Hey All.
I'm looking to buy:
Moviesetter by Gold Disk
MainActor by MainConcept
Both of these are Amiga applications, and the versions I need must be
prior to 1995.
I'm interested in buying these outright, so if you've got them, please
contact me directly (I won't see replies to the list) and let's make a
deal.
Thanks!

More of the eBay mystery at work. It sold for $76.75--I almost
tossed it out as junk.

Going slightly OT, I assume the same thing
would happen to any rubber rollers in VHS
players, and be the main (only?) reason why
VHS players start chewing VHS tapes?
(I have a DVD player and am considering
getting a cheap DVD recorder)

I've got a KRQ50 (M7552) and a RRD40-DC (the 15 pin LMSI version, not the
SCSI version!) drive in a MicroVAX-III, but I can't seem to get them
working. VMS sees the KRQ50 as PUB0, but it doesn't see any drives on the
controller. Any attempt to access DUB0 just gives device offline errors.
I read somewhere that the KRB50 had to have a particular firmware version
before it would work with the RRD40 - does anybody know the correct ROMs
that I should have on my board?
I didn't have a cable to connect the drive and controller, so I made one.
Is the cable just supposed to be a DB15M <-> DB15F with all pins wired
straight thru? Is there anything special about the cable?
Is there any significance to the A and B ports on the KRQ50 (i.e. does it
matter which one you use)?
Unfortunately this seems to be a really rare device, and online docs are
pretty much non-existent.
Thanks,

I've got a pair of Diamond HomeFree wireless networking cards (one is
PCI, the other is ISA) as well as a pair of PCI "HomeFree Phoneline"
cards for anyone interested in paying UPS Ground or USPS Priority
shipping for them.
IIRC, they'll work on Win 9x, but not NT/2K/XP (no drivers). I don't
know if Linux drivers were ever produced for them. The Homefree uses
a 2.4GHz (?) link to get 1Mbps (if you're lucky) and the HomeFree
uses a telephone pair to get 10 Mbps. Neither scheme represented a
glowing success for DMMC.

Ohhh - nice big power hungry ECL based Classic 3000! Really slow
compared to later PA-RISC cousins, but a nice machine. Pair this with a
2680 laser printer, a roomful of 793x washing machine size disc drives,
and some 7980 reel tape drives and you had a nice 1980s HP data center.
On a historic note one could argue that this was the machine that saved
HP from the same fate as DEC. In the late 1970s and early 1980s HP had
several competing 32-bit architectures(Wide Word, Bridge, Vision... All
pre-PA-RISC), none of which won out and made it to market. When HP Labs
pushed Spectrum (aka PA-RISC) we were waaaay behind DEC/VAX and
IBM/S38/AS400/mainframe, and in a very difficult market position. There
was talk about the lights going out for business computing line
(HP3000), which was a big profit center for HP. The HP3000-64 had been
released, then -68, and -70. If we had not had the -68 and -especially
the -70 to give us breathing room and keep many big customers needing
higher performance happy, HP could have found itself in a very
unpleasant business bind.
Spectrum was very successful and we made a good transition, and along
with help from printers and PCs HP vaulted from a minor player to a real
player in the server market.
Stan Seiler might have some additional color. I was working in the RTE
Lab then moved to MPE Lab on Spectrum, so never worked on MPE for
Classic.
My $0.02...

Hello eveyone. I am new to the list and looking for info
for an old prom burner I have come across. It appears
to have been manufactured by B&C Microsystems,
and is a model 1409. Looking for any info regarding
this beast. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin Berlen
Hi List,
I have an R3000 Indigo with GR2-Elan graphics and a system disk with a
working copy of IRIX 4.0.5. The provenance of these 2 items is different,
which explains why the GR2-Elan doesn't seem to be supported by the
4.0.5kernel that's on the disk.
Does anyone know if any rev or patch of 4.0.5 ever supported GR2-Elan?
The hardware is definitely working as I have a 5.3 install working nicely.
Was 4.0.5 ever shipped on CD? I don't remember ever seeing it on anything
other than QIC tape.
64K ?/$/E question - does anyone have 4.0.5 in a form that can be made
available?
Cheers,
Pete

Is anyone aware of any video available on DVD/VHS of historic mini
computers? IMSAI, MITS, those types? What about larger
machines? Training or promotional videos? I'm looking for any video of
any older computers really, so if there are some good mainframe videos out
there I'd love to get those too. : )
I bought a video from ebay from seller vintech-history. It is great. I
wish it were longer. :)

The thought occurred to me that it might be nice to have the
floating-point option in my PDP-11/73. Since I haven't got one, and
don't fancy paying the $500 or so that some online sellers seem to be
asking (do they really expect to sell *any*, never mind at that price?),
I was wondering how easy it would be to implement in an FPGA as was
discussed at length earlier in the week.
Feasible, or a complete waste of time? Presumably I'd need software
written to make use of the floating-point hardware anyway...
