486 DOS machines OT yet? Networking on Same?

NCSA Telnet (which includes a DOS command-line FTP client) and the packet driver from your driver diskette? This works for me. > I want it to talk to my Samba equiped Linux Server... If you want to be able to mount it as a network drive, you are probably looking for LAN Manager (as a client) or an MS-DOS NFS client (I know there were some commercial offerings, don't know about free). -Frank McConnell

PDP8/L power supply schematic wanted...

by jos.mar＠bluewin.ch

I am looking for the 8/L power supply schematic in order to repair my machine. The immidiate culprit is clear ( burned out transformator ), but the schematics would give enough information to rewire the transformator. All online pages do not give anything beyond a very small section on the regulated output voltages. Jos Dreesen

Under Un*x, srec_cat from SRecord can be used for this purpose. It looks like it can be built for Win32 using gcc under Cygwin too. <http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/softeng/Aegis/srecord.html> -Frank McConnell

Need byte-splitter utility

by glenslick＠hotmail.com

I would guess that there is a way to do this all with the Unisite software since that is a pretty standard operation with any programmer. But for a different way to do it, how about WinHex ? http://www.sf-soft.de/winhex/index-m.html The feature list includes: Binary, Hex ASCII, Intel Hex, and Motorola S conversion z. B. for (E)PROM programmers. Edit | Convert Unifying and dividing odd and even bytes/words for (E)PROM programmers. File Manager | Unify/Dissect > I've got a single EPROM file that I need to split into separate >odd-byte/even-byte files for programming into two separate (smaller) >EPROMs. I'm not able to figure out how to make the Unisite programmer do >this, so I'm thinking a DOS or Windoze based splitting utility will do the >trick. _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

hp-85A & 128K mem module question

by Innfogra＠aol.com

I don't have access to my books at the moment. Does anyone know what command or process you would use on a HP-85A to verify that the 128K Memory Module that plugs into the back of The HP is working. I seem to remember that the 85A needs a ROM to use a 128K Memory Module. If this is true what one? I just looked in my 1982 HP Catalog and it indicates that the 85A cannot access that much memory, that it was limited to max of 112K in a certain configuration. I cannot find my 1984 catalog at the moment and my 85 books are buried in storage. Any help appreciated. Paxton Astoria, OR

Free Stuff in Dallas, TX

by jrice54＠charter.net

I had someone pick up the Amiga stuff, but I still have some things that have to go: Calcomp 1043GT "E" plotter with a couple of hundred pens Numonics 2200 "E" size digitizer with power supply, puck and cables Tandy 2000 with keyboard, VM-1 monitor Tandy 1400LT with power brick. The battery is dead, but the syatem boots. Batteries+ said that they could rebuild the battery. Everything works, I just don't have the room anymore. If nobody wants this stuff, it's going to the curb. I'm located in Rockwall, Tx but I work near downtown Dallas. Almost any area in the metroplex can be arranged for a pickup. -- http://webpages.charter.net/jrice54/classiccomp2.html

3.5" 720K floppy drives

by cb＠mythtech.net

>anyone have any of these floating around? I may need a few in the near >future I have one, but I'm not sure if it works 100% of the time. I've had problems with it in the past, but I never bothered to debug enough to see if it was the drive, or something else (it was only used for one job, and the client for that job was notorious for sending bad disks, so it could simply have always been the disks). Its a 3.5" in a 5.25" half height case (not a removable adaptor shell, but an actual 5.25 casing). If you want it, you can have it for the cost of shipping from 07450. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

AXP 7000 startup, now doing OSF/1

I don't doubt it's a nice machine, much larger than I'm brave enough to tackle though. The biggest such machine I'd like would be a VAX4000 class system. Eventually I'd like to get something like an DS20 or ES40 for running VMSon. > I'd give you login account (over my dialup IP) just the problem I > am having is that after I built the custom kernel it still won't > let any user other than root login.

OpenVMS Hobbyist CD, Reading under Linux/BSD ?

I want to attempt to install OpenVMS 7.2 via MOP over the network, to do this I need to get the files off the CD since I don't actually have another VAX to read the CD on. (I'm using a Linux host running mopd... I was able to install NetBSD that way) Anyone know how I could read the data off the CD under Linux or *BSD ? -jwb

Vaxen vultures on ebay ... and is "rtlacy" here?

by gunther＠aurora.regenstrief.org

Hi, Joe Moir from Boston just did the ultimate sell off of his VAX11 gear. Boy the stuff went for $50 per box. An 11/780, 11/785, and an 11/795, ahem, 8650. The were all in ugly parted out shape, but significant sources for spares. I now have an 11/785 backplane, and since my 11/780 doesn't work properly anyway, I can just as well start converting it. I almost had all three of those, but a fellow with ebay name "rtlacy" had made a little more decisive bids on them. Now I wonder, just in case, is anyone of you out in the Boston area, just in case? regards, -Gunther
