OK, next load of questions.
I've been trying to create a "virgin" system from the install media I
have. I have so far successfully sysgenned and built RT11 v5.0, and
installed it on an RL02. Great.
However, the version that boots off one of the hard disks built into the
PDP allows me to access four partitions in total - DU0: to DU3: - but my
own version only has DU0: (same as normal) and DU1: (same as DU3: in the
version of RT11 installed on the hard disk).
If I say "SET DU2: disk=0, part=1" then I can see my "old" DU1: as DU2:,
and so on.
What do I need to change to get it to come up like this? It doesn't
appear to be a load of "SET" commands in the STARTS.COM file.

Subject: Big list of floppy disk formats?
Does such a thing exist? It'd be nice to have an online resource of all
the different floppy disk formats used by different machines.
Yes, that's one huge list, and would likely never be complete - but as I
haven't come across an attempt at all so far, it'd be better than
hunting around for the data when needed.
I'd be happy to collate stuff if it's thought to be a good idea - I
could make it available online too (although maybe one of the recognised
repositories such as bitsavers would bea better place)
Data can be fed into the futurekeep project as and when necessary, as
it's something that'll be needed there too one day.
thoughts?

You probably already know this, but 22disk's cpmdisks.def has
a lengthy list of at least CP/M format details; good starting point.

Hi
Once the car fills with water, the door will open with
little effort ( unless damaged ).
It is rare that the battery becomes in-operative.
The switch to turn off the other windows is a good point,
though. It might be a good idea to have cars automatically
roll the windows down after a small delay when an airbag
is fired.

Hi,
does anybody know the (up to date )e-mail address of the guy named
Sebastian Br?ckner? Are you Sebastian Br?ckner? Please contact me.

Anyone have an Amiga Mouse (for use on a 4000T) for sale? It doesn't need
to be pretty, but it does need to work. I checked ePay, but most are in
Brittania where shipping would be a bear, and the few that remains are
"parts" or bundles... Unforch, I'm in a bit of a hurry for this - it rides
on getting the rest of the 4000T (which the owners have ever-so-quickly
gotten in a big hurry to get rid of, but need to remove personal data
first, and don't have the keyboard or mouse! :-/ ) I just got an Amiga
keyboard on ePay, but alas, no easy mice... (not even the Atari/Amiga
switchable ones... :-( )
Anyone have a working spare they're willing to sell? "Have Paypal, Will
Travel"...
Also... Jay:
If it'll help you track down the Reply-To: address munging "weirdness"
Evan's email address *always* comes up with the list address's's's; I
always have to manually remove his address from the To: field when replying
to a post of his.
Hope this helps, and thanks!

Hi
One can hide encoded messages by different order of
optional code sequences. There are many of these optional
sequnces in 8080 code. I'm not sure how useful this
would be in 8086 translation.
He may have reverse translated it back to 8080 to show
the hidden sequences.

For people who haven't read it, here's what it said:
"IIRC, Killdall stood up in court and entered a keystrokes at a PC
running MSDOS and brought up an easter egg he had programmed
into CP/M years earlier, proving they had used his code."
What we're trying to figure out is the keystrokes and the MSDOS version.
Here's another account: http://dfarq.homeip.net/article.php?story=935
"Back in the mid-1990s, PC Magazine columnist John C. Dvorak wrote
something curious about this operating system. He said he knew of an
easter egg present in CP/M in the late 1970s that caused Kildall's name
and a copyright notice to be printed. Very early versions (presumably
before the 1.0 release) of DOS had this same easter egg."
