One of the local vintage equipment liquidators has come upon a Micro
PDP-11, Model 11C23-R. If anyone is interested for about $125 I will
have him put it on the Vintage Market Place...

Hi, I'm just starting to get into a PDP11/83 machine I have here and I want
to add some more storage but I'm having some issues. For starters this is
what I got
M5977-AA SCSI board (Is this the same as RQZX1?)
two RZ24L 240MB HD from Quantum
combo tape and 5.25 RX33 Drive
All components work. But I can only get one HD to be recognized (one is ID 0
the other is set to 1).
>From what I understand each drive is partitioned into 8 30MB sections,
though it's accessed as just DU0. I also know that max devices I can have on
the M5977 is 16. With SHOW DEVICES I see DU1, DU2 as offline and
type:unknown
Now for my stupid questions:
Is each partition treated as 1 device (meaning can I have 2x240MB AND the
tape/RX33 drives)?
If so, how do I add the 2nd HD and get it recognized (LOAD? SET?)?
I don't have a manual for any of this equipment, and I don't really know RSX
yet. Thanks!

While I didn't find the nice tidy listing of all of the profanity in the
Windows source code as I remembered it, I did find this site:
http://mjt.nysv.org/w2k_greps/
that has the complete grep listings. Based on the file sizes,
"bugbug", "stole" and "sh~t" are the biggest offenders, followed by "ugly",
"sucks", "kludge" and "death".

Yeah, I remember most of my code told tales of evil hardware
bugs in the comments... :)

Actually this analysis was performed recently but for the life of me I can't
remember where I saw it. I think I read the "curses histogram" on Slashdot
but a quick search didn't produce any links. As I remember, "bugbug" was one
of the top items, along with the "f-word".

hello,
I read on
http://www.classiccmp.org/pipermail/cctech/2002-September/002205.html
you searched a copy of the terminal emulator.
I just get a 4952A unit, with a POD cable (AUI male - AUI female I guess)
and this disc containing the terminal emulator. But I don't have any
manual.
Have you finally found the disk? If not, I could try to send you a copy of
mine.
Do you have a manual, explaining how to use this terminal emulator? I
can't figure how to get it working..
regards,
vg
Very interesting segment on old storage media. I remember punch cards,
paper tape, huge fixed head hard drives, etc. The article he wrote is
also very interesting too. I loved the patch panel for the IBM machine.
Have not seen one of those in a long long time. I did take a class in high school that taught us how to program a tabulating machine. Way
to go Sellam.

Hi All,
To complete one of the parts of the VAXlab network, I need to
get the following DEChub90-based stuff:
- two (2) DEChub90 backplanes
- three (3) DECrepeater 90T modules
- one (1) DECbridge module for management
I have the other modules, including some fun ones (LATprint,
Packet Probe, bridge, router, term server). Extra DECserver 90
term servers are always welcome.
Lemme know (off-list) if you have something you'd be willing to
part with for a fair price!
Cheers,
Fred

Hi Folks!
Anybody got a set of schematics for an Apple Lisa IO board? Must be the
eariler 2/5 version (Part No. 620-0117) Had a look on the net but can only
find diagrams for the later 2/10 board.
Failing that, anybody in the UK with a spare IO board for a Lisa 2/5 ?
Cheers,
Dave
