Would anyone have any of the MM57109 numerical processor chips ?
I had no luck finding this at any of the parts suppliers.
This was made about '78

About a year ago I was given a 3B2 1000/70 by Josh Dersch that I've finally
gotten UNIX booted on (in a fashon). I've been spoiled by modern variants of
UNIX that include the disklabel program in the miniroot, and it seems that 3B2
System V doesn't.
The FAQs seem to address either installing on a MFM drive (V3 (500+) 3B2s are
SCSI based), or bringing up a drive in parallel with a valid install (the
original drive died), or installing on an AT&T sourced drive that's already been
labeled (not an option).
(A) Does anybody have the "3B2 Computer Maintenance Utilities" or "IDtools"
floppy image floating around, or is this the one that I have with filledt and
dgmon on it?
(B) is the SCSI-FMT tape the equivalent of IRIX's standalone fx for setting
up completely blank disks? (the one I'm using is an ex-Sun Seagate).
(C) backplane slots: my machine is an interesting hybrid: it's a 3B2-1000/80
backplane with a 3B2-1000/70 system board. I'm trying to figure out if I have
Pbus (looks like these are just an extention of the system bus), B?Bus (some
buffered permutation of the above?), or something else entirely, since this
machine came to me with a PE card (multiprocessor board). How much of the wiring
is backplane-dependant, and how much is system board dependant?
Anyone have spare bits for one of these? I wouldn't mind a network card, or
more I/O (serial or serial/parallel).
One further warning: if you use a SCSI cable scavanged from a dead HP 9000
Nova class (or the HP 3000 equivalent), be forewarned that on the end that
connects to the backplane the IDC connector is installed backwards (as opposed to
the ends that connect to the disks). I blindly assumed that SCSI was SCSI and d
idn't think to check until it didn't work.

Several months ago I upgraded my PC system to Debian 4.0 for several reasons,
including being able to use X11R7.1 which was supposed to be a most excellent
upgrade.
I have had nothing but trouble attempting to run it as an X server for my
classic-ish machines. IRIX 6.5.30/Origin200 gives random X-server crashes (when I
try Xnest it crashes both Xnest and the parent X), and there is likewise
wierdness when I try to use it to connect to my VAX 4000/200 running VMS v7.3 and
DECwindows/Motif 1.2.6 (in Xnest windows will migrate outside of the
designated server (to the :0 server), and running on it's own screen with XDM the
server will often reset before I get the DECwindows "desktop", dropping me back at
the XDM login screen).
Anyone seen these types of problems before? It seems as though X11R7.1 just
"doesn't work" remotely with R6.X and R5.x clients reliably (haven't tried it
with my Suns or HP boxes). I currently was given a "new" machine (as in not
classic), P4/2.8 with an nVidia 5200 (which might be the problem source) that I'm
running. I've been considering whether this would be fixed in X11R7.2 or
whether I should try to do a parallel install of X11R6.4 or if I should try it
with a Rage128 card in place of the nVidia.

Is there someone here who has 1) sucessfully built an IOB6120 board for
the SBC6120 and 2) would like to do it again? I have an IOB6120 kit that
I'd like to finish, but after doing one of the harder surface-mount parts,
I realize that I don't have the skills or tools to finish with the really
hard parts. Is there someone who'd be interested in building my kit for
me in exchange for goods or money?

A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

Any interest in a Tatung Super COMPstation-20S SPARCstation 20 clone?
Currently has 2xSM71 and 208MB and TGX graphics.
If anyone has a hot yen for a HP9000 G70 (dual-processors with max RAM
(768MB), I've had HP-UX 11i running on it), I might be easily persuaded. It's an
unracked ex-rack model, so the front bezel is loose but present. Includes console
cable and redundant power supply units.
Also, it's sounding like the guy I was going to send my Origin200 (base
model, 1x180MHz and 200-somthing MB RAM, no skins) to might be no longer
interested, so that one could be available.
Also have a set of purple SGI Indigo2 feet and a Xyplex Network 9000 terminal
server (~20 ports, TS720 with Flash boot), and an almost-new-in-box (removed
for testing) Litronic Argus 2102 SCSI PCMCIA reader.
On the flip side, if anyone's getting rid of any little Alpha boards/systems
that take an EV56 or better or 3B2 stuff I'd be interested provided it isn't
the expensive stuff.

I have a working Victor (9000) PC here with a HD. But for reasons
unknown , it does not having any normal DOS files other than what it
takes to run the machine. It does have Wordstar and procom but
no format or any other external files.
I want to back up the Hard drive and make a bootable floppy. This
system, I would guess, use special Version of Dos. I saw a thread
here last year on these, did anyone get a boot disk going. I believe mine
might also have memory problems. did they have test programs for these .
Thanks, Jerry
Hi Out there!
Anybody got the software for comtrol of the Thurlby LA160 logic analyser?
Please Please send me a copy.

All,
Interested in finding the above item. I know they exist, but I have never
encountered them in the wild. Have a nice VT-180 system waiting to go on
the network and party like it's 1979 :-).
I have an extensive collection of Corvus software, hardware and
documentation and can offer interesting pieces in trade.
Please contact me privately if you can help or know anyone who can.
Steve
