All the other carriers deliver to my lab at the university without a problem. UPS insists on either delivering to the school's main office - on main campus, 3/4 mile away - or not delivering at all, sometimes for days. Yeah, 3/4 mile isn't far - unless the package is a case of disk drives. Is it a Coke/Pepsi-style thing, where the carriers some how lock in their customers? I've asked vendors from whom I buy routinely to use FedEx or even USPS instead of UPS, and some say they won't/can't. I tell them I won't/can't put up with UPS' sad excuse for service, so expect less business from me. (Sometimes you just don't have a choice.) Why do you think the trucks are BROWN? <holding nose> -- Ian -- Ian S.

VAX 4000-100A motherboard, CPU and firmware

by shadoooo＠gmail.com

Hello, I have a VAX 4000-100A (54-21797-01) that gives P-cache errors. I would try to understand if the problem can be fixed somehow, or if the CPU / motherboard needs to be replaced. Anybody has NVAX CPU datasheets, including pinout to check if there's something wrong with basics like power supply, cache invalidate signals, etc? Thanks Andrea

standard 6502 syntax?

by a.phillip.garcia＠gmail.com

Was there more or less a standard or reference 6502 assembly language (e.g. >from MOS) with regard to syntax and pseudo ops? With the cpu being used in so many different computers, and so many vendors writing their own assemblers for each platform, did the assemblers tend to resemble each other (besides the instruction set), or did everyone tend to do their own thing?

Disk for HP 9825B

by hp-fix＠xs4all.nl

Opening the rom cartridge is a little tricky it's holding together through four rivets. You need to heat them before they can be removed, there is a big change you will damage the housing. But with some glue logic it should be possible to read the rom with a programmer. And I know at least three 98228A ROM's, one in Australia one in the UK(London area) and one in the Netherlands ;) -Rik -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: "Brian L.

What would be involved with imaging a module? I've never cracked on open before, or is there a way to read its contents from the 9825 itself? BLS

if it seems too good to be true...

by a.phillip.garcia＠gmail.com

I've seen paperweights that contain replicas of the first transistor to commemorate its invention. I'm guessing that's the sort of thing this is? Anyone seen one of these before and knows for sure?

Open source Nova 3 assembler

by shadoooo＠gmail.com

Hello Mark, well I suppose it would be very useful for this kind of operations. And as the whole read operation would be in the control of the PC, you could retrieve the whole disk, or a part, or a single sector.. whatever you want. The first step is to debug it and let it work with SIMH. Then I will try it with my 8" double floppy unit. At this time, adding support for any other drive would be a matter of knowing the peripheral control registers and producing a set of scripts from these informations. I will keep you informed about it. Thanks Andrea
