Ditto although my timing was odd and I may have gotten the notice prior to replying. ?I emailed Jay off list but understandably he should be having some family time during this holiday break and not having to worry about us right now :-) Hopefully there's a log or something noting what the mail service did or what bounced if anything. -------- Original message --------From: Adrian Stoness <tdk.knight at gmail.com> Weird I got one of these notices today when I replayed to a thread

Fan deal?

by cclist＠sydex.com

Dunno if this will appeal to any of the readership, but Electronics Goldmine is offering a box of 30 new Papst 80 mm 24 volt fans for $10. http://www.goldmine-elec-products.com/prodinfo.asp?number=G21651A I like Papst as a good brand. I just have no use of 30 24 volt fans. --Chuck

Happy turkey day to the list

by barythrin＠gmail.com

Should we do some sort of tradition of what vintage computing item we're thankful for? If ?that's too much of a repeat it could be a vintage project this year that you're thankful for. I know we're all thankful for Jay and classiccmp.org. I'm thankful for my recent successful visit to San Jose. ?I was fortunate enough to get to experience both Weird Stuff (first time) and the CHM (2nd time but previous was VCF 10). Was great to hear some other visitors at the museum bringing up memories and some chatter about teaching kids about old tech. One visitor was talking about how he had a class do a sort of human logic array so they'd hold hands if it was true or false (like the battery, thread spindle/paperclip, light bulb intro form building your own computer books). Picked up some Byte magazines from Weird Stuff as a souvenir and of course bought some shirts and a donation to support the museum. On the 8.5 hour drive back to wgere i was supposed to be I listened to some old RCR podcasts I think it was David Greelish, Bill Degnan, Earl Evans and Jason Scott) lol. Probably one of the first couple episodes. Good time and you all kept me awake on a dark Pacific Highway 1. So thankful for you all too. :-p? - John

iRMX II lives!

by aek＠bitsavers.org

Used Dave's emulator to image the hd in an Intel SYP310 and to my surprise it had an iRMX II (286) development toolchain on it. The MAME guys got it running in simulation in about 30 minutes. Anyone have any documentation or software distributions? iRMX development stuff is extremely hard to find, esp the 286 version.

curious claim questioned [was RE: Free IBM system/1(?) in eastern US.]

by RichA＠livingcomputers.org

From: jim stephens Sent: Tuesday, November 22, 2016 3:21 PM > the Ultimate system was the only Non IBM written supervisor / system > that ran on mainframes at the time. You're going to have to be more specific than that. At what time? On what mainframe(s)? Are you saying that by the time Ultimate, whatever that is when it's at home, was running, no other non-IBM OSes were running on IBM hardware, all others being dead? Or that Ultimate was earlier than, say, MTS on IBM hardware? And are you claiming that no other manufacturers' systems are mainframes? What are you saying?

Novell was Re: TRIAD

by barythrin＠gmail.com

I think it's the hardware or server company folks might have an attachment towards. I only saw novell 3.x and up but it was all standard x86 arch. Did they support other platforms? -------- Original message --------?Not many here seem to be into preserving Novell servers and such. ?? I could be mistaken. Bill

Going to put them to good use solving issues in my 11/10 and 11/40 ? BTW, my 11/35 booted from RL02. But at the moment the 11/35 has issues ? Regarding an SLU in slot 9: AFAIR, the M7800 does not use nor connect NPR, So the M7800 will go well in slot 9 regardless of BG and NPR present or not.

TRIAD (was RE: Some scrapper in NC has an old machine Labled TRIAD he is scrapping

by jwest＠classiccmp.org

The "scrapper" in NC that has the Triad contacted me directly, he had seen the discussion of the system in the classiccmp archives. He wasn't sure how to get his contact info out there, so he emailed me with his name and direct phone number. I don't want to just post it publicly (although it may already be out there somewhere, I don't know). If someone is spearheading the effort to save this machine, please contact me offlist and I'll provide the contact info. Best, J
