Sorry to disappoint you, but these will be for some model of Cray, either a later Y-MP, EL or T3 system, as we never had any Sun servers of that style at NCAR. I'll be working on extracting the tape contents into a file system this weekend to better determine what they contain.

Is it available in an "emailable" form? If not, perhaps someone with a running system can create an image and put it online.

Margot Comstock, co-founder and editor of Softalk magazine, to deliver keynote speech at KansasFest 2014

by pneubauer＠bluerwhite.org

FEBRUARY 21, 2014 --- KansasFest 2014, the Apple II convention, is scheduled for July 22 --27 in Kansas City, Missouri.Margot Comstock, co-founder and editor of the much-loved /Softalk /magazine, will join us with a keynote presentation. Comstock and Al Tommervik founded /Softalk /in 1980 to share the hardware, software, and people behind the Apple II.At its peak, /Softalk/ had 250,000 readers and uniquely offered broad and deep coverage of everything Apple II related, including programming, game playing, business use, and home use.Later, Softalk Publishing produced magazines for the emerging Macintosh and IBM markets,/ST.Mac/ and /Softalk for the IBM Personal Computer/./Softline/, a game magazine begun by Ken William's OnLine Systems and later renamed to /ST.Game/, was Softalk Publishing's second longest-lived magazine.Softalk Books published several books by the magazine's columnists and a Mac book by Doug Clapp. The Apple II magazine ran for four years before industry changes and expenses led management to cease publication.In that time, /Softalk/ earned many loyal fans, and a group of volunteers is working to archive and share issues.The Smithsonian Institution recognizes Comstock and Tommervik as pioneers of the microcomputer revolution and /Softalk/ as a chronicle of that revolution. KansasFest is an annual convention offering Apple II users and retrocomputing enthusiasts the opportunity to engage in beginner and technical sessions, programming contests, exhibition halls, and camaraderie. KansasFest was originally hosted by Resource Central and has been brought to you by the KFest committee since 1995. Any and all Apple II users, fans, and friends are invited to attend this year's event. Registration details will be announced on the KansasFest Web site in early 2014. For photos, videos, and presentations from past KansasFests, please visit the event's official Web site at http://www.kansasfest.org/.

ADDS Viewpoint 3A Plus terminal

by swtpc6800＠comcast.net

I have a ADDS Viewpoint 3A Plus terminal that is in working condition. It looks very clean, powered up and operated in the local mode. I just took it out of the box and haven't tested the RS-232 serial link yet. It includes the operator's manual and service manual. (I will put the manuals on bitsavers.) I reducing my collection and am looking for a new home for this terminal. I am located in the Seattle area and am not interested in shipping it. (30 plus pounds.) Michael Holley

Found two possible Cray OWS backup tapes

by cruff＠ruffspot.net

Among some old DAT tapes I am looking at, I have what appears to be some ufsdump format backup tapes from two Cray Operator Workstation (OWS) servers of year 2000 vintage, possibly from two Y-MP EL systems? These OWS servers ran Solaris. The tape for ows9607 contains 524MB of backups of the following file systems: /, /usr, /var, /opt, /opt/CYRIdump and /usr/openwin. The second tape contains 828MB of backup of ows9630 and may not contain the contents of /opt/CYRIdump. Does anyone know of a copy of ufsrestore that runs on Linux? If not, I'll have to see if the netbsd restore under stands it or grab the OpenIndiana (OpenSolaris fork) distribution. Anyone interested in the contents of these tapes?

Any more folk need SCSI CD-ROMs?

by lproven＠gmail.com

To my great surprise and considerable pleasure, I've just sold an NEC Multispin 3X CD for ?8.50 on eBay. I was less delighted to find a similar unit that I'd misplaced in the garage.

IBM Hursley's in-house museum in pictures

by lproven＠gmail.com

Taken by some clueless noob, though, as many of the pics only show the screen and keyboard and not the actual computer at all. This is one of those pillocks who thinks that the computer is the "disk drive", I suspect. http://www.zdnet.com/photos-from-the-first-pcs-to-the-thinkpad-classic-ibm-… -- Liam Proven * Profile: http://lproven.livejournal.com/profile Email: lproven at cix.co.uk * GMail/G+/Twitter/Flickr/Facebook: lproven MSN: lproven at hotmail.com * Skype/AIM/Yahoo/LinkedIn: liamproven Tel: +44 20-8685-0498 * Cell: +44 7939-087884
