Early machines from the 'workstation wars', Apollo and Tektronix come to
mind, may be of interest in the future. There doesn't appear to be much
on the technical doc or software side around for these. I tried
contacting
they guy who was working on the Apollo port for NetBSD to get the tech
info
he was able to collect, but got nowhere.
People seem to have saved the later SGI IRIS (3xxx series) though,
probably
because of the neat graphics demos.

Egads! One of the most sanitized versions of the mnemonic I have heard.
CRC
Also, use the MOS memory from the 11/34 to boot.

Doesn't this require a DD11 backplane with Modified Unibus Device (MUD)
slots?

Al K. 'borrowed'
several tapes that had something of interest when he picked up the
MIT CADR as well.

They were finally read last year when I got a TC11 working again,
along with some that I 'borrowed' from Jay on the same trip.
Should all of them be sent to Jay?
Hi,
Can anyone give me some more information about a Teleprint 390 ?
I have one now and I think its pretty cool, works just fine but it
would be nice to know some background information.
Anyone by any chance have any docs they would like to part with ?
Thanks!
Stefan.

Years ago I obtained from a library an edition based
on a Mitusbishi floppy drive, model number I believe
was 4151 but I'm not positive. Can anyone clarify this
for me, a search proved fruitless. Does anyone have
this manual? It's of interest because my Tandy 2000
uses Mitusbishi 4153 drives, and doubtless there's
similarities.

Got the 2nd rack attached & cleaned up, as well as installed an 861C power
control module. It's ready for the BA11 and then the other peripherals.
Of course, when I went to get about mounting the BA11, I realized I have the
inner rails (still bolted to the BA11), but I don't have the outer rails.
These rails look exactly (to me) like the 11/34 mounting rails, with the
pull-forward-and-the-box-tilts-setup. I've heard these 11/34 type rails are
unobtanium. So, does anyone have spare outer rails for those type if rails -
or any suggestions as to other ways to rack it up? I took the inner "tilting
rails" off the BA11 to see if any other slides I have might work (but not
tilt of course) and the holes just don't seem to line up in any good way.
Thoughts? I have truckloads of RA81 slides spare :>
The DL11 controller has a crystal that does odd baud rates, the only usable
one by any of my terminals is 110 baud (I think the crystal in it is like
408.xxxx or somesuch. I read in the docs that you can use a different
crystal and get more "common" (and higher) baud rates. The docs tell me what
speed crystal to get - but is this crystal something I can just order from
jameco/digikey/whoever and plug it in? The docs sound like it is only a
crystal swap required. Correct?
Thanks for any advice!

Hi
Some computers are especially slow at doing a linefeed to
the screen. I'd think it could keep up with 110 Baud though.
Most teletypes have some way for a signal from the computer
to throttle the paper tape read ( as I recall ). You might
look at connecting some handshake.
You didn't state if it was making mistakes from the first
character or if it read several right and then lost it.
If it read some right, how long does it go before it
makes mistakes? Any line feeds involved?

There was a discussion of cloning various PDP11 OSes a while back (2003)
Google for "a PDP-11 question" as the subject. Someone with the handle
of 'paramucho' had sources to a clone he had written. There was also
someone who popped up around new years a few years ago claiming to
have had one written by someone in Canada.
