I'd like to round out my spreadsheet but the best lists are of PDP-8 and PDP-11 CPU, memory, and device controller boards. VAX CPU boards, memory (11/750 and 11/730 nothwithstanding because of their connection to the PDP-11/70), and CMI/MASSBUS/VAXBI/NMI, etc, aren't as thoroughly documented. Does anyone have a good pointer to such lists they'd like to share? One can read a lot of handbooks to pick out a vast number of handle numbers and option names, but it's so much easier to feed an existing list through a text filter to append to the other, excellent-in-their-own-right lists. Thanks, -ethan

Wanted: DEC VT11 with VR14/VR17

by legalize＠xmission.com

I'm looking for a DEC VT11 and a corresponding VR14 or VR17 monitor. For those who are not familiar with them, a VT11 is a vector refresh display processor for a UNIBUS PDP-11. It consists of three hex-height modules M7013, M7014 YA and A320, a custom VT11 backplane for these modules, an associated VR14 or VR17 monitor and cables from the modules to the monitor.

Cash Register Drawer Wanted...

by brain＠jbrain.com

This is not a sales pitch, I promise. My daughter is going to be selling PCB earrings at the upcoming ECCC/VCFMW show, as she did last year. This year, she's asked how much a cash register would cost, so she could look "professional" (she's 9, it's cute, I know). So, I thought: I have a tiny CBM-compatible 2.5" printer sitting here doing nothing, a C64 or VIC is easy to pull off the shelf, wiring up a small LCD is no issue, and I have cartridge stock to make an autorun cart. But, I am lacking a cash drawer. I've looked online, but I'd rather not spend $50-100 on something that has marginal utility... Thus, I'm wondering if someone on list has an old beat up drawer (with a spring and solenoid) they'd be interested in offloading inexpensively or donating...

Soft Sectoring a RK05

by shadoooo＠gmail.com

> I think perhaps that you do not understand how a PLL really operates. > In every case that I've ever worked with, the PLL center frequency is a > multiple of the reference. (That, for example, is why having a 3GHz CPU > clock on your personal computer that the reference frequency is always > much lower than that 3GHz. well, this is not completely correct... basic PLL does simple integer multiplication, but higher complexity PLLs could include dividers with variable module, or even more complex modern PLLs use a sort of "noise shaping" to achieve a frequency multiplication by N.M, where N is integer part, M is fractional part, often with a length of 16 or 24 bits... I'm not talking about post-dividers, the VCO really works at the fractional frequency. By the way, a quite simple PLL 4x with a post-divider x3 could do the job. PLL will try to keep aligned the edges of the reference signal with the edges of the regenerated signal; but not all the edges could be aligned at the same time, because the frequency ration is not integer. We have a situation like this, without a proper signal to reset the PLL counter always in the same disc position, PLL will align randomly in one of the following ways (number is a pulse, - is stable signal): original 12 sector: ---0---------------1---------------2---------------3---------------4---------------5---------------6--- case 1 16 sector (0, 3, 6, etc are aligned): ---0----------1-----------2-----------3-----------4-----------5-----------6-----------7----------8--- case 2 16 sector (1, 4, 7, etc are aligned): -------N-----------0----------1-----------2-----------3-----------4-----------5-----------6----------7--- case 3 16 sector (2, 5, 8, etc are aligned): ----------N-----------N-----------0----------1-----------2-----------3-----------4-----------5------ Of course the random choice of the pulse that will be aligned could let the regenerated sector position shift by 1/3 of 2/3 of the original 12-sector. > Slots in the hub ring. > There are actually 13 and 17, one extra midway between the 12'th and > 1'st for the index. Ah-haaa! THAT added pulse should be used to solve the phase alignment uncertain, thus starting to align always with the first sector! Beside the digital implementation using microprocessors, that would have an implicit problem of delay, cause by software latencies, I would prefer a true PLL implementation, with a VCO driven at 4N the reference signal, and a post-divider by 3N. As frequency of the pulses is quite low, a VCO working at higher frequency (always multiple of 4) could be preferable for component choice, and a bigger divider (correspondent multiple of 3) could reduce the amount of jitter and offer a faster lock time. The circuit could be simply realized using a 4046 CMOS as PLL/VCO and a couple of dividers like 4040, 4024. Andrea

Repairing a pair of IIGS monitors

by alexandre.tabajara＠gmail.com

Time for //GS monitor repair! :oD https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/64631297/1.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/64631297/2.jpg I fixed my monitor and a friend's one. But both needs replacement of flyback transformer. His can be fixed with a new focus divider, but mine was already repaired (and the guy did a very poor job). Maybe anyone here knows a source of replacement flyback transformers for this monitor. This is the Applecolor RGB monitor, A2M6014, mitsubishi-sourced. Thanks! Alexandre Souza :o) ---

Double good news Friday! Woo Hoo Times Two!

by LYNCHAJ＠YAHOO.COM

[this message went out Friday to the N8VEM-S100 list but may have some interest on CCTALK too. We are at 50% to enough S-100 80286 CPU board pre-orders for a "production" PCB order. There are a few of the S-100 6502 CPU V2 boards left but the stack is shrinking fast.] Hi Some really great news today! Yahoo! First, the S-100 6502 CPU V2 boards arrived! Yay! I will be sending them out to those who pre-ordered first thing! Second, at long last (assuming no more changes) the S-100 80286 CPU board finished trace route optimization! This board is almost old enough to vote it has been optimizing for so long. I am very happy to see it finally emerge out of the basement computer. It is ready for "production" so if you would like to get one or more of these exciting new S-100 80286 CPU boards please do the new usual pre-order. I will set aside your board so you get them right away! Yay! Good news Friday! Thanks and have a nice day! Andrew Lynch

Zetaco SCZ3-2 for Data General

by shadoooo＠gmail.com

Hello. I have a Zetaco SCZ3-2 board, probably a SCSI controller for Data General machines. This board seems to be in good shape, but unfortunately two square sockets (for microprocessor I think) are empty; anyway I could try to find a suitable replacement, if I only knew what kind of IC is needed for. I didn't find also any documentation or information about it. Anybody has such board or could supply some info? Thanks Andrea

S-100 6502 CPU V2 PCBs have arrived!

by LYNCHAJ＠YAHOO.COM

Hi The S-100 6502 CPU V2 PCBs have arrived! http://www.s100computers.com/My%20System%20Pages/6502%20Board/6502%20CPU%20B oard.htm http://n8vem-sbc.pbworks.com/w/browse/#view=ViewFolder&param=S-100%206502%20 CPU%20board%20V1 All the pre-ordered boards have been sent to their builders. There are still a few boards left in case there are any late comers or those builders who did not want to pre-order. The PCBs will be $20 each as per the usual arrangement. Shipping in the US is $3 for a single PCB and $2 for each additional PCB. Shipping internationally is $10 for a single PCB and $3 for each additional PCB.

Install Disks for AT&T 3b2/400

by anthony＠changedearth.com

So I've had a 3b2 sitting on a shelf for the past few years. Prior to that, it lived in car trucks and basements, since about November 1993. Presumably, it was never powered on. A couple weekends ago, I ran across it while cleaning and, weighing the risks, connected it to a terminal and powered it on. It booted happily, checked its disks successfully and allowed me to add an unprivileged user account. It's running System V Release 3.1 for the AT&T 3B2, Version 2. Other than the unsurprisingly dead Tadiran clock battery, it's pretty cool. It even has an ethernet board. The one thing I can't do, however, is change the root password because I don't have the install diskettes. From my research, I've seen that a 3b2 without install disks can be considered "down" for all intents and purposes. Can anyone contact me on or off list about getting originals or copies of the install disks? Thanks. Anthony

Rare opportunity for IC chips dating back to the 70s; these are NEW

by sales＠elecplus.com

One of my recyclers has provided me with an Excel spreadsheet of IC chips that date back to the 1970s. All are NEW. She is willing to sell in small quantities to end users, and will accept PayPal for payment. Prices are by offer, there is no set pricing. Please be fair, since this is an experiment to see if she will let me offer other old stuff out to the end users. Please email me at sales at elecplus.com if you want the spreadsheet.

Toshiba CD-1000C Cartridge Tape Drive

by mark.darvill＠mac.com

Has anyone come across one of these before and more importantly (to me!) has anyone any data sheets or a manual on the tape drive. The drive has a Toshiba label on it saying "Cartridge Tape Drive MTH 0551 F001 Model No. CD-1000C" and has a direct drive capstan. It looks like a 1/2" Cartridge Drive and it was used on the Data General Desktop Generation E6270 drive. I can find no mention of it on the internet so far! Thanks, Mark

PNG image decompression

by aliensrcooluk＠yahoo.co.uk

Hi, I am in the process of working on a new Amiga game, but I have the graphics saved in .PNG format. I could convert them to the much easier to decompress .IFF format, but .PNG image save many more bytes (e.g image is 15KB saved as an .IFF vs. 9KB as a .PNG). I have sucessfully decoded all the easy stuff, but am currently trying to decode the IDAT chunk (where the image data is stored). The format of the data is defined as follows (straight out of the RFC1951 Deflate Compression document available online): ??? 5 Bits: HLIT, # of Literal/Length codes - 257 (257 - 286) ??? 5 Bits: HDIST, # of Distance codes - 1 (1 - 32) ??? 4 Bits: HCLEN, # of Code Length codes - 4 (4 - 19) ??? (HCLEN + 4) x 3 bits: code lengths for the code length ??? alphabet given just above, in the order: 16, 17, 18, ??? 0, 8, 7, 9, 6, 10, 5, 11, 4, 12, 3, 13, 2, 14, 1, 15 ??? These code lengths are interpreted as 3-bit integers ??? (0-7); as above, a code length of 0 means the ??? corresponding symbol (literal/length or distance code ??? length) is not used. ??? HLIT + 257 code lengths for the literal/length alphabet, ??? encoded using the code length Huffman code ??? HDIST + 1 code lengths for the distance alphabet, ??? encoded using the code length Huffman code ??? The actual compressed data of the block, ??? encoded using the literal/length and distance Huffman ??? codes ??? The literal/length symbol 256 (end of data), ??? encoded using the literal/length Huffman code. All the documents I found online either say use the zlib library or point to the RFC1951 document :( Does anyone know how to decode the literal / length (HLIT) and distance codes (HDIST)? Huffman compression was always something I found hard, but it seemed much easier after finding this page online: http://www.cs.duke.edu/csed/poop/huff/info/ Regards, Andrew B aliensrcooluk at yahoo.co.uk

Teletype Corp. motors

by jules.richardson99＠gmail.com

I found a small pile of boxed NOS Teletype corp. motors in a junk store earlier: small, p/n 177870 (115VAC, 3250rpm at 60Hz) small w/reduction gearbox, p/n 193958 (115VAC, 110rpm at 60Hz) medium, p/n 319392 (115VAC, 1725rpm at 60Hz) medium dual-shaft, p/n 337286 (115VAC, 3600rpm at 60Hz) medium with frame, capacitor & thermal reset, "28F motor unit" (3600rpm at 60Hz) medium dual-shaft, p/n 195801 (115V, 3600rpm at 60Hz) large, p/n 159739, marked as "unit motor 28C" There are a few dates which place them around the late 1960's / early 1970's. There's a wiring diagram in with the "28F motor unit" which claims to be for "CXB-1 and MU43 motor unit". Any ideas what equipment they were for? Model 28 machine, perhaps, given the 28C and 28F references... cheers Jules

Looking for software archive for "DRAM Camera"

by ethan.dicks＠gmail.com

Hi, All, We've talked about using a 4116 or 4164 for an image sensor, as was done in the days of yore when CCD image sensors were exotic and expensive, and I've tracked down some info (beyond just the Ciarcia Circuit Celler articles in BYTE Sep/Oct 1983), but several forum posts and a Russian webpage or two point to "kuckuck.zip", which I can't find online nor via archive.org. One former location: http://www.vampyr.msk.ru/electroniks/kuckuck.zip Did anyone on this list happen to snag a copy? The oldest reference I found to it was on a robotics forum in 1997. The newest is around 2007, with a mention that other links to that file were dead even then. My best guess from browsing archive.org is that the file was there until 2008. It's not there now, and archive.org didn't keep a copy of it. I decided to go digging because I did the "decapped 4116" in an Apple II, 30 years ago (I still have that DRAM on my pads of ancient chips), and a friend of mine has recently delved into retrocomputing on the Apple II and I was telling him tales about hardware hacking the Apple. Thanks for any assistance in tracking this down, -ethan

It's has a 16MHz oscillator so it's the 68HC000P8 is running at its rated 8MHz. It seems quite stable even on the extension card. Master slave switching is functional, so I can now switch between the Z80, the 8086 and the 68k. I would have killed for a system like this in the 80's. I still think it's pretty cool today. I think I've got processor fever. Which processor board is next? I'll post some photos on the wiki soon. John, I used your S100 Computers guide which was great - thank you.

VT78 available Phoenix Arizona

by djg＠pdp8online.com

A DEC VT78 system is available in Phoenix Arizona area. Email vt78 at pdp8online.com if interested. I can make you some boot disks if you need them. Email me if you need disks. The email I received about the system: I have an old DEC VT78 system originally used in an auto parts store for inventory control, invoicing, office management (billing, accounts payable, receivables). It consists of the VT78, RX?? 8" floppy dual drive, DECPrinter I, and the cart that goes with it. The system was purchased around 1980 unless it was the second one purchased a couple of years later (probably the one from 1980). The system is currently stored such that I cannot make out which set of drives it has. I had, at one time, the original docs and system disks but did some cleaning up in the house a few years back. I am pretty sure I tossed all the manuals, data disks, blank discs. I initially thought about saving the system disks but I know I was debating it in my kind. I am currently preparing to move packing up my house so I might yet come across the system disks if I did keep them. Unfortunately, the system has not been turned on since the mid 1980s. So I am not sure if it boots currently and the system is not in a position for me to power it up currently. If there were interests, I probably could make the effort to re-arrange the stuff in the garage to try to power it on. I and the system are located in Arizona in the Phoenix area. I am looking to get it into the hands of someone who would desire it rather than junk/recycle it.

HP 700/44 - Service Manual?

by Phil＠viscom.net

Howdy all,? I have a HP 700/44 terminal that I'm trying to nurse back to operation. I've managed to get the voltages on the board back into something resembling sane values (within 10% at worst) and I do now have a raster and it beeps on power-up but I have nothing on screen. I'm working without a schematic for now and it's kinda rough going. Anyone have a digital copy of the service manual for these 700 series terminals?? Thanks Phil

Reversing Sinclair's amazing 1974 calculator hack - half the ROM of the HP-35

by lproven＠gmail.com

"In a hotel room in Texas, Clive Sinclair had a big problem. He wanted to sell a cheap scientific calculator that would grab the market from expensive calculators such as the popular HP-35. Hewlett-Packard had taken two years, 20 engineers, and a million dollars to design the HP-35, which used 5 complex chips and sold for $395. Sinclair's partnership with calculator manufacturer Bowmar had gone nowhere. Now Texas Instruments offered him an inexpensive calculator chip that could barely do four-function math. Could he use this chip to build a $100 scientific calculator?" http://files.righto.com/calculator/sinclair_scientific_simulator.html?utm_s… -- Liam Proven ?

VAX standalone backup: how to list it?

by cctech＠beyondthepale.ie

>Hello. >Maybe stupid question but I'm a newby of VMS. >I have a VS2000 with a Micropolis RD53 inside. >I recently repaired the hard disk, and from some tests it seems to have >no errors, so its content is safe. >I tried to boot the machine from it, and it turns to contain a >standalone backup. >I would try to list the content of the disk, but from manuals I >understand I would need to know the file names. >How to identify the content of this disk? >Thanks >Andrea The standalone backup environment is very limited. There is only one command - BACKUP which allows backups or restores to be preformed. If you have a tape device or another disk, you could try making a backup to it. If you include the /LOG qualifier, you should get a list of the files on the disk as they are backed up. Something like: BACKUP /IMAGE /LOG DUA0: MUA0:BACKUP.SAV /SAVE If you don't have a device to back up to, you could try backing up to the null device which, if it works, won't make much of a backup, but it should still list the files as they are processed: BACKUP /IMAGE /LOG DUA0: NLA0:BACKUP.SAV /SAVE Other than that, the other suggestions of putting the disk into a bootable system or booting the VS2000 from the network are probably the way to go.

Teletype Modem Options

by ball.of.john＠gmail.com

When I received my model 33 it came with a UCC82 Call Control Unit as an extra in the deal. http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a166/ballsandy/Computer%20related/teletype /CGS_0127.jpg (Photo of the CCU) It doesn't seem to do much on its own (makes the teletype print null characters uncontrollably when you plug the system in) and I can't find any information on what it did however just looking at it and a small note from google says it was used for putting a phone line on and off the hook and dialing. The row of buttons at the bottom controlled a Bell 101 or 103 DataPhone which you hid away in the stand. I've been searching up info on the 101 and I can't find a whole lot of anything short of it was one of the first modems, it was 110 baud and it had a D-sub 25 port that you connected it a computer/terminal with. They also seem to be about impossible to find. I have modems that cat run at 110 baud however god knows if the D-sub serial port on the back of them are the same and even if they were I have no idea how it would of connected to the teletype. Does anybody have more information?

VAX standalone backup: how to list it?

by shadoooo＠gmail.com

Hello. Maybe stupid question but I'm a newby of VMS. I have a VS2000 with a Micropolis RD53 inside. I recently repaired the hard disk, and from some tests it seems to have no errors, so its content is safe. I tried to boot the machine from it, and it turns to contain a standalone backup. I would try to list the content of the disk, but from manuals I understand I would need to know the file names. How to identify the content of this disk? Thanks Andrea

Toshiba CD-1000C Cartridge Tape Drive

by mark.darvill＠me.com

Has anyone come across one of these before and more importantly (to me!) has anyone any data sheets or a manual on the tape drive. The drive has a Toshiba label on it saying "Cartridge Tape Drive MTH 0551 F001 Model No. CD-1000C" and has a direct drive capstan. It looks like a 1/2" Cartridge Drive and it was used on the Data General Desktop Generation E6270 drive. I can find no mention of it on the internet so far! Thanks, Mark

Rack mounting BA23 in a H960

by pontus＠update.uu.se

Hi I have several BA11 and BA23 boxes that I would like to mount in a H960 rack. I have two contemporary black "drawers", but for the rest I was thinking some kind of shelf. It turns out these are somewhat expensive: http://www.starcase.com/images/shelf30_350.jpg http://www.cabletiesandmore.com/images/kendall-howard-rack-shelves/2U-4-Poi… http://www.edit5consoles.com/images/ru13_shelf.jpg There are also L-shaped rails that you put on either side: http://www.importgrossisten.se/8098-large/toten-l-stodskenor-2-pack-550mm-f… They are also quite pricy so I'm thinking I could make some of those myself. What do you guys use? I'm open to suggestions, preferably things that fit nicely in a H960, but really anything you use to prop up your retro hardware. Regards, Pontus.

Compaq SLT/286

by aw288＠osfn.org

Like the Sanyo just yesterday, I have a Compaq SLT/286 portable computer taking up space. Very nice condition, with power unit, dock, and bag. Any interest CHEAP? I am located in New York, zip 10512. Unlike the Sanyo, if there is no interest, I suppose I will just chop this up. I am desperately trying to clear out a bedroom to work on it - the bedroom that ends up being the junk overflow containment chamber. It would actually be nice to sleep in it sometime.

XT-IDE V2 PCBs available

by LYNCHAJ＠YAHOO.COM

Hi! There are some XT-IDE V2 PCBs available if anyone would like some. They will cost the same as before ($12 each). However due to unforeseen extreme price increases in shipping by USPS I am forced to change shipping costs. Shipping in the US will be $3 for a single PCB and $2 for each additional PCB. Shipping internationally will be $10 for a single PCB and $3 for each additional PCB. This is for the bare basics USPS first class postage with no tracking or insurance. The builder assumes all risk of delivery as per usual arrangement. I apologize for the large price increase on shipping but this is out of my hands. The USPS is in dire financial trouble and is raising prices on shipping. It affects us all and is most unfortunate. These boards are provided "at cost" so there is no margin to absorb any shipping price increases. I have to pass them along. If you would like one or more XT-IDE V2 PCBs please send a PayPal to LYNCHAJ at YAHOO.COM http://www.vintage-computer.com/vcforum/showwiki.php?title=XTIDE+Rev2 There are about 10 XT-IDE V2 PCBs left. Thanks and have a nice day! Andrew Lynch

Suggestions Appreciated for a Program Counter History Log

by jhfinedp3k＠compsys.to

I know of only one example of a debugger which supports a Program Counter History Log. I am in the process of adding a Program Counter History Log to the System Debugger in RT-11 on a PDP-11. I would appreciate a few suggestions from anyone who has any experience with a debugger program which supports Program Counter History Logging. For users who are not familiar with PDP-11 hardware, the primary interface is a serial terminal, usually with 9600 baud these days (don't laugh - I first started on a PDP-11 around 1975 over a 300 baud modem), with a screen of 24 lines by 80 columns. There are a probably a VERY, VERY few systems which use VT420 terminals which can support 48 lines, but which are probably rarely, if ever used with other than 24 lines by 80 columns. From my point of view, the primary considerations are the lack of both speed (9600 baud takes seconds to fill a full screen) and available screen space to display more than about 200 addresses from the History Log Buffer (at 10 addresses per line). While I normally use the Ersatz-11 Emulator for the PDP-11 which provides me the possibility of using screens of 50 lines, I suspect that I am presently the ONLY person to interact with RT-11 using a screen of this many lines, let alone the speed of the screen which is so fast that the time between SCROLL and NOSCROLL is usually a dozen lines of output to the screen. At 9600 baud, the SCROLL vs NOSCROLL time delay is only a few dozen characters at most, certainly less than one line of output to the screen in almost all cases. The only experience I have with a debugger which has a History Log is with a 64 word buffer of addresses for the 64 immediately previous instructions. While this is often sufficient to at least pinpoint the general location of where the program stopped, it was often insufficient to locate where the problem started. For those who have direct PDP-11 experience, the following information might also be useful. At present, there are two buffers which can be displayed: (a) A buffer with 40 of the last interrupt entries to SD: which are composed of 5 words each: - Program Counter Address from the Stack - Program Status Word from the Stack - Word (instruction?) at that Address - Word (instruction?) at the Previous Address - Control Word which is used by SD: (PROSNG) (b) A buffer with the last 1000 Addresses of the last 1000 instructions that have been executed The current logic in the code to save each instruction address in the 1000 word buffer ONCE and ONLY once uses all five of the above values. There seems no point in displaying all 1000 addresses since only about 200 can stay on the screen and it takes too long in any case. However, just how useful are the past 1000 addresses as an aid in debugging? Since it takes no additional time for a larger circular buffer over a smaller circular buffer (in fact maybe a larger buffer is insignificantly faster) and there is memory available, I opted for the largest buffer that was reasonable The other buffer with the 5 word entries entries for the last 40 interrupts will be used when there are any questions about the exact details of any interrupt with respect to a user having set a Breakpoint or any other logic errors in the debugger in general and specifically when adding addresses to the 1000 word history log. NOW finally, here are my questions. Are there any suggestions as to how many previous instructions are needed to usually be helpful to have a log for when a program has a problem? Also, would it be useful to have the first word (two bytes) of the instruction as well as the address in order to identify the actual instruction or is the address almost always sufficient? On the PDP-11 with instructions being 1, 2 or 3 words, it is totally unlikely that having the addresses of the previous instructions would ever allow a user to confuse which code was previously executed unless two variants of almost identical code had been purposely constructed so as to confuse the user. This could occur when two overlays use the same addresses to execute that code, but it is almost impossible to happen by chance and even it it did, an extra NOP could simply shift the code for one of the variants so as to avoid the confusion.

Jerome, hopefully you'll get much better-qualified answers than mine; I have little to no experience programming assembly or PDP-11. That said, I can think of a few possible answers: 1) enough instructions that any timing-critical loop will be captured when an external interrupt dropping into the debugger is generated. This might be relatively short - 200 instructions or so? User (not necessarily programmer?) would set up and start a long calculation (mandelbrot set, whatever) and then hit "break", and be able to look back far enough to verify that the correct sequence of instructions is repeating over and over. For actual number, maybe look at the longest loop in RT-11 that repeats many times successively? 2) enough instructions that any timing-critical *subroutine" will be captured when dropping into the debugger. This would be a *lot* more, depending on application. In this case, the programmer would add a break point to the code right after the timing-critical routine (disk access, real-time control interrupt service routine, whatever) and then look back at the buffer to verify that the whole routine took the correct execution path. For disk access, that might be a *lot* of loops, though, so maybe you are only capable of writing a buffer to hold the last few iterations? For actual number, look at the longest single executable code unit in RT-11? 3) Configurable depth, configured at launch time for debugger Programmer gets to make the trade between debugger buffer depth and available memory for his program. Not sure any of this is helpful, and you probably have thought of it anyway. -- - Mark 210-379-4635 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Large Asteroids headed toward planets inhabited by beings that don't have technology adequate to stop them: Think of it as Evolution in Fast-Forward.

PDP 8/L front panel "major states" question

by derschjo＠gmail.com

After a couple of evenings spent tracking down a core memory problem, I now have myPDP-8/L running (haven't yettested everything but it's been looking good so far.) There are four bulbs out on the front panel which I have some spares for, but while going through the replacement I noticed that only one ("CA") of the six "Major States"bulbs is actually installed (therearen't even sockets present for the other 5, doesn't look like they were ever present). Is this typicalfor the 8/L? I may install sockets for the other 5, because I'm pretty sure that more lights = better computer... - Josh

Some fun history after I STFA

by jon＠jonworld.com

As some of you know, I have two smaller children, ages six and seven. I decided it was family movie night and busted out a copy of "Flight of the Navigator." ... this is a Disney-produced sci-fi flick from 1986 and includes some interesting CGI (from 1984-1985 if you think about it.) So with the kids entrenched by the plot, I broke out the google and began to search and try to find out "how did they do the cgi for Flight of the Navigator?" I found the following, which answered my question. http://dave.zfx.com/omnibus.html && http://dave.zfx.com/nav.html The F1 sounds like a very interesting setup. -- -Jon Jonathan Katz, Indianapolis, IN.

I have tried replacing the cabinet kit (this is the same machine where I have been having the cabinet kit problems), the AUI converter, the patch cable, the DEQNA with another DEQNA and also with a DELQA. The result is always the same. I am not sure what the problem might be. I suppose it could still be something at the network level. It might perhaps be the CPU board, but if it gets that far into the boot sequence (already prompted for date and time) this seems unlikely. Any suggestions? Regards Rob

DEQNA/DELQA cabinet kit fault mystery

by robert.jarratt＠ntlworld.com

I have a DEQNA cabinet kit that does not work. I know this because if I replace it with another one the activity light on the switch works and I am able to see MOP requests coming from the machine to my boot node, with the faulty one none of this happens. Now, I have tested the fuse and I have tested the connectivity of every wire >from the internal connector that connects to the DEQNA board (also tried with a DELQA by the way) to the AUI connector on the outside of the cabinet kit. Everything seems to be OK. But it doesn't work. I have tried "jiggling" the wires a bit while testing the continuity of the wires, but it still seems OK. What other failures could there be?

Circumvent EFI's SecureBoot

by b4＠gewt.net

Evening all, I?ve been thinking (I don?t actually have a secureboot-capable device nor have I read the spec) about one would theoretically circumvent it. I was initially thinking of it in terms of how TSX as booted on the PDP-11 (starting at RT-11, loading TSX as ash application and having it replace RT-11). That approach has some flaws, however: 1). In the case of WinRT, user mode apps wouldn?t have the privileges to replace WinRT?s memory. 2). Kernel modules providing a shim would need to be signed else they wouldn?t load. 3). You couldn?t modify a driver without the checksum matching. Which brings me to this: Does SecureBoot actually check if the checksum matches, or just the public and private key? Alternatively, how securely is the key stored? Would it be possible to retrieve the key from memory? If that?s doable, it would be easier to implement this. Are there any steps in the modern NT boot procedure I?m forgetting that would let you inject a ?boot loader? to ?jump? to either windows or Another OS that would circumvent SecureBoot? Thoughts/comments greatly appreciated!.

MPE/ix media

by vcomp99＠gmail.com

(repost from comp.sys.hp.mpe) Hi All As I can't get any response from HP, I've decided to give this group a try... With a group of a system programmers, we're working on free, open source 3k emulator, based on QEMU (and it's binary translator), with the goal to get a fully functioning rp7400/N4K environment. As for now, we have it working with HP-UX 11i, but our main goal is to get MPE/iX up and running on it... So, my question is - is someone on this group able to provide us with a MPE/iX installation media images? I know it's a gray land, but as I can't get any response from HP (even after they announced their HP3k simulator programme), I'm willing to risk and try to run our simulator with 'unauthorized' copy of the OS, just to check if it's working... Thank you for your help, Piotr

New S-100 Parallel IO board

by LYNCHAJ＠YAHOO.COM

Hi John and I have just completed a new S-100 board and are now taking reservations for the first batch of manufactured PCBs. It is the S-100 Parallel IO board which provides four input parallel ports, four output parallel ports, and a PC compatible Centronics port. It has debugging LEDs and other features to help get your S-100 system working in top shape. The board is designed to be reliable and easy to assemble.? The schematic and PCB layout files are on the N8VEM wiki here http://n8vem-sbc.pbworks.com/w/browse/#view=ViewFolder&param=S-100%20Paralle lIO There is an article on S100computers.com here which describes the prototype board. http://www.s100computers.com/My%20System%20Pages/Parallel%20Ports%20IO%20Boa rd/Parallel%20Ports%20IO%20Board.htm The PCBs will be $20 each as per the usual arrangement.? Shipping in the US is $3 for a single PCB and $2 for each additional PCB.? Shipping internationally is $10 for a single PCB and $3 for each additional PCB.? This is for the bare basics USPS first class postage with no tracking or insurance.? The builder assumes all risk of delivery as per usual arrangement. Please send a PayPal to LYNCHAJ at YAHOO.COM with ?S-100 Parallel IO board? to reserve your board.? I will place the PCB manufacturing order as soon as I get to 20 units and will get a few extras for those who come later. Thanks and have a nice day! Andrew Lynch

All the rotary encoders on HP instruments from the late '70s thru the late '80s used +5V, grain-of-wheat bulbs. I have yet to see a led used in any of the 15 - 20 encoders that I've repaired to date. ->CRC

Anyone need an Intel 8035? (MCS-48)

by b4＠gewt.net

Evening all, I recently parted out an old electric organ which had a too-far-gone electrical system for me to repair it. I now have some spare micro controllers and misc. ICs I have no idea what to do with. Anyone need an Intel 8035 or have any ideas what I could do with one? I?d know what I?d do if ti were z80 compatible, but it unfortunately is no.
