I've scanned in a pocket QRG for a language called "HP Atlas." It appears to be a 1970s-era language for 21MX-class machines. I can't find much out there about it beyond some HP press materials: http://chiclassiccomp.org/docs/index.php?dir=%2Fcomputing/HP or the direct link: http://chiclassiccomp.org/docs/content/computing/HP/92100-93007_HP-AtlasQRG… Most errors in the scan are, unfortunately, in the original (double-strikes, comb holes punched over text, etc) -j

3.5" floppy failure mode? Hub not attched to media.

Well, there's always polyurethane glue (e.g. Gorilla glue), but it wouldn't be my first choice. How about clear nail polish? I've got some 3.5" "trash can disks". I man give it a try to see if it can work. Are you confronted with a particular brand? --Chuck

3.5" floppy failure mode? Hub not attched to media.

I've never had luck reattaching the media to the hub when it becomes detached. (I've used a dab of thin but sticky glue.) I chalked it up to not being able to get the alignment perfect, but it could just be coincidence that my media had failed at the same time.

DEC papertape 5x5 font ?

by tsw-cc＠johana.com

I have a C program that generates the nice 5x7 font (actually using the 8th row as a descender on lower case) suitable for punching in paper tape.? I've used it on my Facit 4070 paper tape punch with good results. The 4070 is attached with a simple adapter to a standard printer port. If desired, I can supply details.

Seeking the Apollo PSK8 support tape image (for Domain/OS SR10.3 on 425 and 433 workstations)

by ian.finder＠gmail.com

A friend and I are trying to set up Domain/OS 10.3 on a 425 system. 10.3 appears to be the last release that will run on both the 425 system and the DN300 we are trying to netboot. In order to boot the Domain/OS 10.3 stock tapes on the 68040 based 425, we will need the PSK8 kit. Does anyone have images or tapes of: -- Ian Finder (206) 395-MIPS ian.finder at gmail.com

Slashdot has fallen strangely silent on this story after building it up in the last few weeks and months, and most of last year. Curious, but not the first time that's happened. jbdigriz

Fine, Jason. Just trying to observe protocols learned through previous list trauma. :-) No offense intended. Ignore my post to the list anyway. I see there was in fact a /. story on the vote published. My browser was stuck on the "idle" site somehow, earlier. My bad.
