PCI DSSI adapters; was [Re: FA: DEC RF-71 Disk Drive]

by waisun.chia＠gmail.com

So this is an official DEC product? KFPSA? Which modern PC-based *nix does this work on? Linux, *BSD?

Where have all the Selectrics gone?

by darryld1＠cox.net

I am looking to purchase some type of old printer/computer that will print like an old IBM printer that was used in auto manufacturing plants in the 1960s. The font is much larger than any typewriter I have seen, but even that would serve my purpose if it were available. Can you help me out or steer me in the right direction? Thanks, darryld1 at cox.net

the Canon Cat meow

by chrism3667＠yahoo.com

I just obtained a rather beautiful specimen (specimen - an Italian astronaut LOL LOL). So I hearby announce my desire to network with other owners of the same. And does anyone know if an 8088 add-on was ever offered?? It seems like the most natural thing to me. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Data General 3700 Aviion (Hooks, TX)

by legalize＠xmission.com

<http://cgi.govliquidation.com/auction/view?id=794849> Says it has unspecified "missing components". No bid on this yet, closes today. Speaking of items on govliquidation.com where there is no bid, I was told that they get relisted until they sell. If it doesn't sell a couple times, then they bundle it with something else they think will sell to move it outta there :-). -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline"-- code samples, sample chapter, FAQ: <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/> Pilgrimage: Utah's annual demoparty <http://pilgrimage.scene.org>

uVAX II diagnostics

by stimpy.u.idiot＠gmail.com

Can anyone help me get hold of a copy of the above? I understand there are 2 versions, 1 was shipped with the system and the field services version, which is a separately licensed product. My BA23 uVAX II is throwing machine checks, it seems like diags are the first place to start, any other suggestions? I have a TK50 on the box, is there a way of MOP booting diags?

Sun drive array

by compoobah＠valleyimplants.com

DEC had a SBB module that converts HVD to SE for FWD SCSI. Can't remember what it's called now, but the block can be dissected to the board, which has standard 68-pin internal & external connectors (external for HVD, internal for SE). 3.5" form factor, standard power. Pretty convienient

NEC APC boot disks CP/M-86 and DOS

by rich_bramante＠yahoo.com

Yes, I found Dave's instructions for hooking the 8" drive to a PC to transfer the images awhile ago, and like you realized I would not be able to get to such a project anytime soon hence my short-circuit request. I hadn't thought about going in the other direction and hooking a 5.25" to the APC. Has anybody else tried this? rich >Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2006 16:08:26 -0800 (PST) >From: Chris M <chrism3667 at yahoo.com> >Subject: Re: NEC APC boot disks CP/M-86 and DOS >To: "General Discussion: On-Topic Posts Only" <cctech at classiccmp.org> >Message-ID: <20060316000826.89285.qmail at web61024.mail.yahoo.com> >Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 > >if you get the little asterisk on yer screen there, >you're probably alright.

NCD firmware

by dgy＠DakotaCom.Net

Hi, I asked this on the REScUE list a week or so ago and belatedly realized *this* would be a better forum. So... Does anyone happen to have access to an NCD-19c/88K running firmware (i.e. boot ROM) more recent than 2.6.0? (this is displayed at the top of the screen during memory test/IPL; it is also visible from the NCD "console" once NCDware is loaded) Likewise, I am looking for boot ROMs newer than 2.6.1 for the NCD-19r (different beast). If so, I would love to get my hands on a copy of the ROMs (I can duplicate them if you are willing to loan them to me for 2 * mailing_time). I'd also be interested in new versions of the ROMs for the 14c (I'll have to see what the most recent version I have for these) Alternatively, if there is a repository on-line someplace that has these images... (?) I'd be willing to start archiving ROM images if there is a need (I have a few older versions -- though chasing down release notes for all of them may be a chore) Yeah, I know, they're all boat anchors... :> But, with a little TLC they seem to just keep humming... Thanks for any help! --don
