Hello, all:
I'm looking for a search engine I can use on my network in the house. I
remember a long time ago (1998 or so), before the "browser wars" AltaVista
distributed a "personal AltaVista" that you could use on a personal computer
to allow for indexing/searching a local machine/network. This was at the
time that AltaVista was owned by Digital. I found a lot of announcements of
the product but no actual download points.
Does anyone have this or something else I can use internally? The server
runs Windows NT Server and I can install IIS.
Thanks.

Hi
No, mask ROM are not the same as PROMs that have fuses. These
only fail when a transistor fails. There are no fuses blown
in a mask ROM. There are wires that are there or not there

The EPROMs on my SIM-4 still have there original data ( 1702A's ).
I've made both EPROM and on disk copies. These are about '73 someplace.
Not to bad for part that were only suppose to hold for 10 years.

(you do it by plugging the EPROM into the socket backwards)
They only emit light for a few minutes this way. But yes, there
is a nice orange low.
All ROMs can suffer from the effects of EM ( electro-migration ).
They can suffer from impurity ions as well. Copper and
sodium are real bad.

I found a copy of this the other day. It's a program that runs on a PC
and acts like the BASIC used on the HP 9000 series 200/300 computers. I got
the complete package including orignal disks, registartion, etc EXCEPT for
the dongle :-( It won't run without the dongle. Does anyone know how to
bypass the dongle check or does anyone have a working copy of HTBasic that
they can send me?

In checking some other stuff, I just ran across a neat site dealing with
the ENIGMA CIPHER MACHINES among other antique cipher machines and
calculators. The main page site is W1TP TELEGRAPH AND SCIENTIFIC
INSTRUMENT MUSEUMS, and has some pretty interesting stuff on it!
http://w1tp.com/
I sent the guy a message via eBay asking for more details. Nothing
so far. Like Brad I may try to take a look if I can get his address
and permission to stop by. How can he expect much interest if he does
not at least give some details on what's there.

Just saw an old query using vivisimo in your group about the Wireless
World computer. If you want to see if it was what you were talking about
I've got a couple of pages scanned in:
http://www.fano.demon.co.uk/history/WWcomp.html
The basic model didn't have patch leads so it may not be that - but
there were plans for programming it via an expansion patch panel.
hope this helps

I saw that done to the final remaining copy of a control system
EPROM that we had here. Fixing it for long enough to read was
something of an achievement.

Still have any HP21xx stuff for sale? I have a 2116B (working) and could use
periperals, options, software, manuals, spares, etc...

It didn't linewrap, but it doesn't display in Netscape. I'd have been
interested in this, but all I can see is a pretty blue background :-(
The page isn't valid HTML, and has a few mistakes in it.
