other than heat (in an airco-controlled room???), but it is a fact.
I have ordered new disks (under warranty, fortunately) and *do* have
a backup on DLT, so most of the stuff is still "around". It will
take me about a week or so for things to get back up...
Cheerz,
Fred (back in Holland, just so y'all know)

I've *finally* gotten the network problems I've been fighting at home resolved. It looks as if my Intel 10/100 24-port Switch has decided that it no longer wants anything to do with 10Mbit <sigh>. Anyhow, I've moved my home network back to my old 8-port 10/100 hub and a 8-port 10Mbit hub, and everything is happy (thankfully the 24-port is serious overkill at the moment).
As a result I now have managed to get the VT420 on the DECserver 90L+ to reliably talk to my DEC PWS 433au, and my Ethertalk-to-Localtalk converter is working again so my VMS server and Mac can once again print. Life is good.
Now that things are straightened back out, it's time to get back to something fun, namely getting my RSTS/E system talking on my network :^)
During the network issues I managed to get DECnet/E installed on my PDP-11/73, and had managed to do a directory listing (unreliably though) of the RSTS/E system. I'm now able to reliably list directories on the RSTS/E system. More importantly I have LAT working, so I can log in from my DECserver!!!!
What isn't working is the following:
Getting a directory of the VMS system from RSTS/E
Copying files between the two systems
Logging in from one system to the other
Has anyone tried getting a system running DECnet/E (Phase IV) to talk to a system running DECnet-Plus?
