Looks like bitsavers are missing out on the pdp-11/04! Anybody has a copy of the processor manual/prints online?

QIC02

by cclist＠sydex.com

My memory is failing again. It's been maybe 15 years since I last fooled with QIC02-interfaced drives and I'm trying to avoid doing homework that I've probably done years ago. I've got two QIC02 drive setups. One's a Tandberg TDC3650 drive connected to a Alliance Technology ISA half-card. The other's a Cipher CP125BA connected to a Wangtek 5150. I'm guessing that the Wangtek card supports hardware compression (it's got an 8085 on it), while the Alliance looks to be pretty minimalist. So here's what I'm wondering. Without preferring any particular data format (e.g. tar), what x86 platform has the best support for these things? Linux? Xenix? MS-DOS? OS/2? Windows? I've got the distinct feeling that I've been here before, but I can't recall what I discovered. Can anyone help me slice through the mental fog? Thanks, Chuck

www.dovebid.com "Electronic Manufacturing Exchange #24"

by legalize＠xmission.com

This auction is going on right now with lots of individual boards in the asset catalog. I didn't notice it until now, but many items are expiring in the next couple of hours. Boards are things like: - Motorola VME boards - Tektronix logic analyzer boards - older IBM PC boards (all ISA so far) - Test equipment modules - Data I/O programming modules - Data acquisition boards You'll have to browse individual lots to see all the stuff that's in there. A bunch have opening bids of $5, which is the lowest opening I've seen on dovebid (most stuff opens at $50). As always, caveat emptor, but if you collect design, test or programming equipment, this looks like a good auction. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline"-- code samples, sample chapter, FAQ: <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/> Pilgrimage: Utah's annual demoparty <http://pilgrimage.scene.org>

OT: video signal question

by mamcfadden＠cmh.edu

We purchased a new CT scanner to match the one we currently have. The original has a SGI computer inside, running some type of UNIX, the newer one came with some type of Windows. How about a little radiation controlled by your computer? Mike
