I just got a package from Hamvention with my spaces ... I'll be in 3127 and 3128. My plans are still to arrive on Thursday night and show up early on Friday morning to set up and check out the other flea market sellers. I'm currently in the process of seeing what other ARDF/transmitter hunting people might be available for dinner, but no reason it can't include classic computers! So if anyone is available, let me know. It should be a lot of fun!

Free for the taking HP/Apollo, vt100, wyse, Sun Ultra 5

by compoobah＠valleyimplants.com

The Apollos might be the "Hybrid" 400 series, they might even be the pizzabox 425. Whilst not pure Apollos, they have the advantage of smaller size, DOMAIN/OS compatibility, and built-in, supported SCSI for disks (just not big ones). Whatever you do, don't throw out DOMAIN keyboards/mice please. RI isn't on my route home, otherwise I'd probably bite for something. The HPPA systems probably have the possiblity of running NeXTSTEP/HPPA, definitely the BSDish HP-UX variant. As you said, big, unless they are the tiny 9000/712s

If so, have you got the contents of the EPROMs? If anyone does have them, I would like to add them to my collection of DEC(-related) ROM images. I have three images of Baydel EPROMs, all for their F11-311 RXV11 emulation board. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York

You can fit a very basic 6.5.x install in under 500MB, and a reasonable install easily goes into less than 2GB. The reason you have so many CDs is that you have the base OS and then extras like NFS and the compiler libraries which each have their own CD, then you have various updates and install tools, and separately the various new versions of applications and utilities. > But I > obtained these bizzarish 9.1 gig SCSI hard drives at a > computer show.

If what these disk have is something that looks like a shorter version of an SCA, on the actual drive itself, that is probably fibre channel. > I read somewhere that these SGI boxes > can use ANY?

Indys use single-ended narrow drives, but LVD drives *should* sense that they're in a single-ended system and operate in SE mode -- that's part of the standard. A couple of mine have LVD drives. Wide drives will also work providing you have the correct adapter -- you probably need one that terminates the upper 8 bits -- though you can still only uses unit numbers 1-7 (0 is the controller on SGIs). -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York
