I was wondering if there's anyone in Seattle who wants to meet up and talk
about random stuff. I'm up here from Bakersfield for an interview.

A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing in e-mail?
The DEC Pro 350 I got came without a monitor, cable or keyboard. When I
power it up the diagnostic LEDs on the back all come on. The docs I have
suggest this means a system board error. However, I am not sure if this is
because there is no monitor or keyboard attached. Might this behaviour be
expected if I don't have anything connected to the video connector? I tried
connecting a terminal to the serial port just in case something happened
there, but I don't see anything. Does the Pro 350 use the serial port as any
kind of console port by any chance? I suspect not.
I am trying to identify what cable I need. I think it is a BCC02, but if it
is a colour machine it would be a BCC17, but I don't know how to tell if
this is a colour machine or not. There also seems to be a BCC03 cable used
on Rainbows, anyone know if that would work?

Hi Mike,
I know that's old stuff, but I like. Do you know where I can find GlobalView for X, because links on corestore are so dead. If you still have it I would be thankful if you can send it to me. Thank on future answers and actions. Best regards

Note that merely having differential inputs and outputs doesn't solve
all problems, you have to know what to do with them as well:

Would Vince Briel's Super Encoder do this function? http://www.brielcomputers.com/wordpress/?p=343

Hi,
I've got an BA23 Box with an M8190-AB lately (from Henk, special thanks to
you!).
The M8190-AB should be an KDJ11-BB 11/73 CPU. I have an MSV11-JE (M8637-E)
PMI Memory Card too and I'm wondering if I can use them thogether..
As far as I've read it should be possible if I put the memory below the
CPU, using it as plain Q-BUS memory this way. Can anyone confirm this?
What will happen if I put the Memory board at top in the PMI Order?
What are the differences from the KDJ11-BB to the KDJ11-BF? Are there
pictures to look at somwhere on the net? All I have found for KDJ11-BF with
google is exactly looking like my 11/73 CPU Board....
Kind Regards,
Holm

The 2532 _is_ pin-compatible for reading in a PET socket that's
expecting a 2332 masked-programmed ROM. I've had several 2532s in my
PET 2001N-32 (US version of the 3032) since the late 1970s, no
adapter.
These days, it's easier to build an adapter than find real 2532s.

Well, by golly, then that's what you should get; lots of them out there!
I generally find that when I have a round hole it's easier to find a round
peg instead of complaining about the corners on the square ones ;-)
I actually find an RS-232 serial interface the most flexible in terms of
machines I can connect it to, including through a USB <> serial adapter if
necessary.
I take it that "*all* your other devices" must be less than 15 years old
then, so what brings you to the Classic Computer List?
;-)
Ironic that folks on the "Classic" computer list don't even have a machine
with a serial or parallel port; I built programmers for both my PET and my
AIM65, not much more than a connector and a socket since like many classics
there were lots of available I/O pins, but from this discussion about
programmers it seems that actually _using_ a classic computer for something
useful isn't very common...

Not quite yet. Mike Willegal has done pin mappings to use an AVR as a
drop-in replacement, but hasn't written any software yet.
