Could someone tell me what the configuration of individual gates
is (one of them, at least) for binary addition (or provide an EASY
TO FIND reference)?

No connection to this person whatsoever. Thought this might be of

Up there maybe... down here in NJ they're rare. Sun boxes are
around (Sparc), I even saw DECstations, RS6000's but no good looking
Vaxes or 11's. I think the area scrapped most of 'em 4 years ago.
At this weekend's Trenton Fair (which used to have
8's, 11's and Vaxes -- nothing below a Microvax chassis...).
And this was a big DEC area until the late 80's. I worked it for years.

I turned down an 11/34 with RL02 for $25.00 four years ago because the
OS's weren't easy to come by and the boxes were larger than I could
transport in my compact car (at the time I didn't have my good old
DECwagon available).
Ah @!#$%^&. I could sure use it now.
This seemed to be the year of the $10 MacII at the show. I picked
up some Mac stuff for fun... but I'd love to populate my VT103 out.

I made a small neural net, non-learning, in Visual Basic (hey! it's
easy!), available at alt.ne.mediaone.net/zeus334/neural.zip.
Also, there was just a short segment on TLC on truck collecting.
Very interesting. Maybe I'll collect old trucks AND old computers!
This was talking about a new englander who collected big trucks.
His favorite was a chain drive 1932 german truck...

This is the case for the april early birds from what I saw last year.
As the season progresses (MIT is every month) the mix changes.
< He also had an 11/23 he wanted to sell for $100 and _wouldn't_

If it were an 11/20 or 11/05 it's collectable.
Numb is correct. 11/23s are common as house flies and though they are very
classic and somewhat desireable for pdp-11 hackers he's out of his mind.
Last year there was someone there doing same and I ended up taking it home
for free as he couldn't bring it back. Now consider this he was offering
an 11/23 complete with RX02 and 2meg memory, plenty of serial IO and TWO
complete copies of RT-11v5, two sets of diagnostics disks and two RT11
doc sets.
If he parted it out and sold it to one of the used DEC resellers he might
get 100$ for the peices total.
<PS - I would have paid up to ~$20 for the 11/23, but $100?????
thats about right IF it's at least a complete CPU/mem/io/disk! With some
software and known operating $50 may not be out of line. more than that
it better be pristine, FULL COMPLETE DOCS and actually running.

If the modem is the thing w/ 5 pin DIN socket, I have one.

When it comes to the asynch / synch interfacing I'm out of my depth. It's
something I've been going to study up on tho. I've had an old Phillips Micom
WP for some time which apparently was capable of communication protcols
interfacing and I've wanted to retrieve some data on it , altho now I might be
able to pull it off the 8'' disks with the TRS mod ll . Another project in
waiting : ^ )).
In exploring the programs on the 5150's Hard-card I found two small programs
>from the same company (PLUS) that made the hardcard. One was light.com and the
other sound.com parameters were light= on/ off , and sound = on / off . Since
the h-c itself had no external connectors, I'm wondering whether these are for
the cassette port. This 5150 was also configured for 2 serial and 2 parallel
which would square with the serial / para on the int.modem and the printer port
on the Herc. leaving one serial unaccounted for. The only other connector is
the f 37 pin ext. on the fdd controller card. ( for an external drive ? ) QUE's
Upgrading and Repairing P.C.'s v.5 (BTW an excellent book with the most
extensive info on PS2 s I've seen -V.5 only) doesn't mention this port tho it
has a lot of detail on the 5150 and adapter cards.

This is bizarre...
This RSX was origionally in an 11/73. I had it in an 11/83.
BOO was running REAL slow. I interrupted it after a 5-hour run.
I swapped the KDJ11-B with an 11-A, reloaded, and now BOO
is running at a faster pace, it hits the drive every 10 seconds.
I just now started it.
Maybe there's a bug in RSX, or my 83 is acting bizarre?

I think that means you're trying to do something to a disk that is mounted when
it shouldn't be, or you've not given the right switch, or given one that's
inappropriate. If I'm right, I think you want to be copying from a mounted
running DUx: to an unmounted but loaded DL0:, which BRU will want to
re-initialise. If so, the command is something like BRU DU0:/MOU DL0:/INI, or
safer would be to run BRU and enter the disk names and switches at the prompts.
Sorry about all the "if"s but I did warn you I'm not an RSX expert :-)
