Problem is I also have a master & slave ide hard drive on the other cable.. I will try changing the cableing, did not know this was a problem, the book does not tell of this potential problem of sharing two cdrom drives on the same ide cable.. Phil...

TI99: WP and PC

I've got some bits of a Nixdorf something or other. Basically it's the backplane, minus the rack and mountings, plus the power supply, some drives, and cables and a couple of boxes full of modules. Chip dates are around 74. Anyone know anything about Nixdorfs of this era? Cheers Geoff Roberts Computer Room Internet Cafe Port Pirie South Australia. netcafe(a)pirie.mtx.net.au

RT-11 and TCP/IP

by healyzh＠aracnet.com

OK, I'm back to trying to get Alan Baldwin's TCP/IP package running on RT-11. I've gone over the install procedure and am sure I'm doing it right. Tonite I was trying for both TSX+ and the RT-11 XM monitor using the EQ driver, and also the NQ driver that came with RT-11 for the XM monitor. I know the ethernet board is good as I'm able to use it under RSX-11M for DECnet. Howver, I'm getting the following error when I try to use FTP to connect to one of my other systems on my network. .ftpsb 192.168.1.41 FTPSB-11 V02.24 1-Nov-1998 Board initialization failed!. Error code=11 netinit() failed . Can anyone translate this and tell me what I'm doing? Has anyone here managed to successfully install the software? The other problem is that while the instructions say that the EQ drivers included will work on a system running the SJ or FB monitors, I can't get the driver to load. Yes, I realize it's not normal for the SJ/FB monitors to be able to use a EQ driver. Zane | Zane H.

Indiana Jones and the... (was list (was: Daily Laugh!))

by mbg＠world.std.com

I hope you're kidding about the Altair serial number 1... I would rather hope that he would be investigated for 1) stealing it in the first place, or 2) accepting stolen property... Megan

1130 has been claimed

by Anthony.Eros＠digital.com

This looks like a great candidate for a well-documented restoration -- I'll be taking a ton of photographs and will welcome any and all suggestions and pointers to parts, etc. Thanks! -- Tony ---------- From: Christian Fandt[SMTP:cfandt@netsync.net] Reply To: classiccmp(a)u.washington.edu Sent: Monday, February 01, 1999 5:50 PM To: Discussion re-collecting of classic computers Subject: Re: 1130 has been claimed Very good! Now Tony, you have the responsibility to completely photograph this machine and try to find a correct keyboard and PSU. Some of us will appreciate seeing the photos and comments to learn (or relive!) this interesting machine. I know I'll keep an eye cocked for the parts to help get this machine restored. And to think this machine was only about 3 or 4 hours drive from here! Good luck with it :) Regards, Chris Upon the date 05:35 PM 2/1/99 -0500, Brad Ackerman said something like: >Tony Eros was the first to respond (by 90 minutes), and so claims the >computer.

Need help on old Tandy stuff -- Allison? Anyone else?

by nerdware＠laidbak.com

Hi, group. I'm going to be putting up my annual exhibit at the local library and I need some help with my facts so I don't screw anything up. I have two display cases to work with. One will be tracing the development of the portable pc, and will include the usual Compaq Sewing Machine, a Compaq III, and a Compaq LTE286; a Kaypro II, an Osborne, a Mac Portable (non- backlit), IBM Convertible, and a Tandy M200 and Pocket Computer. (I'm really trying to get an M100, but all the reporters I know who still use them would rather have their fingers removed first before they'd give 'em up.......) Can anyone give me the original release dates and some tech specs on the 200 and the Pocket? The 200 has the parallel printer card, the external floppy drive, all the books, and several floppies with stuff on them. The Pocket is the original model, and has software, all the docs, the original boxes, the original carrying case, RS-232 interface and the neat little color plotter/printer. Any info, anecdotes, whatever would be greatly appreciated and acknowledged in the display. Thanks.
