Hi there!
Sorry for the extra noise, but I don't know too many places to ask...
I've Always been a fan of DEC machines, and have owned severel VAX and
Alpha systems, but I've never owned a PDP. Might be fun. Anyone happen to
have or know of a MicroPDP-11/93 in BA23 pedestal with the KDJ11-EB board,
in fairly decent shape that they'd be willing to sell for good (but not outrageous)
compensation?
I've been warned that those might still be used in production, but gotta try
anyway... :)
Many thanks in advance!!
Hi,
someone wrote on this list, that the Disk distribution Paneel that is
mounted on the Back of the Backplane from some 11's are faulty and
will destroy data from the disks if two are connected.
I cn't find the posting now...
What kind of (wiring-) fault is this? Are there Fixes known?
Regards,
Holm

Hi,
does someone has a newer firmware Version for the UC07 as G143R?
I have a double UC07 in my 11/83 and have problems to get Disks
with 4Gbytes working. (DCAS-34330 50 pin). I have an Conner CFP2107S
wich has 2 Gigabytes, I can split the drive and successfully format
the resulting drives with XXDP or RT11. When I connect the 4GB Disks, even
when I fake the geometry to 2Gbytes, the controller successfully formts and
thest the drives, but an init du0: from updat in xxdp doesn't come back.
same with mdup.mu from an RT11 tape. It simply hangs.
Disk space isn't the concern why I'm trying to use the IBM drives, those
disk are quiet comparing to the conner 2107s, that is what I want.
Any Ideas?
Regards,
Holm

Howdy folks,
Trying to strike a deal in buying an Otrona Attache and a Dynalogic
Hyperion (or two) from different sellers.
The buyers didn't provide any asking price and are looking for offers
instead.
I realize there's few of these machines around, but they're not TOO rare
either.
Can someone give me a good idea what would be a good, fair offer on each of
these?
They all appear to be in mint working condition.
Thanks,
Anthony

I have one S/34 with 5211 line printer with manuals.
I have two S/36 - mini version with manuals.
Need to be picked up on Friday, May 18 or Saturday, May 19. Or they
will be junked.
MAKE OFFER
520 six zero three 8107
Location: BANDON
The S/34 is fairly large I think. The 5211 printer is a large band printer.

What makes would you suggest, beyond Tektronix and Hameg, are there any
other makes that are generally good and won't cost the earth second hand?
HP, Gould?

Not a lot lately. Mostly, I noodle around and see what text
games/apps I can port from the modern era back to a true 16-bit
machine (with limited process memory space).
Decades ago, before it was inexpensive to run UNIX at home, I set up
an 11/24 with dual RL01s. ISTR spending $300 on the 11/24 and at
least that much for more memory and a KT24 (I did not own the tape
drive - I did the initial setup on work hardware then took my own
packs home to run them). I went with Unibus because 22-bit Qbus
peripherals were still quite current with current prices, and the
11/24 was, compared to other options (11/44, etc), inexpensive for a
machine with enough disk and memory to run UNIX. At the time (mid
1980s), one could set up an ample RT-11 box for well under $1000.
UNIX on DEC hardware took a lot more resources than $1000 could buy
you in that era.
Simultaneous with these experiments, I was running UNIX on VAXen at
work - Ultrix 1.1 on an 11/730, Ultrix 2.mumble on a MicroVAX II, and
before either of those, 4BSD and System V on an 11/750. My first
experiences were on hardware that my employer paid well over $100K
for. I was happy to have something to run on my own that was around
1% of that.

Thanks Tony.
I guess there was a fair degree of customization possible at time of
ordering and the case decision depended a lot on the individual
customer requirement.
This machine has a controller for RK05 drives which takes 4 unibus
slots. It may have been the driver for the case choice.
