Does anyone want any 14-7/8" X 11" continuous feed paper? I have a partial box full that I was going to just take to the recycling. Asking the cost of shipping plus a little extra for my troubles. These are over $50 a box new....How times have changed! Email me off the list. -Kurt

Practical Peripherals ProClock software? (Cindy Croxton Electronics Plus)

by wheagy＠gmail.com

Thanks. However, as you mention, this is a software package that is different than the software that came with the ProClock. It looks like this Comm software supports the ProClock, but does not provide the functionality of the original software. Also, trying to unpack this package, gets me into some odd circular exercise. It goes through two or three iterations of different package archive formats and ends up back at the original package. Any other leads to the Practical Peripherals ProClock software?

The Modem.mgr.ProDOS.SDK.bin apparently contains the software. Although it is modem software, according to page 1 of the manual, it supports the clock card that you have.

You might need a new battery before it works!

Hi, I have a Practical Peripherals ProClock for my Apple IIe. It has everything in the box, but I seem to be unable to read the software utilities disk. Can anyone point me to the software online or possibly send me a zipped image? I googled and cannot find anything. Thanks, Win wheagy at gmail.com*

VAX 7700 CPUs, CI cables

I was just looking at some of the old CI cables in the computer room floor. This is all bought-from-DEC stuff from early 1990's. The long ones are typically blue and labeled "12 AWG". They look a lot like RG-8/213 types. There are some skinny jumper cables on the CI panel internals that look to be a much skinnier kind of coax, also blue, looks like RG-174. In the "real world" I am much more likely to see LMR-400 or Belden 9913 specified today, than the RG-type specifications. Tim.

Western Digital My Book World Blue Rings "NAS" controller uses

by saquinn624＠aol.com

Recently came into posession of a WD "Blue Rings" NAS setup. I've rapidly come to the conclusion that it really isn't very good as a NAS, and doesn't even do what it's supposed to (I can't even get SSH to stay up or reliable connections from computers). It has a ARM-based board with an Oxford OXE800, VIA Ethernet, onboard USB, provisions for a serial port (provided I supply a level converter to go to RS-232 from the supposedly "standard" 3.3V to a real standard). The big downside is the BGA RAM chip with only 32MB. I guess it's probably in the junker category since there really isn't any way I can expand the RAM (1 BGA 256Mb DDR chip, no extra pads), but I thought I'd check because I've been interested in the Pi for a bit and then this dropped into my lap - any thing that can be done usefully with this HW?

In the market for hard disk drive for a PDP-8/m

by steve＠tronola.com

Hi Folks, I have been making good progress restoring a PDP-8/m and would like to buy a vintage hard drive and controller for it. Anyone know where I might find those? An RK05 or Diablo-31 drive would be nice. Will also need an RK8E controller board set. Have had some near misses: A Diablo-31 was up on eBay but it turns out that it's missing a head. Found an RK05 listed for sale on a fellow's site. After I agreed to buy it, haven't been able to get a reply, though. Located the controller listed for sale at another company site. The phone system takes messages but they haven't been returned (so far). Email bounces. Hmmm. Please let me know if you know of any possibilities. Thanks, Steve steve at tronola.com http://www.tronola.com/

XXDP AND E11 HELP NEEDED.

by wilson＠dbit.com

From: Jerry Wright <g-wright at att.net> > assign TT1: DDA > Mount DDA0: 'file name'.dsk > > E11 comes back with can't open file. The apostrophes (or quotations marks) should be around the entire filename, not just the part before the .dsk extension. And you don't need them at all if the filename doesn't contain blanks or forward slashes or other weird characters. > It will let me just mount it with out a file. but if > I'm going to write to it, I would guess there needs to > be a container file. It's true, a DD: controller with no working units isn't very useful! E11 doesn't give an error message though, since it doesn't want to be picky about the order of the ASSIGN TT and MOUNT DD commands. For all it knows you were just about to attach files/etc. to DDA.
