Old HP-UX CD codewords

by me＠larbob.org

Hello, Is there a list of codewords for old HP-UX media anywhere? I'm messing with HP-UX 10.20 and OnlineJFS seems to be present on the first application CD but is locked behind a codeword, which I can't seem to find anywhere. I have the December '01 application disks handy but no codewords. Thanks.

WTB/WTT: Asante Mini EN/SC with PowerBook Cable for Full Size

by lists＠glitchwrks.com

All, I've got an Asante Mini EN/SC with PowerBook cable that I'd like to trade for the full-size EN/SC. Turns out you need the special cable even if you're using regular SCSI, and I don't have that one (stacking DB25 on one end, DB25M on the other). I've tested the Mini EN/SC with TangentDelta's PowerBook 180 and it works fine there, so it's definitely just a cabling issue. I'd like to trade it for a full-size EN/SC, or alternately buy an EN/SC as I may have someone interested in buying the Mini EN/SC for their PowerBook. Thanks, Jonathan

WTB/WTT: Intel MDS-800

by lists＠glitchwrks.com

All, I recently picked up an ICE-85 in-circuit emulator from Jack Rubin (thanks Ian and Connor for ferrying it back!). I thought that the stuff it came with included a Prompt-80 as a controller, but it does not: there's an unrelated Prompt-48 board in the boxes. The ICE-85 came with ISIS control software on 8" diskette. So I guess I'm in the market for an Intel MDS-800. Good luck, right? :P Thanks, Jonathan

Since you asked, sure ... why not? Started with tech professionally around 26 years ago, was always fascinated by it. Started out when DOS and Novell were all the rage. Worked for a local MSP that mostly serviced banks. Bounced here and there and was exposed to all sorts of stuff. Printers, IBM Mainframes running VSE and I think CICS (it was a long time ago), wireless, networks, and whole host of things in between. Gained a lot of VMS experience (other than just being a user) by working for a local financial institution. Had a rather good relationship with the data processor and that's how I ended up getting my first Alphaserver and VAX. Went back to the MSP life for awhile, owners retired, new company that bought them, no way else to put it - sucked. Worked for a local manufacturing company for the past 5 years, thought I'd retire from there, but due to a bad combination of their (lack of) response to covid and continually resisting getting off a 15 year old (5 years out of support) ERP system, it was time to go. Time is worth more than money. Work part time now for a local non-profit as the tech guy. I have more time on my hands now for home tech projects. Some days I work from home, which is nice. I've got an iSeries, an Apple //e, and a Commodore 64 that are all begging to be worked on and resurrected. ... and other stuff too. Ooops. This is probably not as short as you wanted. Fred

Anyone need a Pro/350 motherboard?

by cz＠alembic.crystel.com

Cleaning out my parents' house I found a Pro/350 motherboard spare new in box. I'd use it here, except for the fact that: It's a spares so it doesn't have chips. Not a biggie as I have plenty of 11/23 CPUs but the FPU was in some sort of carrier so I don't have that. It doesn't have the boot ROMs Most important, the Pro/350 didn't have video on board. I don't have the video cards for a 350, so I can't just swap it into one of my 380's and expect anything to work other than the serial port. Let me know. C

Still sounds pretty grumpy, though... Nah, not grumpy. Just cheap and/or frugal. ;) I also do not claim to the be the other (Grumpy) Fred.
