Intersystems/Cache used to have a free 'developers' license for their
CACHE (sorry, no accent) product, at least on Windows (and the Mac as
well, I believe). Ok, I just went and checked... their Cache product
is available for free eval on Windows, Mac and Linux. It's the single
user version.

InterSystems is still actively supporting and marketing MUMPS. Now it's called CACHE. Popular in the health care field and to a lesser extent in finance.

Hey folks, I know there must be some VM types out there. Can
someone tell me the name of the file, and the minidisk on which it
resides, that contains the logo image that is displayed on terminals
upon connecting to a VM/370 or VM/ESA system?
I know where it lives in z/VM, but it doesn't seem to be in the
same place in earlier generations, and literally hours of digging has
turned up nothing.
Thanks,
-Dave

It'd be a shame to see it scrapped; it is a bit on the large and heavy side,
but a fairly rare example of an unusual style/configuration. Wonder if
it has a hard disk drive (14" 5MB platters) or line printer.
But as mentioned elsewhere, the diskettes are perhaps even more important,
depending on what's on 'em, and also any manuals.
Is the one at MARCH actually running?
I'm pretty sure I reformatted all my B80 disks and tossed my manuals
long ago, but ya never know; I'll keep my eyes out.

I got to do a little MUMPS and I understand the criticism of someone
coming from a world where reduced normal form relational databases
are the expectation. There's a lot of homegrown MUMPS code out there
that does not conform to anyone's critique of architecture and style.
But that has more to do with the accessibility of MUMPS and the decades
old nature of the code and data, IMHO, than with anything intrinsically
bad about MUMPS. I get to deal with a lot of legacy code!
Now, to see something that shows true vitriol towards a software
product, you have to not only read "The Cognitive Style of Powerpoint",
but meet Edward Tufte and let him lay into it verbally :-).

hello everyone,
I am looking for the data sheet of the dlart dc319.I did not find it ,I
found only a few informations in micronote 33,and schematics using it in
several cpus.If someone has the file or any pointer,I'll appreciate ?the
purpose is to look
what it really does and how,and the differences
with standard dl11 devices.
thanks very much ,best regards

I seem to recall DSM-11 using DOS-11 type filesystems on tape and
disk. That was a long, long time ago, so my memory may be faded!
Tim.
I'm doing a bit of research on Mumps history and would be glad to know if
anybody has copies of the following:
1. DSM-11 (which OS did it ran on the -11?)
2. VAX/DSM
3. DSM for OpenVMS (Alpha)
4. DSM for Ultrix (MIPS or VAX?)
If it can be run on SIMH, it'd be great!!
Thanks.

Yes. I worked with *one* 11/53 ("MIcroPDP-11") that had DSM on it.
It was assuredly its own self-contained environment (i.e., no RT-11
underneath, no RSTS, no RSX, no UNIX - just DSM from the moment the
boot block was read in.

Those are too "new" to be part of my experience.
>> If it can be run on SIMH, it'd be great!!
ISTR that there was nothing unusual about that MicroPDP-11 except
perhaps it had a 9track tape controller in it (not unique, but
certainly unusual in 1988-era PDP11s..

I picked up an A500 recently. All I have for a display is the mono composite
out. Can I make an adapter for the RGB out to either VGA or component? If
not, where can I get an appropriate monitor?
Thanks
