Adolescent behavior, was Forget UPS was Re: Shipping Heavy/Large Items Via UPS

by brian＠quarterbyte.com

The list member's "homos" comment is in addition to the "Barney Fag" comment a few weeks ago. I put in a filter to delete the person at that time so didn't see the most recent example. Recognizing that we're dealing with an adolescent boy, the best response is to ignore him, whether the post is one of the childish rants or not. No comment or argument from this group is going to have any effect other than to please him. A filter makes this very easy, barring that, just don't reply to anything. Simple.

Spare Keys for DECwriter III?

by Arno_1983＠gmx.de

Also included in my recent haul of DECquipment was a DECwriter III printing terminal. This is believed to be functional, but missing the "N" key and the outermost key in the low left (adjacent to CTRL and SHIFT, is that "ALT"? "NO SCL"?). Just asking if anybody got those as spares from an old junker and might be persuaded to part with them. TIA, yours sincerely, Arno

I happen to like them. it's HP mon. I just don't think they command that much. Yes I do recall them being the rage back then. I even have a monochrome 360lx or something that I won for 1$ a couple of years ago. Like a fool I somehow plugged the wrong p/s in and started to smell caps. Haven't gotten around to opening it (if that's even practical). They're nifty.

Putr and tu58 problems

by g-wright＠att.net

I'm trying to read some tu58 tapes with PUTR. mount dd0: com1:9600 /drive:0 It finds the drive and just cycles the tape back and forth with out any errors, forever. . If I remove the tape, it errors on device not ready. Watching the LEDs on my Serial cable break_out there is activity on both line 2 then 3 as the tape cycles back and forth. I have used the same drive on a PDP11 to read the directory on some of the tapes with out any problems. what am I doing wrong here. - Jerry
