RSX-11 Kermit Transfers

by NOcmcnabbSPAM＠4mcnabb.net

Which kermit mode should be used when transfering files to an RSX-11 system using kermit, ASCII or BINARY? I realize this is normally based on the type of the file, but when I xfer task files using BINARY I get this silly "not a valid task" message when I try to install or run the file.

OK, time for another round of cleaning. All of the following is available immediately, just inside the Washington DC Beltway (I-495). Pick up only; no shipping. E-mail me at "shoppa(a)trailing-edge.com" if you're interested. Qty 5 RL02 drives. Take them all and get a free DEC H960 rack with power controller too. (You just have to help me lug it out of the basement...) Qty 2 rack-mount BA23 chassis. Random cards inside, I let you pick over my box of old Q-bus junk too. Qty 1 floor-standing BA23 chassis. Most of a Microvax III inside. One BA123, most of a Microvax II inside. Some 5.25" FH SCSI and ESDI drives. In the few hundred MB to 2 Gbyte range. At least two 600MB Magento-Optical 5.25" cartridge drives, SCSI interface. Dozens and dozens of cartridges too. A bunch of RL02 packs in a stand-up roll-down-door Wright-Line cabinet. I'd prefer to give these to whoever takes the RL02 drives. A few random RL01 carts mixed in. A DEC Alpha 3000/300 with greyscale monitor.

Free 8" floppy drives, near Washington DC

by classiccmp＠trailing-edge.com

Same conditions as the DEC stuff: You pick up only. A bunch of Shugart 8" floppy drives, electrically identical to SA801's but the aluminum castings are slightly wider than a real SA801. (Maybe these are SA901's? I don't know.) E-mail me at "shoppa(a)trailing-edge.com" if interested. Tim.

any interest in deskjets?

by rschaefe＠gcfn.org

I've got several located in Columbus, Ohio that I really don't want. Anybody want 'em before I set them out by the curb? They're basically untested, but it's a pretty good bet the pickup tires are going bad. :) I can dig up model #'s if anyone's interested. Bob

Although many of us do trade and sell equipment, we do so in order to support our hobby, not in anticipation of a quick, fat profit at someone else's expense. If you choose to deal in these items on a for-profit basis, so be it, but this is not the place to do so. My apologies to the listmembers for the rant.

However, Bozeman *is* a bit off the beaten track, and a straightforward tour (arranged as a timeline) only takes about an hour. All the exhibits are static: no blinkenlights, poppenkorken, or blowenfusen to amuse das dumbkopfen. When I was there (about 3 years ago) they didn't have anything really exotic that I can recall, but there were some quite cool electromechanical accounting machines and some fine 10 key-per-column Burroughs adding machines. There is a well stocked little gift shop. The people who run it certainly know their stuff (spelling mistakes notwithstanding). Also well worth looking into is: http://www.computerhistory.org/ located at Moffet Field, near Mountain View, CA. I was there last week, and they have some very neat stuff: part of the original ENIAC, a complete (but butchered) JOHNNIAC, a CRAY 1, a CRAY 2, the original Woz Apple prototype, and uncharted warehouses full of dusty boxes donated over the years. At present they are only open a couple of days a week. A very knowledgeable guide (who probably actually used some of the stuff they have on display) will give you a guided tour.

Bob Wallace, R.I.P.

by swtpc6800＠attbi.com

When I first moved to Seattle in December of 1977, I checked out the local computer stores. At "The Retail Computer Store" the clerk was Bob Wallace. Bob invited me to the Northwest Computer Club meetings that were then held at the Pacific Science Center (part of the 1962 Worlds Fair.) Club officers, December 1977 http://www.swtpc.com/mholley/MySystem/ClubMembers100.jpg The Club hosted a computer fair at the Science Center. (In 1978 and 1979 it drew thousands of people.) Bob ran the first one and I was volunteered to run the fair the next year. I was glad the Bob was around to help for the second fair. The night the second fair was over, Bob and I sat around talking. He almost finished with his Masters in Computer Science at the University of Washington. (He was helping with the fair during finals week.) He was excited about his new job in Albuquerque with Microsoft. Later when I was working at Data I/O doing PLD software (ABEL), we OEMed a few thousand copies of Bob's text editor "PC-Write".

Transputer Boards

by mail.list＠analog-and-digital-solutions.com

Re: Transputer Boards I talked with a hobbyist this morning, that unfortunately since about the time of the 9/11 incident, has been out of work for the last year, and is selling some of his gear to make next month's rent. He currently sells stuff on eBay. ( note: to make as much money as he can, and he is at least honest in his open admission of it, so he has my respect for that ). He is looking for some transputer boards. I myself don't yet know anything about them, as I've never had any, or done any research on them. But if anyone has any they want to sell, let me know what you've got, and how much you want for it/them. I might be willing to buy some for him, and he and I would then trade some parts. You'd pretty much have to be wanting what he, as another hobbyist, would be willing to pay for them, so if you're not interested ( because it might not be a whole lot, I just don't know ), I would completely understand.
