Quest Super-ELF on eBay

by mc＠media.mit.edu

It's worth visiting the eBay page just for the huge photo. I see a lot of 4000 series chips, which begs the question. What voltage(s) did the ELF run at? I assume not 5V. --Tim

Looking for early versions of MicroVMS & VWS

Those kits patched back in functionality that was patched out before to prevent using it without paying license fees. I know of the following kits: - several kits to enable more concurrent users (up to the "unlimited user" kit) - DECnet endnode kit and DECnet full function (including routing) kit - Volume Shadowing kit - LAVC kit (Clustering kit for MicroVAXen/VAXstations) - maybe there was a kit for CI-clusters, too Layered Software was not locked by any special license keys back then at all. You've got to have the Hobbyist-License for legal reasons to run VMS V4.x and earlier, but not for technical ones! And some (but not all) of the kits are known to be available. > Somewhere up in storage I have a dead RD53 with VMS 4.x on it, it died > before I could make a backup. :-( One of these years I want to try to > revive the drive and get a backup of it. Good luck - not an easy job! > I'd love to get VAX/VMS V4.x running on a MicroVAX II, but realistically > V5.5-2 is far more practical and useable. IMHO it is not unrealistic to run VMS V4 on your MicroVAX I, MicroVAX II or VAXstation 2000, and boy, let me tell you: It's a lot of fun doing so! Yes, VMS V5.5-2 is maybe the last "classic" VMS version and I like to run it on my newer VAX models, too. But VMS V4 has got it's very special own charme! And if you've got more than a single disk drive you can always run several versions up to your choice. I must admit that I even run ULTRIX-32 V2.0 on my MicroVAX II sometimes. Ulli

The usual torrent sites are full of amiga and c64 software, > but not apple 2e. Does anyone have a source for these files? I > especially need the appledos 3.3 and/or prodos disks. Thanks. I'm not sure what you mean by BIN files. Apple II software is usually distributed as disk images that can be use in an emulator or transferred to real diskettes. The files are so small (an Apple II disk is 140KB) that bittorrent is not used. See disk images at ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/ See the FAQ at http://home.swbell.net/rubywand/A2FAQs1START.html -- Paul R. Santa-Maria Maumee, Ohio USA

ID unkmown Emulex boards

by quapla＠xs4all.nl

Hi, I found a few Emulex boards, and 2 of them doen not ring a bell. One is a CU2310402 and it has 4 50 pin connector headers, the other one is a SU2110401, and this looks like it is an SMD interface, but which one? Thanks, Ed -- Certified : VCP 3.x, SCSI 3.x SCSA S10, SCNA S10

I never got to play with an 11/73 back in the day (we stopped buying PDP-11 gear around the days of the F-11 chip), but I would not be shocked to learn that the J-11 is twice as fast as a MicroVAX-I. It really is dog slow. It's a good thing the MicroVAX-II was much, much faster or DEC would have been in trouble long before they eventually got into trouble. -ethan
