I dug my GIGI out of the pile this weekend, during a visit to my stuff
in Kansas City. I notice it is running out 4 bnc's and recall that the
Dec monitor I had at one time had that sort of feed. Is it as easy as 4
of 5 wires (sync on green maybe) to get it going?
I also have an aging cranky 24" Viewsonic which has BNC inputs, but when
it goes poof, I'd love to have this as someething I can still run with
an LED display.
I know there is a GIGI discussion in the archive somewhere and will look
for it to see if it had a monitor discussion associated with it.
thanks

Hi
I was sent this link with a film of an early 3D computer rendered
animation by Ed Catmull and Fred Parke:
http://nerdplusart.com/first-3d-rendered-film-from-1972-and-my-visit-to-pix…
I'd love to know more technical details and also if it really is the
first 3D film. Henri Gouraud published his techniques in 1971, this must
be a very early application at least.
Kind Regards,
Pontus.

Too bad you don't live further northeast. That drive would go nicely
on either the 990/10 or the 990/12 at the RICM.

Are there any P112 users who have updated their P112 boot roms to version
5.1? I just got a batch of 5.1 roms from Terry Gulczynski and I find that
they won't boot CP/M 2.2 as downloaded from p112.sourceforge.net. I have
only a very crude understanding of what's going on under the hood, so I'd
appreciate some help in figuring out what's wrong.

Hey all!
I went to fire up my DEC Personal Workstation 500au the other day and it
doesn't boot up any more :(
I don't get anything out of video or the serial console and the
diagnostic lights all go out (00) rather than displaying an error or
booting message. The battery in it was dead and I replaced it but to no
avail.
Anybody come across this before and know how to fix it?
Thanks!

I'm in the process of getting a mongrel Sun 3/400 machine running as a host for my Symbolics UX400. The UX400 support software requires SunOS 4.1 which I used to have on CD, but I now appear to have misplaced. (I have a copy of 4.1.4, but it only supports Sun4 machines
)
Anyone have a copy they could make an image of? (and yes, I've confirmed that this machine will boot from CD.)
Thanks!

I would like to find out the original prices of some of the DEC equipment I
have when it first came out, preferably the UK prices. I only have a couple
of catalogues but they don't cover all the things I am interested in. If
anyone has catalogues and could scan the pages with prices and options etc
that would be great. The equipment I am interested in are:
MicroVAX II
MicroVAX 2000
MicroVAX 3100 (Models 30, 40, 80, 95)
VAXstation 4000 VLC
VAXstation 4000 Model 60
MicroVAX 3400
PDP11/24
VT220
VT420
LA50
Alpha 433au
DEC 2000 Model 300 AXP
DEC Professional 350
Thanks

I have a small Hewlett Packard / Moseley plotter here, probably from
the mid/late 1960s? available. I was going to scrap it, but maybe an
HP fan might want this, as it comes from a not well known division of
the company. It looks like it can do 11 by 17, and seems to have
digital and analog inputs. Untested, a bit dusty and grungy.
I figure there is about 15 bucks of scrap in it, so if anyone wants it
for 10 bucks, please speak up now. Of course, feel free to offer more.
Off list, please.
Maybe 30 pounds, from 10512.

You *carried* an AR88 on a train??? They weigh, what, 45 kgs? You must
work out a lot...
I used to have a BC-312M. I really regret having got rid of it. That was
a nice piece of equipment.Not quite as heavy as the AR88 but quite heavy
enough to break your foot if you dropped it on one of them. The foot
would be severely damaged but not the BC-312M...

the Gimix 16K memory board for the SS-50 bus. Unlike the 32K card,
there doesn't seem to be a lot of rhyme or reason to this one.
Thanks,
