I finally got a copy of the MRRT manual to read (thanks, Steve!) and it
does require that you have RT11 v4 to build MRRT. I'm sure a lot of the
sources were shared, but it looks like there were at least some components
(e.g. MRTGEN, DLLOAD) that were unique to MRRT11. There must have been an
extra diskette or tape that you had to get from DEC that had the MRRT
components. So I'm still stuck looking for a copy - if anybody has it or
has seen it, I'd love a pointer.
Thanks,

I think it's a removable cartridge for Lark disk from CDC.
They were strange units with a fixed and a removable disk on the same spindle,
with two couple of heads moved by the same linear motor.
You could access the fixed/removable disks as separate units.
The units were used also in Honeywell machines. I have two units in my
depot, but unfortunately no cartridge.
I only had a picture of it, and it seems very similar, if not identical.
I also have a DEC RC25 unit, designed with the same concept.
maybe this cartridge could fit there as well...
Could you take some other picture, and possibly the exact size?
Do you have also the drive unit?
If you can do nothing with this cartridge, in case you don't need it,
it could be interesting for me to have it...

Hello All,
Does someone known / has experience, with shipping HEAVY items ( 120 lbs ) From States to Europe ??
Cost and which carrier would be recommanded ??
My question is mainly about SHIPPING COST only, ( packaging cost excluded ).
Thanks

Is this shorthand for "FTDI" or is there another manufacturer?

I've used a FTSB USB to serial for connect to several macines, I do have
several adaptors to get te right levels and connector as the cable I have
is 3.3V LVCMOS. Other than the correct levels there are no issues.
I have no idea where the Baudot thing comes from as those terminals were
rarely used with micros and the standard asr-33 and adm/vt05/vt52/H19
terminals were all ascii.
Most of the serial USB to serial cables need a driver to match the OS to
the cable. Linux you use minicom and the correct ttyUSB port.
Note the cable must be able to do slow rates like 110, 300, 600,1200
as most of the older machines will generally not keep up with 2400
or faster (for most modem programs).

My last IPF system has been powered down and is staying that way.
(Except for possible Telnet, SSH, etc. 'test drives'.) I don't need/
want it anymore. I paid a pretty spicy sum for it (on a student's
income, driven by fiery enthusiasm), originally.
/Yes/, the fact that I'm offering these items for sale here means
also that I'm willing to ship internationally, naturally as long as
it's covered by the buyer. The object is located in the Netherlands.
The rx2620 can be delivered with the following:
- dual-processor Intel Itanium 9015 (SL9PC, released in 2007),
"Montecito" dual-core and hyperthreading processors with VT-x
at 1400 MHz with 12 Mbytes cache (up to ~533 MHz FSB, per
Intel ARK), installed in late 2011 (brand-new out of the box);
- up to 24 Gbytes ECC-registered DDR-SDRAM (I can also lower
to just 8 Gbytes);
- HP iLO/MP card, with on-board ATi Radeon 7000 and permanent
SSH license;
- LSI 1030 dual-channel Ultra320 SCSI LVD/SE, on-board, with
external HD68 connector included;
- HP rx2600/rx2620 card cage with 4-slot PCI-X riser board;
- Intel i82546 dual GbE NIC, on-board;
- HP slimline stock DVD-ROM drive (also burner available, which
I will happily 'hack' into the system; no, not an original
part, but it seemed to work, certainly as far as 'reading'
goes... never really found the opportunity or excuse to
burn anything from VMS).
There are loads of PCI, PCI-X, rx2600/rx2620 and even AGP+PCI-X
mixed zx6000-type card cage available (the latteris not officially
supported, but you can have it for free, with a FireGL X1, HP-UX/
Windows audio card and 'official' HP IEEE-1394a FireWire card
included, for HP-UX, Linux, FreeBSD, Windows for IA-64 or whatever,
if you should care for that).
In terms of PCI (3.3 V) and PCI-X options: USB 2.0 (NEC), LSI 1030
"FusionMPT" Ultra320 SCSI LVD/SE HBAs, Broadcom BCM5700-series GbE
NICs (including one or more AXP-compatible DEGXA original, DEGXA
mod.'ed and a DEGX2 mod.'ed), various rather interesting 'combo'
cards, for FC (850 nm, MMF, LC; HBA) and GbE (copper, NIC) and
Ultra320 SCSI LVD/SE (via VHDCI) and GbE (copper, NIC). I also
have a whole stack (6 or 7 of HP/Exar/Neterion Xframe 10GbE NICs,
which I used in my rx2600, rx2620 and DS15 systems and made MSCP
quite 'interesting'. Not to forget, non-"Mobility"/VMS-compatible
Radeon 7500 PCI (and AGP, for what it's worth... perhaps in the
ES47?)
I also have plenty of 'spare' items, like hot-swap zx6000/rx2600/
rx2620 type PSUs, PC2100 ECC RDIMMs, an M-cable, Itanium 2 (e.g.
"McKinley", "Madison", "Madison-9M", etc. era socket, like in
zx2000, zx6000/rx2600/rx2620, etc.) "Processor Tool", a bunch of
HP 3 1/2" HDD 'ring'-type sleds/brackets and more.
In other words, if there is anything you're looking for, I may
just have it and want to get rid of it.
I will also upload some pictures, in a follow-up, and can make
more on request.

Hello,
I have a BASF 6105 8inch floppy drive and would like to find information on
the jumper settings.
The drive is attached with a custom build cable to a linux pc to produce dmk
images. The cable
worked already with a Shugart 851.
Only one side of the 6105 drive is working, DS 8 inch floppy are not been
read successfully (only Side0 is accessible).
Might caused by jumper or the drive is out of order.
I hope that someone on the list might have a technical manual of that drive.

Does anyone know of anywhere I might be able to read some reasonably
detailed accounts of the operating systems of the Xerox Smalltalk
workstations and Lisp Machines?
