Bidding Against NASA

by dquebbeman＠acm.org

Good Morning, I think this may have come up some weeks back... But among 8-inch floppy drives and other unspecified items, NASA is buying up all the 8086 microprocessors they can lay their hands on, specifically, to keep the Space Shuttle flying. Not the more common 8088, of course, but its 16-bit big brother. Although as government agencies go, NASA doesn't have deep pockets, it certainly has deeper ones than I do. I should count my recent acquisition of the IBM 8 inch external floppy drive as a soon-to-be-rare occurance. Anyone else here ticked of that not only are they trying to keep that questionable pig flying, but they are doing it by reducing further the quantity of collectable stuff? Screw the boost in value... -dq -Douglas Hurst Quebbeman (DougQ at ixnayamspayIgLou.com) [Call me "Doug"] Surgically excise the pig-latin from my e-mail address in order to reply "The large print giveth, and the small print taketh away." -Tom Waits

[CCTALK] Car -- not exactly on topic

by csmith＠amdocs.com

Hi guys, I wanted to write an email to the classiccmp list a few days ago asking for some advice on this, but I didn't think it would be very healthy for me given all of the complaining, and just plain nastiness people were showing towards anything even remotely not on topic. As it is, I hope that since this is going to the new list, I won't get too much animosity for asking. Please note that it's my respect for the opinions of the group as a whole that actually prompts me to ask here. So here it is: I know that several of us here have somewhat strange cars, and am looking for some parts, and just general advice to go with a 1989 Jaguar XJ6 Vanden Plas. Arguably on topic because it's got very prominent computers, which are more than 10 years old ;) -- but I don't really see many problems with the computer part. Rather, I'm looking for trim, a glove box latch, door handles, that kind of thing. If anyone knows where to get that kind of part, or what else I should check for the sake of the car's health, please email me. I could also use advice on removing small rust spots, cleaning the carpeting, protecting the leather, and anything else that goes with having a car. This will be my first car in quite some time. Thanks, Chris Christopher Smith, Perl Developer Amdocs - Champaign, IL /usr/bin/perl -e ' print((~"\x95\xc4\xe3"^"Just Another Perl Hacker.")."\x08!\n"); '

Alpha 3000/800

by pietstan＠rogers.com

I finally got some time to fire up one of my recent finds... an Alpha 3000/800. I mounted a DSP3107 (1gb scsi) inside the chassis, hooked up the StorageWorks tower/floppy to the onboard SCSI controller, and powered it up. Magically, the VT320 displayed the POST messages, and the machine even found the floppy (dkb100). I proceeded to boot from the NetBSD-Alpha 1.5.1 install floppy, and got to the sysinst menu, when I smelled the ominous presence of escaping magic blue smoke (even though I didn't see any!).. I powered everything off, let it sit for a few minutes while I tried to find the source of the non-smoke. When I powered the 3000 back up, it hung with FD displayed on the LED display, with no output to the VT320... Any ideas as to what might be cooked?? Thanks... Stan

[CCTALK] HP Apollo 715/50

by pat＠purdueriots.com

I just got one of these with no disks, no kb, and no monitor. It's a 'desktop' model not one of the jumbo 'server' models. Fortuantely, it came with 64M of ram. Does anyone have 1) an idea of how to switch it to use a serial console without any keyboard (I don't have any HIL stuff), or 2) an HIL keyboard they want to get rid of? Thanks. -- Pat

Well, a '64 XKE roadster, maybe, but that doesn't have any computers, and XJ's are tanks. No offense, Chris. None taken. That said, does anyone know about the systems in these?
