Newsgroups Server: freetext.usenetserver.com

by jhfinedp3k＠compsys.to

Does anyone use the following server for newsgroups? freetext.usenetserver.com [208.49.83.84] I am able to ping and get a response, but for the last 2 days, when I try to download posts from my favourite pdp-11 newsgroups, I get no reply. Can anyone help? Sincerely yours, Jerome Fine

Disk Translation software (was Re: Looking for AT&T 3B1/UNIXPC/PC7300 software)

As I remember Media Master, it would let you set up a drive as the foreign type, to read/write/format a disk (except you could not format a Kaypro and one other type using MM). Bob

Q on 3.5" Sony floppy drive

by rescue＠hawkmountain.net

I have MP-F17W-50L I've tried to use this on a PC (long time ago), and it wouldn't work. It came out of Codex equipment... Unsure if there is just some magic jumpers required, or this was custom made for Codex. So, anyone know anything about that model drive ? -- Curt

It's a lot bigger, noiser and heavier then I was expecting. I was thinking it was just a tower machine. I didn't realise the depth of it. Any idea how well these run with Solaris 10, do you know if it would run any quicker with 8 or 9. Dan > | Zane H.

Symbolics Genera

by alexandre.laguejacques＠gmail.com

Thanks to those who responded publicly and privately to my request for information. It appears that OpenGenera, the port of Genera to the Alpha running Tru64, is the quickest way to gain exposure to the operating system. (Which is why you'll notice my previous messages concerning one of my misbehaving Alphas. The other is running OpenVMS 8.3 -- no touch!) Will try to get my hands on a copy. The hardware -- i.e. a real Symbolics computer or alternatively an Alpha or a Mac with the necessary hard or software -- can be had from the source (David Schimdt) but it's not cheap and he's based in Virginia. Which is not to say that it's not an interesting offer -- I just need to try the OS first! - Alex

INS2651 uses

by dgriffi＠cs.csubak.edu

I have a sparsely-populated S100 board carrying an INS2651 chip and a 50-pin header. There's little other clue as to the function of this board. I'm guessing it's a floppy drive interface of some sort, but the maker and model have me guessing. I've never heard of "Alloy Eng. C.P.D.". What appears to be a model number is "DWG NO. 100055 REV. H". Does anyone know anything helpful about this? -- David Griffith dgriffi at cs.csubak.edu A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing in e-mail?

Line printer available

by djg＠pdp8.net

A digital line printer LG05 Plus is available for pickup in Gaithersburg MD. Comes with spare ribbons and a box of paper. This is a high speed dot matrix line printer for the standard wide pinfeed paper. 500 LPM. 29"x27"x41". Its a little too new for my pdp-8 collection, deafening drum or chain is more appropriate. http://www.sinca.biz/compaq-line-printer-speed-500-lpm-lg05-plus-lg05plus-p… .html May have windows drivers for people without vaxes. http://www.tallygenicom.com/support/line/LG-drv.htm Reply to me, not list.
