I am going to be selling off a collection of Byte magazines [they are going
to e-bay thiss weekend]. The collection is complete [to the best of my
knowledge] for 1983 thru 1986. There are also 20+ issues from the early-mid
1990's.
If any is interested and wants to make a reasonable offer (all offers will
NOT include shipping), this is your chance.....

I have five gmail invitations to pass out. Any takers? First come,
first served. I'll be out this evening but will take care of any
requests as soon as I get back in.

Ok, I am reading the RSTS/E 7.0 system generation manual.. and I am
looking at my
existing simh hard disk files and what may be available.. I can't seem
to find
information for RSTS as to what it calls it's disk drives..
I have two RL01 images which RSTS calls DL0: and DL1:, and DSKINT and
HARDWR see them also as RL and
they seem to have 2MW of capacity. I can have other kinds of disks,
for instance
RMO3 simh=RP RSTS=???? DSKINT/HARDWR=RR Capacity=33mw
Ten times the size but what does RSTS call them?
I would like to find a table/list that shows all the different disk
models and what RSTS calls them.
Can anyone point me to the proper manual?
As I usually do when investigating some new (old) hardware, I like to
create a "Quick Reference Guide"
Usually in form an 8 1/2 x 11 page with 3 columns on each side meant to
be folded in 3rds.
Ok RSTS/E people what should be on a quick reference guide? Basic
syntax? Commands?
The PPN's of common subsystems like OPSER? SPOOL? (are those locations
standard?)
I dunno about anyone else, but I haven't received any list messages for a
day or two... was the list down, or just sporadic? (It's gone sporadic a
time or two before...)
Jay, you mentioned a dying hard drive. Need a donation? I could spare a
sawbuck your way for the new one... Lemme know!
Laterz,

I found another interesting link to a document about the history of HP, squarely on the HP-3000. This is vaguely similar to the other document I posted a while back, but a different one nontheless. Enjoy!

Hi
I feel it is right for some purposes. I feel more
confident when I know the bank is using a decimal based
computer.
