If it's already got the document, it won't fetch it again. We use rsync for the official mirrors of PUPS for that reason. Most of the stuff doesn't change. Al's site is even better; it gets added to, but files rarely change. As I understand it, fmirror will be no more efficient for that, becasue it still has to fetch the whole of a new document, jusrt as rsync would. I wouldn't use wget, though; it's fine to do a one-off fetch, but not so good for keeping up to date on a regular basis (actually, it might work quite well for bitsavers, but for sites where files change). -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York

bitsavers mirror is up and in sync!

WOW... they really nail you on business in Long Island. CableVision in NJ (at least the Oakland office) does their business class cable internet thru a company called "Lightspeed" (maybe a division of Cablevision, I don't know). They want $99/mn for business class. However, that is per computer (as all cable companies like trying to do). I haven't read the TOS for them to see if that per computer is real, or just a scam. I have read the Cablevision TOS for residential ($50/mn) and although they plaster all over the place it is per computer, the actual TOS specifically states that it is per public IP and that you are in fact free to run a local NAT router and connect as many computers internally as you please. The only "penalty" is you void your rights to support until only one computer is connected again (so basically, they say go ahead and do it, but you are on your own if you do so). -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

Intriguing stuff on eBay

by jpl15＠panix.com

first this URL - for an obscure paper tape reader manual from 1976: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=67387&item=510374866… and in the body of the text is this bit of Tantalization: "I will be auctioning a number of vintage computer related items (manuals, ads, hardware and software) over the next few weeks. They are all from the estate of an former JPL employee. I will gladly combine shipping if the items can be packed together. I will also allow pick up for certain items. Please email for details. " Might be worth an enquiry in the SoCal area Cheers John

Elan Eprom manual

by kbhipp＠hotmail.com

Tim A couple of months ago we exchanged emails concerning Elan EPROM programming manuals. Have you had any luck in obtaining a copy? I have not. I have been experimenting with the programmer and have not been very successful in programming a chip. I mainly wish to copy eproms. Have you been able to figure out your machine? Thanks Kevin B.

Upgrading a KDF-11B ROMs for MSCP Bootstrap (disassembling a bootstrap ROM?)

Is this > upgrade hopeless? (Bob and I exchanged some private email earlier, so he already knows part of this...) No, apparently they didn't; I checked the manuals. The later bootstraps used Motorola 24-pin 8Kx8 EPROMs (or potentially 8Kx8 mask ROMs, which have the same pinout, though I've never seen any DEC ones). The ones I've got are from a PDT, I think: they're type SCM90448C. To switch from 2Kx8 EPROMs to 8Kx8 EPROMs/mask ROMs, move the link from J23-J24 to J22-J23. Oh, and the DU: bootstrap that I posted to the list (following a post by Jerome) was on Monday June 14th, if you want to dig in the archive for "Re: Qbus hard disk controller". -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York
