Maximizing value selling a working 11/34

by jnc＠mercury.lcs.mit.edu

> bah! sacrilege! So you've got someone working for you, been working for you for years, and you think it's more important to not commit the sacrilege of splitting up an H960 and its feet, rather than to have to tell them they're fired, that they have to go home and tell their spouse and kids that their parent doesn't have a job any more? Excuse me if I don't agree. Noel

Maximizing value selling a working 11/34

I seriously doubt the splitting of the H960 from its feet or not will influence the outcome of a job position. In a message dated 12/8/2015 12:24:16 P.M.

> From: Johnny Billquist > (Or maybe I'm just naive in thinking that people who request assistance > to maximize their profits targeting the same crowd they ask for > assistance from (for free) is abusive.) _I_ am not selling the item in question; I merely happen to know the seller, and am doing them a favour (since I happen to sympathize with people whose jobs are about to disappear). I expect they will use eBay to actually sell the item; I am fairly certain that it _will not_ be offered through this list. So I think your statement above contains at least two mistaken assumptions.

New release of FreePascal

by linimon＠lonesome.com

So I just saw this commit go by on the FreeBSD ports mailing list. Since some people were talking about Pascal a month or two ago, I thought it might be of interest to them. I'm sure commits to various Linux systems will be done as well. fwiw, I removed the 1460+ lines of diff :-) mcl ----- Forwarded message from John Marino <marino at FreeBSD.org> ----- Date: Sat, 5 Dec 2015 23:29:37 +0000 (UTC) From: John Marino <marino at FreeBSD.org> To: ports-committers at freebsd.org, svn-ports-all at freebsd.org, svn-ports-head at freebsd.org Subject: svn commit: r403082 - in head: .

There are a ton of new features, way more to list here. see: http://wiki.freepascal.org/FPC_New_Features_3.0 Several new unit ports were added, some were contracted. Most of those were absorbed into the main FPC packages, but two units are no longer supported: sndfile and matroshka. All 99 remaining ports (including Lazarus ports) were build tested on FreeBSD i386 and amd64 Release 10.2 ----- End forwarded message -----

Looking for AS/400

by fink＠stenoweb.net

Hi there, Recently, I've been reading up into AS/400s.. They seem like really neat machines, and look really sharp with those matching block terminals. I remember retail stores using those, and I always wondered what kind of a system they were running on... I figured it was DOS! I've been having trouble locating one, however. Anybody have one lying around, or know of where to find one in the Toronto area? It needn't be a high spec machine, just something to play with OS/400 and a terminal. Thanks! -brian

Evotek Winchester Harddisk

by lehmann＠ans-netz.de

Hi, has anyone ever heard of Evotek ET-5800 series Winchester harddisks? I wonder which interface they have. I'm looking for a replacement of a CDC FINCH 9410 and wonder if they would be a possible replacement.

Pair of PDP-11/04's available

by jnc＠mercury.lcs.mit.edu

So I've been informed that a pair of PDP-11/04's are available, Chicago US area. The price isn't set - someone else has offered the owner ~$400, which seems a bit low to me (although I don't know what peripherals/memory are included, if any). One is in a 5" box, and one in an 11"; both apparently include the basic "Operator's Console" (i.e. halt and reset toggles). Contact Patrick Lynn at 815-838-0134 if interested. Noel

The PDP-12 donor to the RICM needs an appraisal for the charitable donation. I already suggested Vintage Tech. Any other suggestions? -- Michael Thompson
