HP 3000/37 console

by mloewen＠cpumagic.scol.pa.us

Does anyone know if a non-HP terminal will work as the console for a HP 3000 Series 37? The power-on self-test uses ENQ/ACK to speed sense, but the manual also implies that it will sense speed from a <CR>. On my 37, the TIC self-test passes up to the point where it talks to the terminal, but fails to to speed sense.

Old core memory system.

by mattislind＠gmail.com

Can anyone tell what kind of computer this might have been connected to? https://i.imgur.com/IC3AVCf.jpg I googled MS8192X26-1.9-RT and found one hit: http://www.nsn-now.com/Indexing/ViewDetail.aspx?QString=7025013480747 And then FABRI-TECH (maybe miss-spelled) gave a nice broschure: https://archive.org/details/TNM_Fabri-Tek_Inc_-_Brochure_20170629_0325 The core memory system boxes indeed look similar. But still no clue what kind of system this has been connected to. What kind of system made use of 26 bits? Maybe 24 bits + check bits? It could be flight control related since it is aviation museum that currently have it. But the person I have contact with don't know the actual source. Possibly flight simulation since the same guys do have several old flight simulators.

HP 3000/37 console

by kevenm＠reeltapetransfer.com

(Retrying post with different email) Another quick thought, Putty ( https://www.putty.org/ ) has serial mode, and an AnswerBack for ENQ (Control-E). You could try using that, although HPterm escape sequences will not work.

HP 3000/37 console

by kevenm＠reeltapetransfer.com

(Retrying post, with different email.) As Ed mentioned, I believe the CISC machines will need the ENQ/ACK. I thought that speed-sense was only on the CR. But the ENQ/ACK will happen every 80 chars sent. I think you can wait on it because it will timeout, and continue. Or when output pauses, you could type Control-F, as I recall. If you cannot get your hands on Reflection ( https://www.microfocus.com/products/reflection/ ) (took me a moment to find it, now that microfocus controls it) or Minisoft Win92/Secure92 (www.minisoft.com), or an hp terminal, you could try QC-Term. http://www.3kranger.com/Atmar/AICS_qcterm.shtm Keven Miller > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Mike Loewen via cctalk" <cctalk at classiccmp.org> > To: <cctalk at classiccmp.org> > Sent: Mon 07 May 2018 09:36 PM > Subject: HP 3000/37 console > > >> >> Does anyone know if a non-HP terminal will work as the console for a >> HP 3000 Series 37?

Catches and stubs from a Thinkpad optical drive

by dave＠661.org

I have a T420 which came with a DVD/CD burner. I later replaced this with a Bluray drive. To make the swap, I had to remove the side catch and rear stub from the drive. I'd like to swap back to the DVD drive just in case so as to avoid any needless wear on the blueray drive's mechanism. To do this, I'd like to get another catch and stub. The problem though, I don't know what these things are actually called, nor do I know of any sort of part number to look for. Does anyone here know anything useful on tracking down these things? -- David Griffith dave at 661.org A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.

'90s era PC recommendation.

by cctalk＠gtaylor.tnetconsulting.net

Hi, Does anyone have any recommendations for a '90s era PC that has PCI and ISA slots? Ideally I'd like to have EISA slots too. ? At least I think that's what I want. I'm developing an itch to play with older networking equipment, Token Ring, FDDI, etc. and I suspect that a machine running '98 / NT 4, or a Unix / Linux from the late '90s would be a good candidate to mess with things. Obviously I'll need two devices to communicate. I may end up looking for an older Cisco router that supports the various interface types. Years ago I had a Compaq desktop that had PCI and EISA slots. I'm trying to re-acquire it from the friend that it went to. Does anyone have any Pro Tips on things to look for or avoid? ? One of the worries that I have about the aforementioned Compaq is that it used proprietary components (the keyboard connector looked like a PowerBook SCSI connector) that would be hard to replace if (read: when) a problem develops. I would greatly appreciate any tips / tricks / things to avoid. Thank you in advance. -- Grant. . . . unix || die

TRS-80s available: Ottawa, ON, Canada

by mouse＠Rodents-Montreal.ORG

A friend and colleage of mine says he has two TRS-80s available, or perhaps very soon to be available, in Ottawa (the capital of Canada). He says he knows very little about them; apparently it's been something like a decade since they were even taken out of the boxes. For further information, I'd suggest contacting him directly - I haven't even so much as seen the boxes they're in. lucasb at gmail.com is the address he gave me to pass along. Mouse

'90s era PC recommendation.

by jnc＠mercury.lcs.mit.edu

> From: Grant Taylor > Does anyone have any recommendations for a '90s era PC that has PCI and > ISA slots? I have a bunch of HP machines, which are still in heavy use (although upgraded to Celerons with the PowerLeap iP3/T thingys). Vectra VL6/S8's and VLi8s. I'm very fond of them - solidly built, well engineered, quite reliable, etc. The VL5/S4-5 and VL6/S6-7, etc are also OK (very similar, same build quality), but I prefer the /S8's as they have the 100MHz memory bus.
