First they use the lame ploy of trying to trick you into thinking you
requested the information at some previous time (has this ever worked on
anyone!?) and then acknowledge that it is in fact unsolicited spam by
apologizing for the intrusion.
The really lame part is that this message was almost 20K! That is an
abuse of bandwidth that really should be punishable by death.

I have PDP-11/23's with lots of spares. The system was used as a multi-
tasking host for 2 slave LSI computers. It is currently configured
running RT-11FB but will run TSX. Host has 256k 200nS RAM, AED disk
controller with Seagate ST-251 formatted as 4 RL02 drives, 1 RX02 8"
floppy. The networking connection was done using Star-11 cards.
It was running at the time the plug was pulled so this is a working
system. It was being used to test Photovoltaic devices (solar cells).
The slaves were being used as test controllers and the host was for
booting the slaves and storing test results. The slaves include Data
Translation data acquisition cards and ADAC high current digital I/O
cards. All of this is based on Q-bus. E-mail if interested, because it
will soon go to the dumpster.

Is this off topic? How old is CGI? As old as Netscape 1.x?
Anyway, does anyone know it? Where can I get good database scripts (for
users, etc.)
Thanks, and sorry for my waste of all-presious bandwith,

You don't understand. I take what I can get. It's not like there is
a library that lets me pick the OS/2 version that I want. But what
bugs are in 2.0?

Yes the manual says that for the RA81 as well. It also says that it weighs
148 lbs!

Done that after fetching the drive from the car in a wheelbarrow ;-). The
trick is to extend the rails (after extending the stabilising foot first)
and then lift from below so that your arms don't get tangled with the
rails. Once the drive is sitting on the rails squarely it is _fairly_
stable and can be juggled about to line up the screw holes.
As a point of interest the book says that the drive takes 18 amps for the
first four seconds whilst it is spinning up.
