Does anyone know where I can find the pinout for a 3RP1 CRT? I have the CRT and I have most of the important numbers (V/in deflection, final anode voltage, that sort of thing) but I do not have the pinout. I went a-googling, but all I found was a few places that had the silly things for sale. /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse(a)rodents.montreal.qc.ca / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B

DOS application in WinXP

by RMeenaks＠OLF.COM

Hi, There is a DOS compatibility layer build into XP. It *might* work. Take a look at the following website on how to run DOS-based games on XP.

Archive Cartridge Tape Drive 5540C

by d_cymbal＠hotmail.com

Hi all, Anybody know how to access the above running under either DOS or Linux? It has a 5.25" floppy connector on it. I don't have any drivers for it (do I need them?), just a QS.EXE (QuicStream?) archive DOS app which pukes with a divide overflow error during its "Initializing tape drives" phase. Knoppix doesn't even see it during HW detection. Any config pointers? Thanks.

Saw on Ebay: PDP-11/03 backplane

by jdaviscctalk＠soupwizard.com

It's got about a day to go, no bids, starting at $25. I think the 11/03 models are rarer than the later ones so I thought I'd mention it here. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=1247&item=4135473360… Also has other PDP-11 stuff for sale on Ebay. Btw, I don't know the seller - they listed "vax" in a series of keywords in the ad text, which is how I found it. After reading the recent "VMS vs BSD on VAX" I'm inpired to drag out the vaxstation 4000/90 chassis I have and see if it works (now that I found a serial console cable to test it with), so I was browsing around looking for parts. For the record, if I can get it running, mine will run {Open|Net}BSD. Jeff

Prerelease Mac Portable?

LowEndMac.com has a small set of directions of adapting the cable to match a standard 50 pin narrow SCSI (the more normal SCSI for Macs of the time).

Wouldn't that really be a "Flat Monitor" then? The screen may be flat, but so is the screen to a number of other CRT based monitors. I have one such TV, and I have two monitors that the screen is flat (although they are not flat screen technology, rather they are flat as a side effect of the touch screen that is installed on them). Flat Screen CRT is just that, a CRT with a flat screen. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

Does it? Hi Interesting, my HP3si does all of these. Now, if I could just get it to make a clean print. Dwight

>"Flat-screen" != "LCD" or "TFT". > >Well, I guess I just joined the ranks with "Grumpy Ol' Fred"... ;-) You aren't alone. Seeing as I own a Flat Screen TV that is not of any of the LCD or Plasma or whatever technologies... but is rather a good tried and true CRT. I myself don't call LCD monitor's "Flat Screen", I call them what they are LCD Screens (although I do tend to lump all the LCD like technologies into one term "LCD" even though it is not technically correct to do so) -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>
