Newbie Question: How to Enable Local Logins on TSS/8

by robert.jarratt＠ntlworld.com

I have got TSS/8 running on SIMH (actually it is a ready-made image that I got for the PiDP8). I have set up SIMH to enable TTIX for a secondary line to connect another terminal, but when I try to login from another line (ie not the console) I get a message along the lines of a local login not being permitted. I have looked through the TSS/8 manuals on Manx, but I can't find anything that tells me how to enable local logins. Can anyone tell me how you do this? Thanks Rob

FTGH: COGNOS software kit

by toby＠telegraphics.com.au

Hi, I've had this box for a few years and wanted to see if it's interesting to anyone on the list. http://imgur.com/a/dm1vR Apparently everything but the software itself. :/ If there is genuine interest I can list the contents of the box. It won't be cheap to ship though. Located in Toronto, ON. --Toby

Altair, IMSAI, SWTPC, etc. for sale in Philly

by vintagecomputer＠bettercomputing.net

I got booted from the list when the original post came out for this. ?He isn't willing to ship I guess? ?I wouldn't mind buying the SWTPC 6800 case he has.. I have almost everything save a cpu card to build another 6800 unit.

The orange is rosin flux that was not cleaned.?? Isopropanol would clean that but it was built as a kit (the K suffux on the serial number tag).? Its better to leave it that way.? Authentic, never cleaned mine either. The PS looks to be the original version or the first update (higher voltage transformer). I'd expect power supply problems, suspect one-shots (front panel and CPU clock) and bus level noise issues.? Assuming the switches are still good.

Tek 4051 with a 10 year old at the helm

Very cool. ?I love how that display works. ?It's just like something from an early 80s movie. I want one badly but not $3000 badly.

Sure, we have lots of PC's around the house, but this is the first one that she is programming, and programming the 4051 creates a smile. Randy https://youtu.be/o0LiYkHG3iE

VAX Common Lisp

by john.h.blake＠gmail.com

I've been looking for it for a while as well, the only place I've seen that has it in any form is actually on the 11/780 running at the LCM (which you can of course access with a free account, if you just want to use VCL). I assume it must still exist elsewhere but it was removed >from the old software product libraries prior to any of the sets I've found archived anywhere, sometime around 90-91 I believe? There were several other CL and LISP implementations for VAX VMS but they've all fallen into the great memory hole as well. KCL in particular seems like it might be easier to find since it was freely available, but I've had no luck.

Reasonable price for a complete SOL-20 system?

I do believe that there was a Cromemco CP/M in the Don Maslim archives and another in the classicmp Dave Dunfield archives here http://www.classiccmp.org/dunfield/img54306/system.htm. If all else fails, I have found a CROMCPM.TD0 file in my archives which is Teledisk format and is 607Kb but I don't have a functional Teledisk at the moment so can't tell what it represents. I'm not sure of the source but would be happy to forward it to someone with a functional Teledisk, or Dave Dunfield's converter from TD0 to his IMD ImageDisk format. James

Imaging Old Disks Advice Needed

by barythrin＠gmail.com

Out of curiosity, since I've never done this either but have heard most folks suggest it. How do you seal the newly made jacket? Is it not necessary or folks using scotch tape??

Unknown DEC indicator panel

by jnc＠mercury.lcs.mit.edu

> I suppose I should try and round up images of 19" x 5-1/4" PDP-10 > panels, too So there are quite a few, although I'm not sure they are exactly the same as the ones used in the PDP-11's, PDP-15's, etc. Those use a plastic bezel which is the same as the blank panels in the H960 racks, into which the inlay is set >from the front, and glued down to the lip inside the bezel. The PDP-10 ones, >from the pictures, and my vague memory, use metal bezels which cover the panels from the front, holding them on, so the shape of the inlay may be subtly different. Anyway, I found images (not great - all B+W illustrations in manuals) of the following PDP-1 panels: DF10 DA10 RC10 BA10 TD10 TM10 DS10 RM10B DC10 RP10-C MB10 MD10 I'll add them to the page at some point. If any has actual images of any of these, they'd be appreciated. (And no, none of them is the mystery panel in the RSTS manual.) Noel
