I think this is probably a long shot, but does anyone have patches for
HP-UX 11.11 for PA-RISC? I can't exactly buy an HP support contract just to
download patches, which is apparently my only other option since google
doesn't turn up anything.
I'm specifically looking to get PHSS_24304 installed because that fixes a
linker issue that prevents building anything with GNU G++. I think I might
be able to get around the issue if I use GNU ld, but that has it's own
issues as I understand it.
I'm new to HP-UX, so if you need more info just ask.

But wouldn't a nice tape be a much more appropriate distribution
medium? I've got an LTO-3 drive here, and that's 400GB/tape. It'd only
take one tape to hold bitsavers. :)
Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone knew of a repository that had SWTPC tape files
archived (as .WAV, .TAP, etc). The 6800 system I am presently using is
wired according to original SWTPC specs and does not have a DB25.. so I
cannot simply switch cables from CT1024 to PC terminal like I could with my
other unit. I'd really like to make use of the AC30 also for a more
authentic experience and was hoping someone had wavs archived somewhere so I
could play them into the AC30 with my phone or something and then record to
actual tape. For the last couple of evenings I have been manually entering
in the data for TSC BASIC from a txt file Bill Degnan was kind enough to
post.. just doing as much as I can stand to and then saving progress to
tape. Eventually when it's finished I'll make a wav archive and just use
tape to load it. Obviously I wouldn't want to do that for every program
though. Anyway, I know someone on vcfed at one point was talking of setting
up an archive and even had made copies of Tic Tac Toe and 680 BASIC. Hoping
someone out there knows where those and/or more might be found, or if
there's another way (say using two MP-C/S cards) to pull in S19 files and
then record via AC-30 to tape.
Thanks muchly!

Lol that quote. I guess i can google it but was this from one of his books? "Never?underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway."?Andrew Tanenbaum, 1981

Unfortunately, their 2040 number is based on an assumption that bandwidth
will continue to increase, but that media capacity won't.
I've seen suggestion that TU-58s are emulated in simh on
PDP-11s. However, I'm not seeing it in a show dev and my
google-fu is failing me to find any info on how to use it. Any
pointers on how to boot from a TU-58 image?
TIA,

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages - I present to
you LambdaDelta, my decidedly average LMI Lambda emulator.
See https://github.com/dseagrav/ld for the source repository and release
tarball. So far we have been able to run full-speed on a 2.3 GHz i7 and a
2.5 GHz i5, but the i5 was pushing it. The i7 gets a bit warm.
Bitsavers now has the LMI software, so there's no reason to hold off on a
release other than I would have liked to get fetch working properly at
least. I'm going to keep working at it in the meantime.
If you live in the DFW area, and have a truck and a strong back, there are
some VERY interesting items.
A DEC cabinet taller than I am, with a front panel of switches. I asked him
if the panel was rust or orange, but he said he thought it was dark, like
brown. The cabinet was backwards, and there was too much stuff in the way to
turn it around.
3 Sun cabinets full of stuff, and a SparcStation 20.
Several (at least 4) IBM server cabinets. Not the blue 6 foot kind; these
are abt waist high.
A cabinet about waist high the said Computer Control (I think) with switches
and LEDs. Too heavy to move into the light to take pics.
A complete Data Products B300 line printer.
If you are interested in these, send me an email, and I will give you the
contact info.
The warehouse is very dirty, and the aisles are very small. A large person
will not fit.

Hi,
I'm going to Kfest for the first time this year, cannot wait!!!
Anyway: if you decide to visit here, then give me a few weeks' notice so
you can visit the VCF museum in New Jersey. We are in a small town about
60 minutes south of NYC and 90 minutes northeast of Philadelphia.

Most of you have heard of the Large Scale Systems Museum, a public
museum in the Pittsburgh area that is focused on minicomputers,
mainframes, and supercomputers. LSSM has been closed for renovations
and expansion for the past several months; we've added nearly a
thousand square feet of new exhibit space and many new exhibits.
On May 6th, there will be a large block party (actually, several
blocks) here in town, called "New Kensington Better Block", with
street vendors and other standard block party fare. LSSM will be
participating in that event with our post-renovation reopening; we
will be open to the public all day with docents on duty. Many of our
systems will be running and demonstrated throughout the day.
In even bigger news, LSSM is pleased to announce the opening of a
brand new wing, the Large Scale Integration Museum, or LSIM. As the
name suggests, the LSIM wing is dedicated to computer systems based on
Large Scale Integration CPUs, from the earliest four-bit 4004
processors through the desktop computer revolution of the 1970s and
1980s. Thanks to a partnership with Pennsylvania-based nonprofit
organization Tristate Technology Museum Consortium, and a generous
donation from the private collection of Corey Little and C/PMuseum,
LSIM will add more than one hundred new exhibits in four thousand
square feet of newly-renovated space located in the same building as
the recently-expanded Large Scale Systems Museum.
Everyone is welcome. LSSM is located at 924 4th Avenue, New
Kensington, PA 15068. For more information, directions, or hotel
recommendations, contact the LSSM via email at info at lssmuseum.org or
on Facebook (search for "Large Scale Systems Museum"). You can also
see some photos of our facilities on the Facebook page.
Please feel free to forward this message to anyone whom you think
might be interested.
Thanks,
-Dave McGuire
President/Curator, LSSM

Thanks much. I was using v3.9 which is why I couldn't find
it. Not everything is working yet, but at least it's loading
and running the boot block.
