Hi,
Lately I've been writing down names I find in DEC maindec listings
(mostly pdp-11) and then using google and linkedin to try and track down
person. I suppose in some circles that makes me a stalker :-)
When if I find them I ask them my famous question (which I ask
everyone), "have any 9-tracks in your closet?"
Has anyone else taken on this task or found anything? I suppose I
should ask on comp.sys.dec also.
It looks like the diagnostic group did most of this work on a pdp-10,
both for the pdp-8 and the pdp-11. I'm hoping someone might have saved
a tape somewhere. It's happened before.

This is a request that appears from time to time in this and other lists.
Someone knows if DSM-11 (or DSM-15) know too as MUMPS is available ? I think
that Fred Van Kenpem put it available in one of its sites in some moment
during the past years but I lost the track of it.
Kind Regards
Sergio

Probably.

Of course not. EDT runs just fine on both TOPS-20, RSX, RSTS/E and
probably something else that I'm forgetting... What's your definition of
"modern"? I think Unix is older than all of the above mentioned systems. :)

Flipping through the manual for an Ithaca Audio IA-1100 video board, I
found this sentence, "Compatible with CP/M or Ithaca Audio's K3 Operating
System.". What was this K3? Google tells me absolutely nothing helpful.

Hi,
(The first paragraph is OT so you can skip if you want)
I just rediscovered the world of trading cards, thanks to model Chanel Ryan. She recently mentioned that she had some Benchwarmer cards, so I just bought one of her cards on ebay, which reminded me of my Buffy & Angel cardsets. I have a full set of Buffy seasons 1-3 and recently bought one from season 7 on ebay.
Whilst cataloging the cards (I wanted to know whether I had any spares I can sell online - I have plenty of spares for Angel season 1 if anyone is interested!) I started to wonder whether there exists a set for classic computers. If not, has anyone thought of attempting to produce a trading card set... though I suspect a card set (so you have a full set from the start, rather than having to trade to get the full set (hence trade in brackets in the subject title)) would be a better idea.
I was initially thinking of a set of say 90 cards, with one or two cards per computer, but then got to thinking that with so many computer enthusiasts on here perhaps a set per computer would be feasible? I guess it depends how much info you have per computer.
I realise the market for such things wouldn't be hugely profitable, but it would be great for someone like myself that only knows alot of computers by name.
Does anyone have any comments / suggestions? It's purely an idea at this point, so no orders please!
Regards,
Andrew B

Not too many folks out here refer to them as sockets anymore;
that term is typically reserved for light bulbs, though there is some
variation,
based on age, and geographical location.
Generally, people call them "outlets", but the NEMA terminology is
"receptacle".
Do an e-bay search on: +receptacle 20A 20 Amp (include the +
sign)
check-mark "include titles and descriptions" . . . and then sort by
price+shipping lowest first.
That should help you find what you're looking for. . .

Just realized I had to make another comment on this.
In TECO, the number before a command is not generally a count, but an
argument. Some commands use that as a count, while others use it for all
kind of stuff. It all depends on what makes most sense for the specific
command. If you really want a repeat, you'd better create a loop instead.
And in general, you don't have any arguments after a command, with a few
exceptions. So normally you just stack letters together, and they are
all separate commands.
(The commands that take an argument after the command that I can think
of are I (for insert, which inserts everything after the I, unless you
give a numeric argument, in which case it inserts the corresponding
byte) and O (for branching in a program, which takes a label string).
Oh, and all commands related to q-registers take the q-registername
after the command. (Hmm, there are probably one or two more, but I can't
remember them right now.)
