Raised Floors

by cruff＠ruffspot.net

I should have been more clear in my last response. The 2x2 grid of the floor tiles does not extend to the floor, but to an intermediate layer with wider spacing of the supports at the floor level.

Raised Floors

by cruff＠ruffspot.net

The NCAR Wyoming Supercomputer Center has raised floors of about 20 feet. The auxilary cooling and PDUs are installed down there. Needless to say, you don't pull a floor tile there unless you are on the facility staff!

FTGH - VAX Datatrieve binders

by toby＠telegraphics.com.au

These four binders are in Toronto, Canada. * VAX DATATRIEVE - User's Guide * VAX DATATRIEVE - Handbook * VAX DATATRIEVE - Reference Manual * VAX DATATRIEVE - Guide to Writing Reports, Guide to Using Graphics, Guide to Programming and Customizing But I don't see on bitsavers -- Can anyone else confirm? I have the ability to ADF scan before recycling. Or can ship to anyone prepared to pay cost. --Toby

I looked, but I don't have a picture in the under floor area when I was up there years ago, and didn't see anything obvious on the NCAR or Wyoming web sites. There is a video at https://www.youtube.com/embed/u4H7U5Weopw <https://www.youtube.com/embed/u4H7U5Weopw> that shows some of the support equipment briefly, but not the underfloor area.

M7264 Troubleshooting

Hah! Eureka! I had a brainwave, and decided to look at my machine with the serial console board pulled out! I then get the exact same behaviour on SRUN as you're seeing - a very brief spike every so often (about every 25 usec, here). So I'd be looking pretty hard at your DLV11-E; start by making sure it is configured correctly. Past that, you'll need prints; Manx claims there aren't any online, but there are a set in the jumbo assemblage, ET-LSI-11 (MP00706); the DLV11-E prints are on pp. 31-37. All you have to do to get a nice 'scope loop is to power the machine on; the CPU will dutifully try and read the RCSR, in a fairly tight loop. Probably worth picking up a spare DLV11 of some type for fault localization via board-swapping/etc; DLV11-J's can be found on eBait for not a large sum. Noel

Pleas ID this IBM system....

by jnc＠mercury.lcs.mit.edu

> From: Jos Dreesen > And so the story continues.... > https://ibms360.co.uk/ Wow, what a great recover, and a great site documenting it! Renting temporary local storage was a great idea; it would have been hard to get all that out of there on schedule any other way. (Alas, I don't know any hauliers who can help them get it all back to the UK!) They should have tried to get the raised floor too (I guess it wasn't included in the sale), since i) it'll be useful if they try and get the machine up and running, and ii) it'll probably just get scrapped. Although there may already be raised floor where they're planning to put it. Noel

Previously I only had the preproduction code listed in a US patent. I'm not sure when I'll have time to actually work on the simulation, though. My original plan had been to crack open an HP-01 module and try to read the ROM bits optically, as Peter Monta did for the HP-35. However, that didn't work, probably due to a passivation coating on the ROM dies.
