I thought I'd throw a note out here before I give up for the evening....
(And hope there's an appropriate answer waiting for me in the
morning. :-) )
Has anyone done anything w/ CAP and Apple IIgs's lately, and have any
good guesses why files created on the Unix "share" (from the GS of
course) appear to loose their filetypes? The .finderinfo,
and .resource directories are there, and clean, but CAP appears to be
storing the wrong data in .finderinfo.
Does this happen to ring any bells w/ anyone?
Yes, I know CAP is moldy, old, and from what I can tell unsupported. I
had to port the raw network layer to a modern version of Linux. But it
appears to be working but for the above problem.
Why CAP? Cause I can't get my Fastpath4 bridge to talk anything but
AppleTalk Phase 1, and Linux/NetAtalk only do Phase 2. (Apparently the
FP4 doesn't calculate checksums correctly either, btw) <grumble>
(And no, I don't want to bring up a Solaris box. <spithewie>)
Thanks,
David
PS: At least the IIgs is on-topic. :-)

hi,
Silly me, I bid on an RX01 on ebay, hoping it had a controller card.
Naturally it's just the drive. It has a nice Digital sticker on the side
and seems dirty but mechanically sound and the head looks ok.
So, where can I get a controller card for this thing? any ideas? are
these things like hen's teeth?
Naturally I have an unibus rx01 controller card, so all I need is a
controller card for this drive, right? (and a cable, and power supplies
:-)
I just have this unbending need to boot rt-11 from it. I know it's
silly but I need to do it. And, it seemed like it might be fun to boot
other things too. Plus, with the Shugart drives I have I thought I
might actually be able to transfer small files.

Another place where there is a sea of 2901s is the FPU
for the 11/23b. I have one of those too.

Glad to be back. Spent 5 years working for a firm that makes
P-RTDs as their sole IS/Net/Server/DB/engineer person and was
plain too busy for life until.. they sold it. Now I have way
too much time till I get mixed up in something else hairbrained.
Still have VAXen, PDP-11s, PDP-8s, and a raft of S100 hardware.
I plan to put a T-11 in a smallbox with a 640x480 mono lcd
and keyboard and run RT11 on batteries with it. I be tired
of washin winders.

On laserjets you can hold down the online button while powering up the
printer. Hold until it starts to print and it provides a status page and
a graphics test page. Give it a try.

How about listing the ISBN with the book titles, it would
make requesting the book at the library a little easier.

Anyone has a pointer to a userguide for the above HPIB drive ?
Bitsavers came out empty.
I got a non-functional unit and now need the know how to change the
internal HD ( a 15 MB ST419 unit ) and format it.
I hope the 9133 is intelligent enough to format the disk itself
Target usage : the much needed HD for my HP IPC !
