On the other hand, the fight against the X86 architecture might be done
with the help of arm forces...

Hi,
I started to revive an old Micro PDP11/83 I have for over 12 years
now. It is fully assembled and last time I tried to start the
machine it some kind of started.
My biggest issue at the moment is the power supply.
After the machine is running for a while, let's say 10 minutes and
then when I poweroff, the power supply starts producing a lot of
dense smoke. The smell is very penetrant.
What can I do with the power supply? Do I need to exchange it
completely or just parts of it?
At the moment I removed it from the case like described here:

Thanks in advance for any starting hints,
Waldemar

So I notice that M8120 controller card for the MS11 seems to share its etch
with the earlier M8110 variant (the M8120 says "M8110" in the etch :-); so the
differences must be component/configuration/ECO. Does anyone happen to know
what the differences between the two are? Thanks!

??????????????? I did a rescue of some vintage HP equipment for VCFE and the donor had the following vintage test and other equipment left over in his storage unit (from his father, who had recently passed, an engineer for North American Bosch). It goes to the dumpster at the end of May. Location is Long Island (Farmingdale). If anyone is interested, please contact me off-list.
Thanks.

All,
Per the recent discussion on thicknet/early Ethernet, I figured I'd see if
there's any interest in cut-to-length Belden thicknet/10base5 Ethernet
cable. I've got a local surplus guy who's got at least one 1100 foot roll.
It's the real Ethernet spec stuff, sez so on the cable, and it has the
bands to locate your vampire taps.
If there's enough interest, I'll buy the spool off of him and cut it to
length for whoever's interested in buying some. I can crimp N terminations
on as well.
Thanks,
Jonathan
I ran across the following messages in comp.os.os2.marketplace
(referenced from comp.os.os2.programmer.misc) and remembered that there
were a few people talking about IBM's Personal Communications Manger
here, particularly in the context of the P/390. So I figured that I'd
cross post the info. The asking price (free + S&H) seems reasonable.)
