I have a set of 8MB memory modules. Installing any two of these the Model 40
will recognise 16MB. If I install a second set in the second set of slots it
only recognises 24MB, but I am sure that one point it recognised them as
32MB. Is it possible that my memory is not serving me correctly, do the
second and third pairs of slots only support 4MB modules?
Thanks

Picked up an old terminal today (even though I'm *supposed* to be
slimming down my collection... sigh). Just couldn't resist.
Its only identifying marks either internally or externally are the name
"Infoton". There does not appear to be a model designation.
I've put up some pictures at http://yahozna.dyndns.org/scratch/infoton/
(warning: large images)
Logic appears to be TTL, there is no CPU as far as I can tell. Date
codes on ICs are from '72-'73, and one of the boards and the keyboard
PCB have labels indicating "12/73" so I assume this particular model is
>from late 1973. It appears to talk current loop and RS-232 but I have
no idea what the wiring for the connector is (or even what *kind* of
connector it is -- see the pictures above).
I haven't had a chance to clean it up yet, but after a bit of contact
cleaner on the power switch, it appears to work fine, at least in local
mode. Seems to do 80x24 chars, uppercase only with underlining. Infoton
shows up in termcap/terminfo entries, so that's a good start...
Anyone know anything else about this beast (history, tech specs, etc?) I
believe, from my research thus far, that Infoton later became General
Terminal. (General Terminal is rather hard to search for on the 'net
due to it being a fairly common phrase... so I'm not sure how helpful
that's going to be...)
Thanks as always,
Josh
Your Omnikey post is still floating around the net. I paid $200 for my
spare and
couln't compute without it. Standard keyboards have empty spots where
their should
be keys. I can't see the keyboard when I type and this is the only one
which essentially
can be operated by feel.
enjoy.

Well... I have one I'd like to trade for a Micro-PDP-11/73, since
right now my souped up /73 is masquerading as a MicroVAX II. :-)

So basic connectivity is OK, you just have an FTP problem.

I'm running UCX 4.0 and my UCX experience is limited, but on
my box "HELP TCPIPTRACE" is the place to start. For today's
problem, however, it's unlikely to help as you'll see an
attempted connection and a failure (SYN from PC, RST from VAX
at a wild guess). It might be worth a shot as it might
show that the initial connection works and something goes
wrong later on.

That sounds like nothing is listening for FTP.
Try:
$ UCX
UCX> SHOW SERVICE
Does that list FTP?

I'm looking for the badge for a MicroPDP-11/83 that goes on the Front
Control Panel of a BA23-A enclosure. I don't know that "badge" is
the correct term, but it looks something like:
<http://dundas-mac.caltech.edu/%7Edundas/retro/83badge.tif>
Alternatively, the entire Front Control Panel assembly, with the
MicroPDP-11/83 badge, would be of interest.
If you have one for sale or trade, please contact me.
Thanks,
John

Try running a packet capture on the VMS end.
Can you oing from windows to VMS?
Can you telnet (not to the FTP port) to the VMS end?

I recently had the exact same problem trying to get some files
transferred to a VMS 7.3 system from a Windows 7 system so that I
could then MOP boot another system from the VMS 7.3 system.
I ended up downloading and using the open source GUI FileZilla FTP
client as the quickest way to get the file transfer task done at the
time. http://filezilla-project.org/
