I would suggest asking for help on the sane-devel mailing list which despite it's name, is also for general users. I haven't been there for a while but last time I was, there was lots of lively discussion. http://www.sane-project.org/ Regards, Peter Coghlan.

Old fiujitsu scanner

by fast79ta＠yahoo.com

I've acquired on old enterprise/small office 11x17 ADF scanner. Came with everything except a cable, and any sort of support. I've tried signing up for the KoFax forums, but seems to be dead. Have to wait for an admin to approve me, and it's been a couple weeks now with no action. Its a fujitsu M3097DE, with a first generation KoFax VRS card in it. The card is a Fujitsu CG01000-440201 (sticker) or kofax 13000125-000 (PCB silkscreen) It also came with an KoFax Adrenaline 650i PCI SCSI Scanner card, which I have it on good authority, was used with the scanner. The card has a HD68 external scsi on it, and the scanner has 3 connections (2 for rs232 control, and video. These are supposedly disabled with the 3rd party card installed), and one for the VRS card (which is DB37). As I understand it, it was a package offered by fujitsu. But, can't find really any info on it at all. Especially, what kind of cable it took. Anyone have any familiarity with such a beasty? It would be great for scanning a lot of my old documentation, because it does two sides at once, 200 dpi, grey scale. Thanks

2314 parts on epay

by jws＠jwsss.com

These are horribly overpriced as is all the vendor has, but this auction includes three cans of hydraulic fluid for these drives and some other plumbing. http://www.ebay.com/itm/180899093505 There is another auction for more 2314 equipment http://www.ebay.com/itm/180899093355 Also if you look at other auctions, he is very proud of several Department of Defense manuals about card and unit record equipment. Maybe that is rare enough to be worth $500 / manual, but I'm not a buyer at that price. Jim

He purchased this several years ago from a man in north Georgia who said it spend the 1990s answering the phone at a utility company. My dad kept it in his classroom while he was a high school technology teacher, but now that he's no longer teaching it's gathering dust on his carport. There's a VAXstation 3, DECvoice unit, two hard drives, and a tape drive in an enclosure on wheels. There's also a VT420 terminal. You can see some pictures of the equipment at http://www.flickr.com/photos/puerexmachina/sets/72157622981044137/ Please pass this on to anyone you think might be interested! -- All the best, Brian Pitts

Webserver performance on VAX [Was: Retrocomputing ... VAMP ...]

The VAX has quite different relative performance characteristics to current standard target x86/arm platforms in terms of memory bandwidth, context switch cost, function call overhead and suchlike. I wonder how various web servers perform on a VAX? Obvious ones to test would be apache (1,2.2 2.4), nginx, thttpd, bozohttpd (those are just the ones I've used myself), lighttpd. yaws and mono-xsp could be interesting is erlang and mono compile :) A simple static test and maybe php with fastcgi for a start. I'd probably just use apachebench from a fast local x86 box. Does anyone else have suggestions as to web servers or different tests that might be interesting?
