It's obvious - two people used it at once for a couple of years.
Presumably they had half the keyboard each, and fought over the
mouse.

I found a TU-60 tape with what is apparently CAPS-11.
The tape label has the following texts :
DEC-11-OTSYA-A-TC
CAPS-11 V01-02
SYSTEM CASSETTE
A loose label lists the (apparent) contents date 09-aug-73 :
CTLOAD SYS 08-aug-73
CAPS11 S8K 09-AUG-73
PIP SRU 09-AUG-73
EDIT SLG 09-AUG-73
LINK SRU 09-AUG-73
ODT SLG 09-AUG-73
PAL SRU 09-AUG-73
DEMO PAL 09-AUG-73
Is the anybody who is able to image this tape so the community
can us it?

I've imaged a little stack of Displaywriter 8" disks and am starting in
on filesystem organization. With an EBCDIC filter I can see the data
plain as day. I've also got experience stitching together the
DisplayWriter files that come from the DOS-based system, so if I could
get the file allocation scheme figured out and lift off whole files from
these disk images, I bet the same conversion code would work on the
resulting data.
I've browsed the manuals on Bitsavers, but of course IBM never intended
their users to actually look at the bytes on the disk. So none of the
information was geared towards revealing the file allocation secrets.
Is there any reference material out there to help me decode (or find)
the file allocation structures?

The specs are as follows
Core 2 Duo 3.06ghz
14GB RAM
500GB Hard Drive
Adobe Creative Suite 6
Final Cut Pro 7 Studio
Final Cut Pro X
Office 2011
Its a nice machine great for video editing and document processing and
other tasks, Ive used it to work with my vintage machines.

Hi all --
As I mentioned a few days back, I recently picked up an 11/05 that's in
need of some troubleshooting. This weekend I've started getting more
acquainted with the details of the CPU set (reading through the
schematics and the various manuals (which are quite thorough, fortunately.))
Before I start getting too deep with this, I figured I'd see if maybe
I'm overlooking something simple -- I'm relatively green with Unibus
systems.
So here's what I'm seeing:
- At power-up, the system comes up in a halted state and I can load
addresses from the front panel switches into the address register, and
these are correctly loaded -- no stuck bits, etc.
- Toggling "Start" causes the "Run" light to go on and the system seems
to be doing... something (the address/data lamps flicker). Attempting
to halt the machine at this point does not work, but if I have the
"Enable/Halt" switch set to "Halt" and hit "Start" again the machine
does stop and the "Run" light goes out.
- Hitting "Exam" while halted has no effect (no data is loaded,
addresses are not incremented), and seems to lock the machine up -- I
can no longer load addresses via the front panel. Hitting "Start" still
puts the machine in the "Run" state outlined above, and once halted
again, "Load Addr" works again.
- Hitting "Cont" while halted puts the machine back in the "Run" state
regardless of the state of the "Enable/Halt" switch.
So it definitely looks like the Run state control logic should be looked
at...
The machine's configuration is very basic: the CPU set (M7260/M7261),
an 8KW core board set (G110, G231, H215), and an M903C Unibus
terminator. I've verified that these are all in the correct slots. Bus
grant cards are in the D slot of all four Unibus slots (and inserted in
the correct orientation, I hate those things...)
Thus far I've tested the power supply and voltages are spot on with
acceptable ripple. AC LO L and DC LO L are correctly going high after
power on, so that shouldn't be causing issues. I've gone through and
cleaned everything including the edge connectors. (I left the core
plane undisturbed, it's already been banged around enough...) I
double-checked the backplane for bent pins that might be touching other
pins.
I've checked the processor clock, and it's running properly and at the
correct rate (310ns). I've run the machine with just the processor set
with the same behavior.
Any other simple things I should check before I get seriously involved
with this thing? Fortunately I have a set of KM-11 replicas I got from
Guy Sotomayor a few years back so that will help immensely in debugging...
Thanks as always,
Josh

On the back of that, are CRTs best shipped with the screen facing down, or
forwards? Presumably it's also wise to unplug the neck board from the CRT
and secure it. What do people do about the HV transformer? They're normally
bulky/heavy and can lack support other than the solder connections on the PCB.
I?ve shipped tons of stuff through The UPS Store. They always do a great job packing.?

Im doing an Amiga Exhibit, Exhibiting my Amiga 2000 and Amiga Like
Operating Systems like AROS and MorphOS. So Im putting out the call
for peeps to bring out Amiga Stuff. Ill also be showing off The
AmigaGO- A portable laptop based UAE System, and the AmigaMini, A thin
client based Amiga UAE system.

at the university without a problem. UPS insists on either delivering to
the school's main office - on main campus, 3/4 mile away - or not
delivering at all, sometimes for days. Yeah, 3/4 mile isn't far - unless
the package is a case of disk drives.
Is it a Coke/Pepsi-style thing, where the carriers some how lock in their
customers? I've asked vendors from whom I buy routinely to use FedEx or
even USPS instead of UPS, and some say they won't/can't. I tell them I
won't/can't put up with UPS' sad excuse for service, so expect less
business from me. (Sometimes you just don't have a choice.)

My gf and I were only able to book a double queen room, So there is
space available if someone needs a room. Just split the cost of it with
us, 75 dollars for 2 nights.
Hello,
I have a VAX 4000-100A (54-21797-01) that gives P-cache errors.
I would try to understand if the problem can be fixed somehow,
or if the CPU / motherboard needs to be replaced.
Anybody has NVAX CPU datasheets, including pinout to check if there's
something
wrong with basics like power supply, cache invalidate signals, etc?
Thanks
Andrea
