Anybody have a spare copy of the "MCS-8 8008 Users Manual", Rev 4
(November, 1973) or later (though Rev 4 is the latest I've seen)? Al has
Rev 2 at bitsavers and I have a copy of Rev 3 (March,1973), but the
earlier manuals only deal with the SIM-8; Rev 4 introduces the Intellec
8. Of course I'd love to find the actual manual, but a good copy would
be greatly appreciated, as would any other info on the 8008-based
Intellec 8.
I've do have a fair amount of info on the 8080-based Intellec 8I which I
will be scanning and posting at bitsavers or Howard Harte's archive.

Hmmm...my BA11-N (11/03L) was resprayed evidently as there are paint
oversprays to the control panel area (the toggle switches), but I didn't
know that the BA11-N front was actually in a single plain color..
I know that the BA11-M (11/03) has a nice DEC/PDP logo with color, and
the BA11-S (11/23) also, so I assumed that the BA11-N has too..
Heck, and I thought using the DEC maroon for the background and white
for the DEC bricks and PDP logo..

Speaking of SIMH..
SIMH requires root privileges to do its networking (at least on most of
its unix host OS's), understandably, but I'm not happy with it...
So I've hacked up some code changes that'll let me change the UID/GID &
chroot() SIMH is running on from the SIMH console.
The idea is..
attach (network devs)
attach (other root owned devs)
set priv root=/some/chroot/jail gid=-1 uid=-1
(continue configuring)
Anyways, my question is, does anyone else think this would even vaguely
be useful?
If so, I'll mail the patches into Bob Supnik, if not, I'll not waste my
(or anyone elses) time. I figure there out to be at least one or two
other SIMH users on this list. :)
The "why" of it all.. I may have need of putting up a internet facing
VAX/VMS "box" in the near future, and not wanting the heat & power
issues of real hardware (yes, its hot in my "computer closet" :-( ) I
thought a virtual VAX on my Linux firewall would do.
I'm less concerned about the 'VAX' being hacked than I am about the
firewall. (Yes, I know theoretically, its impossible for the SIMH
environment to affect the firewall host OS directly, save possibly via
networking, but I'm also paranoid. :-> )
/me slinks back under his rock, and awaits the snickering..

Yes, notice the number of bids. Somebody thinks he's got something
higly desireable, but doesn't.
I've found e-Bay, or ePay, or eGreed to be quite inflationary to sane
pricing thanks to too many people with too much time and money on their
hands. That coupled with 'sniping', makes eBay to me a last resort, if
I can't find something elsewhere.
The feeding frenzy at the end, or sniping, is now done by software that
submit your bid with seconds to spare, eliminating counter bids. People
are using computers to beat the eBay computers.
My friend suggested that the incremental bidding be changed to whatever
the MAXIMUM bid is placed. If the item is at $10 and you place a bid
for $100, the bid would then become $100, not $11.00. That would
eliminate a lot of counter bidding, and shills that bid up just to feel
out your maximum bid. Personally I think keeping the bidding secret
until the auction is over, would keep honest people honest. No one
scheme would be fair to everyone though.
I'll stick to swap meets, and other face-to-face deals, as I'll have
less competition. Everything is worthless until someone wants it and
puts some dinero down to prove it. I don't need some rich kid playing
games behind me when I'm dealing with someone one-on-one.
On the other side of the coin, it is hilariously laughable to see what
some people pay for very common items. Caveat Emptor.

Are you sure? On those BA11-N (and similar) boxes, the whole front is
the same colour, logo, PDP-11 designation, and all. It's called DEC
Gray #<somenumber>. The only ones that are any different are later
ones (eg some BA11-S boxes) for some 11/23-Plus and 11/73 systems,
which are still all sprayed the same colour, but then have a black
plastic sticker added with the model number. Nothing is supposed to be
masked out on any of them.

Sir,
We are from Mauritius and we have got a Protocol Analyser HP 4951B but without a manual.
We have found your email on http://www.classiccmp.org/pipermail/cctech/2002-September/002215.html website through a Google search.
We would be very grateful if you could kindly inform us the possibility of getting a copy (photocopy) of the HP 4951B manual. Should you agree to help us, we would be pleased to send you the cost for the copy and s&h costs to Mauritius.
Thanking you in anticipation, and looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Kind Regards,
Riad Hossen Ally

My brother gave me a box of his old DOS games, and told me to get rid of
them however I saw fit. CCTALK, here they come!
Anyway, I have 20-ish pound box full of early 1990s DOS games (maybe some
Windows, too) for the PeeCee. Let's see, we have Ultima 4, Pirates,
various AD&D games, Roger Wilco, Gunship 2000, Tornado, Wooden Ships& Iron
Men, and probably a few I missed. Knowing my brother, everything original
to the games is there (yes, these are real, store-bought, non-pirated
originals).
One money gets the whole pile - I don't want to sell individual games.
Cheap. Make a stupid offer over shipping.

Yes, please send it in.

I've come up with a way to read Heath hard-sectored disks with a 1797-style
controller (with some modifications). I've now archived all of my old disks
with only one unrecoverable error in an unused sector (not bad for media that
is approaching 30 years in age). I do seem to have run through *drives* at
an alarming rate, though I hope that the cleaning disks I have on order will
restore some of them. Is anyone interested in:
-Technical details (the method should work for many non-standard FM formats)?
-Having me read any H8 disks?
-Any distribution images that I might have?
