Did someone here need a Sun SPARCstation LX (lunchbox) drive holder?

by compoobah＠valleyimplants.com

I seem to recall somewhere someone saying they needed the metal drive holder part from a Sun lunchbox system. I got a LX case and drive holder on Sunday so - paging the person who needed one...

Friday Night Gathering?

by bpettitx＠comcast.net

Is anything set up for the VCF on Friday night? I know several out of towners are around on Friday. Any plans for a meal or mini-meeting? I can't make VCF on Saturday - my 10 month grandson is visiting and there are priorities. But Sunday looks good. I'll see you all there then. Billy

I'd save it myself but I like staying married. It was from USF's Center For Business Education and Research when they had an h/p time share system in the 70's. Has a RS-232 to current converter inside. Was in excellent shape and stored since then until they kinda dinged it a little and lost the paper feed knob. Price is "Free but pick it up in San Francisco". This can be posted on lists referring back to me. Maybe leave out the part about USF's gorillas. They tend to get offended.

Info about a Mullard Core

by gavin.melville＠acclipse.co.nz

Hi, I have had for many years a large core, and while I don't really want to part with it, I also see what little pieces of core sell for on ebay.... I was told when given this about 15 years ago that it was from a Burroughs mainframe which was installed at the Cadburys head office in New Zealand and that they had paid GBP 20,000 for it in 1960. I have been unable to find out if this was correct however. Does anyone on the list know anything about it ? pictures at http://www.flickr.com/photos/8788341 at N05/?saved=1 There are 921600 cores in the array, which is made up of 48x48 cores, 4 to a layer and 100 layers. _________________________________ Regards, Gavin Melville Senior Engineer Acclipse Electronic Ltd

Warning ATT-Yahoo now blocking cctalk as spam

by Watzman＠neo.rr.com

Re: " I just got off the phone with SBCglobal and discovered that they have begun filtering this list as SPAM/Bulk mail. I use a pop3 mail reader and have never accessesd their webmail before, so I am sure I never turned any filtering on. I was supprised to find that AT&T is no longer able to manage their own mail servers and are relying on the Yahhos at yahoo to do it for them. After about 30 minutes on the phone with India, I was able to get cctalk whitelisted for my account, but not whitelisted in general so others using AT&T Yahoo mail servers will likely still have problems." Of course, the people who are not receiving this are also not going to receive this explanation of WHY they are not receiving it. But it fails EVERY test for SPAM. First, it's not selling ANYTHING. Second, the recipients REQUESTED to receive it.

PCI floppy interface

by dgriffi＠cs.csubak.edu

Is anyone here qualified to design PCI cards? This morning I got the bright idea that since PCI floppy interfaces don't seem to exist, one of us ought to make one. I'm aware of the Catweasel, but it doesn't appear to behave as a bog-standard floppy interface. This wouldn't be a replacement for the Catweasel, more of a compliment, especially for machines that lack a floppy interface entirely or can't handle double-density 5.25" media. I can source the chips. Who here knows PCI? -- David Griffith dgriffi at cs.csubak.edu

An old dream come true: Iris Indigo!

In that sense only is it like an Indy. > I think he's referring to the design of the IP20 vs the design of the IP12, rather than the design of the rest of the Indigo. The core design of IP20 is quite similar to IP22 (but not as close as Indigo2 and Indy are to each other), using a MC1 and DMUX chips coupled with the PM1/PM2 modules, but the peripherals and their interfaces are slightly different- graphics interconnections, audio, etc. (SCSI is the same, and enet).

Short notice: Sun rescue (Seattle area)

by compoobah＠valleyimplants.com

I have an opportunity to grab a bunch of Sun stuff tomorrow. I know that there will be some SPARCstation, Ultra-1 and Ultra-2 workstations, and a bunch of undefined-but-Sun parts. Not sure about SW and docs. Does anyone have something that they want me to keep a lookout for and pass on? It's in Kent.
