> What's LPS?
Laboratory Peripheral System (for Unibus PDP-11's) THE MINC was
sort of similar for the LSI-11.
I think all DEC machines up 'til the VAX had some X-Y point plot
display option. There were also attached display processors, like
the DEC 340.
Hey guys,
I've got a bunch of old 9 track tapes, including bootable tapes for a variety of systems, that I'd like to "backup". The tapes vary from MPE install, HPUX install, and misc DATA tapes (multiple formats). Some of the tapes are pretty old and I really need to archive them. I think CD's are gonna be around for a while so, that seems to be the most reasonable medium.
I know, I know... CD's don't last forever. That's a different topic and not something I can worry about right now.
I've also got a pile of spare 9GB HD's. I suppose I could dump the images there as well. With multiple copy's on CD and on HD's. The data should be safe.
There is a 9 track attached to my HPUX 10.20 box so, reading and writing the tapes is no problem. The HPUX box does not have a CD burner directly attached although, I can FTP files to a WINDOWS box and burn CD's there.
So the question is:
Can I just DD the tapes to a file and stick the file on CD/HD then recreate the tape from the CD when needed?
NOTE: Some of the tapes span multiple volumes. Is this gonna be a problem.
TIA,
SteveRob
Tektronix introduced it's T4002 graphics terminal in 1969
and the 4010 in 1972 (my 4010 has boards copyrighted in 1971
but the 4010 is not in the 1971 catalog).
The Tek 4012 & 4013 are in the '73 catalog and
the Tek 4014 & 4015 are in the '74 catalog.

OK, what's the earliest graphics display system held by any of you
collectors?
"graphics display system" is anything that creates a graphics image
with a display: calligraphic, storage tube, plasma, raster, etc.
Block character graphics don't count (or I would include my Commodore
CBM 8032 and all the stupid terminals :) .
My timeline goes like this, based on year introduced:
196?: Evans & Sutherland PS-300 terminal
197?: Tektronix 4010 terminal
1974: Tektronix 4014 terminal
1977: Hewlett-Packard 2648A terminal
Hewlett-Packard 1350A graphics translator
1979: Atari 800 microcomputer
1981: IBM PC CGA microcomputer
1983: Televideo TS-803 microcomputer
1984: Megatek Whizzard 1645 terminal
Diser Eve workstation
1984?: Tektronix 4105 terminal
1985: Sun 3/110 workstation
1986: Hewlett-Packard 2397A terminal
1988: NCD 14p X terminal
1989: Evans & Sutherland ESV workstation
1991: Evans & Sutherland Freedom accelerator
1993: SGI Indigo2 workstation

Hi !
I have several Pro 350 and a Pro 380 mostly with RD53 . I also have a Vax Statin 2000 with TP and extra Harddrive. This has two RD54 installed.
The sad thing is a non working Decna-K in one ofthe Pro's .
I therefor am on the lookout to buy a Decna-K card.
Please give me a note if you can help .
Thanks

I don't know anything about any RAID features, but the AIC-7880
supports Ultra-Wide SCSI, but not LVD. So assuming the firmware
also supports it, you should have UW and earlier support on that card.
The 7880 is the chip used on the Adaptec 2940UW and the 3940UW, but
the 3940UW is just a DEC PCI-PCI bridge with two 7880 chips hanging
off of it--basically two 2940UWs on the same card with a PPB to make
it fit in one PCI slot.
Some of the very late model Adaptec 2940UWs used a later chip (such
as the Dual and the Pro models) but the vast bulk of the 2940UWs used
the 7880.

Hi,
I think I have a have a 350 and a 380, and some extra boards. Do you have an
actual part #?
Are you interested in selling/trading the RD54's?
Thanks, Paul

I figured that out. SciFi's running Season One at the moment. I expect they'll start in on #2 later in the year.
Thanks...

I too just got a "new" DECmate/VT278. I?m a half-step ahead of Richard
in that I have a set of RX02's to go with it but the donor hasn't yet
been able to locate the software that he's sure he still has
"somewhere". I've downloaded some telnet images of OS/278 but I don't
have a PC running 8" drives to use to create the disks.
Can anyone help by providing a physical copy of an RX02 OS/278 boot
floppy?
Please contact me directly if you can send a disk.
In the meantime, if the docs remain elusive, I'll be glad to ring out my
VT278 - RX78 cable.
best,
Jack

I consider parting it out for spares to classiccmp list members. I
would like to see this box gone ASAP but I can hold onto it a while
longer if I have a guaranteed pick up date or time frame.
