ISO Technico info, pics, doc scans, etc.

by jbdigriz＠dragonsweb.org

Models SS-16, TEC-9900-SS, TR-9000-SS aka Technico/Rosse TR-9000-SS "Super Star", or any other. I think a couple of list members have indicated here or elsewhere in the past that they had SS-16's at least. Thanks for any help, jbdigriz

Probably the wrong list to ask

by van.snyder＠sbcglobal.net

This is probably the wrong list to ask, but maybe somebody could forward it to a more appropriate list. I have several of my father's books on electrical engineering. If anybody wants any of them, let me know.

Nine track file marks, Burroughs

by drb＠msu.edu

Folks, I've now seen two Burroughs tapes where some of the expected file marks between labels and file data were apparently missing. I think a reasonable description of these is "Burroughs/Unisys B6x00 'Library/Maintenance' tapes with ANSI-69 labels" Reading drive is a Cipher GCR Cachetape with SCSI interface The one I read yesterday read in streaming mode and reported no read errors. I tried re-reading it today, and it read in start-stop mode, but still didn't have the missing file marks. (It also encountered a few errors, and eventually ended up sticking to the head, this time. Guess that bake cycle was a one-shot, which isn't a surprise.) This tape is a "Burroughs Series 7 / 100% Tested / 3200 FCI" 1200 foot reel written at 1600 BPI in 1986. Here's the beginning of the tape: file 1 record 1 size 80 00000000: e5 d6 d3 f1 f0 f3 f6 f1 f3 f0 40 d7 d9 d6 c7 d9 VOL1036130 PROGR 00000010: c1 d4 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 f6 f5 f3 f0 AM 6530 00000020: f3 f0 f5 f0 f3 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 30503 00000030: 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 00000040: 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 f1 1 file 1 record 2 size 80 00000000: c8 c4 d9 f1 c6 c9 d3 c5 f0 f0 f0 40 40 40 40 40 HDR1FILE000 00000010: 40 40 40 40 40 d7 d9 d6 c7 d9 c1 f0 f0 f0 f1 f0 PROGRA00010 00000020: f0 f0 f1 f0 f0 f0 f1 f0 f0 40 f8 f6 f2 f0 f2 40 001000100 86202 00000030: f8 f6 f2 f3 f2 40 f0 f0 f0 f0 f0 f0 f0 f0 f0 f0 86232 0000000000 00000040: f0 f0 f0 40 c1 f9 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 000 A9 file 1 record 3 size 80 00000000: c8 c4 d9 f2 e4 f0 f1 f0 f2 f4 f0 f1 f0 f2 f4 f3 HDR2U01024010243 00000010: f0 f1 f0 f1 f0 f0 f0 f0 f3 f0 f0 f0 f0 f0 f0 f0 0101000030000000 00000020: f0 f0 f0 f0 f0 f6 f4 f0 f0 f1 f3 40 f0 f0 f6 f4 00000640013 0064 00000030: 40 40 f0 f6 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 06 00000040: 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 file 1 record 4 size 2070 00000000: 40 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 12 03 03 04 ............... ...etc. Is oddness with file marks something others have seen with Burroughs tapes? Something the Cipher drive is known for? Moon phase? Incorrect fifth digit of my SSN? I've not had this missing file mark problem with tapes written on other vendors systems - Prime, IBM, DEC. Cluebats appreciated. De

PDP-11/34 /04 power knob anyone?

by fritzm＠fritzm.org

Hi folks, I?m working on an 11/34 at the moment, with the programmer?s console, and it is missing its front panel power control knob. I think it is the same one used on the 11/04? Anybody have a spare in their parts stock that they?d be willing to part with? (I?m also missing the plastic half-panel for the front, but I do see those go by on eBay from time to time.) cheers, ?FritzM.

Got DSM-11 running, any manuals online?

by dick.curtis＠ymail.com

ftp://ftp.intersystems.com/pub/msm/docs/msm43/users.pdf is another source for a manual.? It's the version which Micronetics sold, of which I heard "Micronetics shamelessly? copied DSM-11?practically line for line to the PC."??So the manual is probably close enough to work. HTH,Dick

cc:Mail Router for NT

by tomas＠basun.net

Hi all, I'm using a HP 200LX to connect to a cc:Mail installation, with a null modem cable. It has worked better before, but now I don't seem to be able to connect at all. This is the output from the router, when trying to connect from the 200LX: | C:\CCMAIL\Router>C:\CCMAIL\Router\NTROUTER.EXE C:\CCDATA MODEM/PBX COM1 DIAGNOSTICS/F LOG/C:\CCMAIL\Router\ROUTER.LOG | cc:Mail NT ROUTER Version 6.10.00.4 | Copyright (c) 1986, 1997 by cc:Mail, Inc.

The log files are empty. There are no other error messages anywhere that I can see. Anybody recognises anything? Any ideas about things I can try? Here is the modem file: | [attributes] | MODELS=Null | NULL MODEM=1 | [commands] And another thing is that I only seem to be able to get a response at 1200 baud (the router default) by not specifying a speed when starting the router. If I add the speed to the command line (the first line above), any speed, (and the corresponding setting on the Palmtop) then there is no connection at all. It has worked better earlier. I managed to connect at 9600, but that was a different PC. I am not aware of having changed anything relevant on either PC or Palmtop. Any help appreciated. /Tomas

Rod Coleman's personal history of founding, building & running SAGE

by lproven＠gmail.com

This may be old news -- it was new to me, though. https://suddendisruption.blogspot.com/search/label/Booting%20Sage%20Computer I'm not really familiar with SAGE machines. They were not as well-known in the UK, I think, being upmarket from the Apple ][ and IBM PC, both of which were eye-wateringly expensive by UK standards of the time. Also, they were terminal-based things and even back then I was interested in boxes with graphics. :-) -- Liam Proven ?
