I still have quite a few new rolls of 1 inch teletype paper tape. It would
be neat to trade for new 80 column cards, but no takers!
Anyway, I suppose I could sell rolls direct. These are the standard
teletype rolls, about 9 inches in diameter, and fit very nicely in a 33.
Ask off list, please...

Speaking of Burroughs machines, are any of their big mainframes
preserved anywhere? UDel had a B6700....

I just noticed a lot of new photos and brochures posted at the computer
history museum site. Look in both the text and still picture area. Some
nice stuff, especially on the early (pre-1960) computers.

Hey All,
I've got a Sun type 4 keyboard that I disassembled, cleaned and put back
together. It doesn't work. I've cleaned plenty of computer parts
before, so I doubt my washing/cleaning methods are at fault. Do any
common mistakes exist for re-assembly of these keyboards? I suppose it
could have been bad beforehand...... I've bought it as surplus, and have
no history with it. Furthermore, the IPX I'm working with recognized it
with only the small board connected, but with the small board unplugged
>from the board with the key contacts.
What do these keyboards use for a cable? I picked up what I think it
the right cable from the same surplus shop I bought the keyboard.
Thanks,

Mike sent me this, which is for the APSSUN converter box. This is the
same box that I have:

Here's the rest of the key mappings for the APSSUN:
Pause/Break + A - STOP
Again - F2
Props - F3
Undo - F4
Front - F5
Copy - F6
Open - F7
Paste - F8
Find - F9
Cut - F10
Help - F11
Mute - F12
Compose - * (keypad)
Vol + - + (keypad)
Vol - - - (keypad)
Combo keys are Scroll Lock or Ctrl+Alt.
eg. Scroll Lock + F7 = Open.
Just curious if anyone here knows anything about the "OM" tool which the
folks at DECWRL produced. The web pages are gone now but they're still
in google's cache.
It's a tool which will analyze binary files and produce an intermediate
RTL description which will allow you to retarget the code.
(shew - that has to be at least slightly on topic :-)
I'm fooling around with some old Alpha code and eyeing EM64T. Hand
translation is tedious and error prone. I've been doing automatic
translations from Alpha asm to C as a test, but I'm sure an RTL approach
would be much better.

Bear with me here - I'm within 1 month of being
on-topic.
I have a odd swmgr/inst problem on my 6.2 machine.
I've installed 6.2 base, the latest recommended/required
tardist (Sept. '99), POSIX and Y2k.
Now wenever I launch SWMGR, it complains
"Syntax error in mach expression TARGOS >= 1274627340"
I've figured out roughly what's going on
(something doesn't like a certain software level identifier)
but I'm not sure really what's going on or what to do about it.
Does anyone else have this problem? USENET is silent -
unusual on a SGI question.
trailer question - has anyone tried extracting the dev_IRIX4 files from IDO5.3 and
using them on IRIX 4.0.5? Haven't tried moving them over to
DouglasIRIS yet (4.0.5/3.3.2 dualie), but I'm rolling the idea around. file indicates that they are the
ecoff binaries . . .
back and forth, I know - don't have much of an attention span, I guess.
The CADDStation is still progressing, though.
