Re: Could someone make the list do the [cctalk] thing in the subject line?

A few folk oppose it because THEY don't need it because THEIR mail programs are successfully sorting by the header line of: "List-Id: "General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts" ? <cctalk.classiccmp.org>" A few oppose it because it will add another half a dozen to a dozen characters to already growing subject lines, and people might eventually have to start trimming some of the RE: Re: RE: from the subject line. I would find it convenient to have a visual indication "[CC]" of which messages are from the list[s] V which are similar subject lines from other sources. But, I can live with it either way, so it becomes an issue to be decided by who feels strongest about their needs. -- Grumpy Ol' Fred???? cisin at xenosoft.com

kinda odd LSI-11 machine?

by jwest＠classiccmp.org

Never saw one like this, but the chassis/cabinet doesn't look really homebrew to me.... https://post.craigslist.org/k/drQqW-KK5RG4d-7uD34-Xw/vi2lh?s=preview J

VCF East: April 15-17, 2016

by cctalk＠snarc.net

VCF East XI (yeah, I'm using Roman numerals for now) is April 15-17, 2016, as usual at the InfoAge Science Center in Wall, New Jersey. Friday's schedule will be classes and some kind of software hackathon. Details to be determined. Saturday/Sunday will have morning keynotes followed by the usual fare: exhibit hall(s), consignment, museum tours, food, and so on. Saturday's keynoter is Stewart Chiefet of the old "Computer Chronicles" television show. :) Still working on a keynoter for Sunday. Web site is not yet live.

Nextstep: Visions in black

by simski＠dds.nl

While copying some data from a bunch of Next HD's, i stumbled upon a snd file containing a song written for Steve Jobs, accompanied by guitar and handclaps from several people. Is this a known song? I was unable to find a better version on the web than the 8012hz sample I have here. -- Met vriendelijke Groet, Simon Claessen drukknop.nl

Testing bus transceivers

by jnc＠mercury.lcs.mit.edu

So, I have bought a number of DS8641 bus transceivers from a source in China, and cognizant of the claims that there are a lot of counterfeits coming from China, how can I test them to make sure the meet specs? I have a QBUS test board which I have constructed (it's basically just a single read/write register), so I can verify their _basic_ functionality; but the UNIBUS/QBUS specs give a number of analog qualifications, and it's those I'd like to check. Some of them I can figure out how to test, although a couple of them would seem to need special test rigs, e.g. input high threshold of 2.5V and low threshold of 1.4V, but I _think_ I can work out how to test those - a board with a pot on it, so I can vary the input voltage, and see where the output switches. (I'm not necessarily going to test every last chip, but I'd like to do random samples.) However, there are others of which I'm not at all clear how to test, e.g. output high leakage current of 25 uA. How would I test that? (And replies of the form 'use such and such an approach' probably aren't detailed enough for me - my analog-fu is pretty weak - so details would be most greatly appreciated! ;-) Noel

To-days Panelman Poser

by rodsmallwood52＠btinternet.com

Hi Guys! I am the happy owner of a DEC 3000 in other words an Alpha. It is fully working and boots VMS and goes into DEC windows just as it should. Its running a high res 23" colour monitor in RGB As you all are aware I spend my time recreating PDP front panels. (Hopefully the example panel will arrive to-day and I can release the current batch to screening. ) Anyway I thought it would be nice to at least get some pictures up on the Alpha and maybe do a little panel design on it. If you are asking why would I want to do that. Then I might suggest you may not be on the right list. So there you have it; picture display (gif, tif and so on) and a bit of cad on my Alpha (mono is fine.) What do I need and where do I get it? Rod (Panelman) Smallwood
