Parsys Ltd T9000 SuperCluster documentation & software

by rmeenaks＠olf.com

Hi, I got this request from another transputer user. Apparently he has a T9000 SuperCluster with no documentation & software. Parsys Ltd is no longer in business, so does anyone have the so mentioned software and documentation. Thanks. Ram PS: He also has a network interface card that is called IMSB013 and the transputer motherboard that looks like a TMB12 from Transtech. He also has all the power supplies and the case.

The license PAK's you get issued expires after one year.

Hans Franke?

by cfandt＠netsync.net

Upon the date 03:21 AM 2/24/99 -0800, Sellam Ismail said something like: > >Did Hans Franke die or something? I haven't heard even a peep from that >loquacious Bavarian in a while. Yeah, it has been a bit quiet around here :) I wonder if he's away from home on business. He works for Siemens Business Services (www.sbs.de) in Munich and I think I recall that he manages software development projects. SBS is a rather large systems integrator, consultant and outsourcing provider, so he could be anywhere on a job. Christine works there too in the Human Resources dept. > >Maybe John Zabolitzky has heard from him in the past few weeks? > >Christian, do you have his telephone number by any chance? No, I haven't yet got his number although Beverly and I plan to _someday_ get back over there (depending on my job schedule whenever I find a new job) and should get it anyway. I find there are seven phone listings for Hans Franke in M?nchen and I don't know his exact address either. John Z. could dig deeper over there I'm sure. He'll reappear sometime I'm sure. I think this group is a bunch he can't stay away from now :) Regards, Chris -- -- Christian Fandt, Electronic/Electrical Historian Jamestown, NY USA cfandt(a)netsync.net Member of Antique Wireless Association URL: http://www.ggw.org/awa

Thoughts on Taking Inventory

by healyzh＠aracnet.com

I'm curious, has anyone ever sat down and figured out how best to define a database that would hold info on all thier Classic Computer documentation. You know stuff like DEC Fiche, DEC Handbooks, manuals, catalogues, brouchures, etc.? Does anyone have any thoughts on what info should be captured? For example, a randomly selected piece of Fiche yields the following info: Colour: Brown Bar Title: Mini Index 83-05 ???: Hardware Documentation Library Index, Updateing and User Information Part Number?: EP-0MINI-IX-05 Copyright: 1983 Fiche 1 of 1 Produced By: Digital I can see needing a field that is something like machine type that would be; PDP-11, PDP-8, VAX, Terminal, Printer, Tape Drive, Disk Drive, etc. Properly defined this database could be used for more than just DEC Doc's, which is my primary concern at the moment.

OT: 30-pin SIMMS

by allisonp＠world.std.com

<Does anyone here have any 30-pin SIMMs as often found in i386 computers <that are more than 1 megabyte? I have 1-mb SIMMs but I've never seen <bigger ones You can still buy 30pin simms (256k, 1mb, 4mb) from JDR. the 4mb parts are scarce and finding them for less than 10$ is hard. The 1mb parts are like flies and they can be had for nearly nothing. Allison

This makes sense seeing as how the MVII in question has > SCSI Hard Drives. Both of my ExaByte 8200's have black faceplates. However, the LEDs are side-by-side about 1.25" from the left side of the drive, and the button is on the right. When the drive is powered up, what do the LEDs do? If you press the button, does the front open to allow you to insert a tape, like a miniature VHS machine? Or does it just have an open slot to slide a cartridge into? -- Pete Peter Turnbull Dept. of Computer Science University of York

Novice prospectors guide

<Which simply means, carry a screwdriver with you at all times :) In fact, <PC clones sometimes have interesting software on them. I once saw a Compaq <Portable that had a network card and had apparently been used in some sort <of DEC network. Yes, DEC sold cards and networking software to work with the VAX (DECNET) systems. The software started as PCSA, later known as PATHWORKS and TEAMLINKS. Since I have and use vaxen the software would be a find. The net cards are standard eithernet. Allison
