Anyone got a user manual for the above? Online or willing to place it online? I have a couple of those, working, and struggling to figure out how to change the setup. I've got as far holding the setup key, then ctrl-8 to get it to print the current settings, but can't figure out how to change baud rates and ports etc. Thanks Mike http://www.corestore.org 'No greater love hath a man than he lay down his life for his brother.

Happy Thanksgiving

by rodsmallwood52＠btinternet.com

Hi Guys Happy Thanksgiving to all my US friends on the list. A nicer more helpful bunch of people I have yet to meet. It looks like I'm coming over next fall to go the 2016 Chicago vintage show. I'll be bringing my traveling panel exhibit with me. Rod (Panelman) Smallwood

8" hard disk storage for unibus 11?

by tmfdmike＠gmail.com

Many moons ago I had a small fleet of pdp-11/04s, pulled out of a research synchrotron. (well, not *literally* out of the synchrotron, they probably wouldn't work if they had been...) They all had disk subsystems made by a company called Baydel; a 19" rack module, half-height like an 11/04, containing an 8" hard disk and power supply, hooked up to a quad-size Unibus card. Emulated a bunch of RK05s. Can't recall the nature of the interface between the card and the drive. Over the years I appear to have carelessly and unintentionally traded or given away ALL the bloody things! Anyone else have one, had one, or know someone who might? I've Googled and there's a deafening silence, apart from me asking the same question on Usenet ten years ago!

Large batch of DEC flip chips

by j_hoppe＠t-online.de

Here's the opportunity to buy&save batches of DEC flip chip modules. It must be several thousands, I estimate the total weight of the boxes to over 100kg. Most are "red" logic series, but other colors are there too. Apparently they are plugged from different machine types, maybe even PDP-10s or -12s. Of course I'm greedy! But while we have a PDP-12 and some DECtapes here, this amount is mostly useless and will occupy much precious space until the end of my days. So question: Is there any reasonable demand for flip chips in the community? And more difficult: any hint about the price I can offer? Thanks for your opinion, Joerg

flash (or ide) storage for unibus 11?

> For a classic/straightforward programming interface, the Massbus disks (RP04 and successors) are a good choice. That will take you just over 500 MB, if you emulate the layout of the RP07. Current thinking (at least my current thinking) is RK11 first then probably RP11, both optionally extended to support Q22 addresses. Also something we're calling the RQ11 which will be our "native" interface with variable sized disks with a 32-bit linear block address giving 2TB disks for those who are willing and able to write their own device drivers. Finally, most likely the RH11 for some Massbus disks with 22-bit addressing. After that, I'm thinking to call it good and move on to other projects though I'm certainly willing to talk to anyone who has a particular disk controller they want to implement.

> From: Toby Thain > it would be easy to interface to a board exposing such USB features > *from a separate Linux system* - because of that driver. Ah, OK - I'm so used to people putting Linux on the embedded processor in their rice cooker that, not clearly understanding what was being talked about, I assumed it was wanted to run Linux on the uC. Still, I guess I don't really see the value in making the QSIC, or some things plugged into it, 'available' from some other machine. AFAIAC, it's only a peripheral to the PDP-11. > I did end up studying MSCP ... in some detail though. Ah, we'll put you in charge of implementing the MSCP controller emulations, then! :-) (Those are something I oersonally have no interest in, but I can see a viable case for doing them.) Noel
