Cromemco 68000 on ebay

I don't think they were Cromemco's; they had the DPU (Dual, 68000 and Z80) that's on eBay, the XPU (68010) which is running beside me as we speak, and the XXU (68020, FPU, RTC) which is out on my porch, but when they needed an MMU (for UNIX) it was always on a separate card AFAIK. mike

Excuse me if somebody has reported this problem. I did not subscribe to receive emails, and depended solely on the archive. But the archive has not been accessible for weeks. vax9000

language misuse (Was: laser scope

Need VMS media for Itanium

by ssj152＠centurytel.net

I've just purchased a small Itanium server, a HP RX2600. I see that it will run Windows Server, Linux, and best of all - OpenVMS. Since there isn't a hobby distribution for 8.3-x (both OS and Layered Products), will someone with the current media who is willing to share please contact me off-list? I will gladly provide media and pay postage, etc. I am a LONG time member of DECUS, and later Encompass and a member on the hobbyist site. I joined DECUS in 1981 when I was working with PDP-11's. I've been working with VAXen since 1983, and more recently Alpha's. This Itanium will be a new and welcome (I hope) experience for me. I miss VAX assembler, it was like programming in a high-level language compared to anything else I've worked with. Thanks in advance, Stuart J., on list as ssj152

This might be because I am loading NISCS_LOAD.EXE from VMS 7.3 and my MicroVAX II only has a DEQNA which I believe 7.3 does not support. I believe I may need a version of VMS prior 5.0, so if anyone does have media for older versions that they can make available that would be great (don't need necessarily need physical media).

Tehc Tip: Lubricating Dot Matrix printers...

by jrr＠flippers.com

I had a problem with an old Dot Matrix printer that was part of a Computer Portrait machine Ihad sold to a film company - it would only print in one direction then complain that the unit could only print to the left. Turns out the head slider and rollers were almost seized from dried out lubrication - so pay attention to motors and other moving parts in older computer systems - they all need periodic lubrication and inspection for free movement.
