Well done :-) I must admit that it takes a while to get one's head around all the annex config stuff, and figure out what gets set where. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York

Annex Terminal Servers...

I also have one at home, where it presently connects to a couple of terminals, a couple of SGI consoles, a PDP-8, and will eventually connect a few more consoles (when I make up the cables). It has reasonable security so my eventual aim is to have it accessible from the Internet, for much the same reason you want to hook up your Vax. I wouldn't connect it to the internet until you have set up the security. > I have one unit up and working like a charm on my vax system so I can > use my PC to control the console port over my LAN.

You probably don't have all the configuration set up. I have the manuals, about 9" of shelf space, and the remote management software. You don't actually need that management software, but it does make life easier. My guess is that you don't have the gateway address (and/or subnet mask) correctly set. I assume you know to use the "su" command from the CLI to the superuser prompt, then the "admin" command to get to the admin mode, and "show annex all" (etc) to see the configuration? You need that to set the subnet mask (and many other things). You don't set a default gateway like that, though. The annex uses its routing table for that, and you can either set a static route using the "route" command or by putting the route(s) you want in the "gateways" section of the config file which it loads when it boots. You can display the routes using "netstat -r" and "netstat -C". After I compiled the software, I corrected a few of the manpages and wrote a few extra ones, which I'll send you by private email. In the meantime, here's a few useful URLs: http://www25.nortelnetworks.com/library/rannex/relnotes/R10.1A-Release_Note… http://www.ofb.net/~jheiss/annex/ http://lost-contact.mit.edu/afs/net.mit.edu/project/afs32/andrew/netdev/sun… -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York

Starting over with 8" drive on PC

If anyone else wants it, let me know. It is VERY large, and I'm sure some will gripe that I didn't OCR it, or scan at lower resolution, or etc, etc, ... My response - scan it yourself then... For me: storage is cheap, bandwidth is cheap, time is what I don't have enough of. Kelly

Free, I'm scrapping tape drives

by trash3＠splab.cas.neu.edu

I am getting rid of my 9 track tape drives. All drives are Cipher 880, 890, or 990. None are SCSI. I have one Kennedy I promised to ship to England. I also have 4 formatters for the older style drives. It is all going in the dumpster. If anybody wants it, let me know and we can make arrangements for you to pick the stuff up. If you need more info, let me know as well, off list. Oh, yes, one is a Cipher 910640, which is the upright style, the others are all the pizza-oven style. If I have forgotten and already promised some of this stuff to certain people, now is the time to speak up! Any manuals that I had are still with Al, but they may be on bitsavers by now. Cheers, Joe Heck

DEC Paper Tape On EBay

by bpettit＠ix.netcom.com

Don't know if this is of interest or not: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=1479&item=5763091474… I know eBay is not popular here, but I rarely see these boxes any more. Even regular oiled 1" tape is down to a few niche dealers. Billy

my computer "museum"

by vax9000＠gmail.com

I have only 5 computers that are older than 10 years. But none is older than 20 years. It can barely be called a 'museum', but hey, at least it's on-line. http://www.wintersweet.com/computermuseum/ vax, 9000

Many SVGA monitors are happy to take a sync-on-green signal as long as the sync frequencies are in range. Check your monitor docs, or try it. -- Adam

TU-56 capacitor repair (part numbers)

by jwest＠classiccmp.org

I finally found the info on suggested TU-56 cap repair from the guy who actually did it with these parts. Here is what he had to say: > The capacitors are from www.newark.com part number 89F2059 with bracket > 81F3218 > > These must be replaced in pairs. > > Attached is a JPG of the mounting plate made from a 1/16" thick aluminum > plate. The image should be to scale. The height is 5" and width is 4.3" > > The plate is attached using 0.5" 8-32 standoffs from www.digikey.com part > number 8427K > > You will also need 1/4 and 3/8 8-32 screws. Note that the caps he found & used are slightly different size than the originals, hence a different mounting plate and brackets. Hope this helps everyone! I can put the .jpg file refered to up if people want to see that too. Jay West

Sun Sparc 1+ workstation FREE

by lab＠lincolnbaxter.com

Hi All, I have a Sum Sparc 1+ workstation, w kbrd, optical mouse, extern 1 gig Disk, Monitor (1200x1024), that will eventually find its way to the local recycle bin, if someone doesn't want it. The battery on the CPU board is dead, so the system does not remember how to boot. The system as SunOS 4.1.x loaded on it. ( From the new prompt: boot sd 0,2,0 or something like that ) It was last booted probably in 1998 or 99. The system is located in Philadelphia area (19460 zip code). All you have to do, is arrange to have it packed and shipped, or pick it up. Original packing materials are not available. Please reply off list if you are interested. Lincoln
