Sure :-)
What you describe is not quite right; they're not usually totally randomly
interconnected. If there are lots of neurons, they're usually in three layers.
At least, for a "conventional" multilayer network, they are. There are various
methods for adjusting the weights on the perceptron inputs, and propagating
changes backwards through the network, in order to "teach" it. It's a slow
process, involving a lot of repetition, large amounts of test data, and various
formulae to do the back-propagation and also to determine when you've done
enough teaching (which basically means deciding when you've minimised the
errors). If you overteach such networks, the performance can actually decline.
You can also build a single-layer network with just one neuron (they're usually
called perceptrons, BTW). However, single-layer networks are restricted to
distinguishing linearly-separable entities. In other words, if you plotted a
scatter chart with all the possible inputs represented as dots, you could
separate them into two types just by drawing a straight line through the chart.
If you have more than two types, then more lines. More than two input
criteria, more dimensions (and use planes etc instead of lines). The problem
is, not all of the world is like that. A single layer network can't separate
types if they aren't arranged in an appropriate way -- the simplest
non-linearly-solvable example is the XOR problem: two types, but arranged like
the pattern of 1s and 0s in an XOR truth table:
1 0
0 1
You can't draw a single line that separates the 0s from the 1s; so by
definition they're not linearly seperable. You can easily do this with a
multilayer network, of course.
Then there are Hopfield networks. All the neurons are connected to all the
others in a Hopfield network. The feedback equations get quite interesting.
And Kohonen networks. You don't teach them; they learn. *What* they learn may
take some figuring out...
And binary networks like the one I was working with recently. You should be
able to find some information about that on our Department's web server (and
several other places too).

I know we discussed this earlier, so the replies can be private, if
you wish, but it seems that some people here are familiar with the
field.
My question is this. My understanding of neural networks is a bunch
of neurons, all more or less randomly connected, with one output
and an arbitrary number of inputs; if the sum of the inputs equals
a certain predetermined level, the neuron sends a pulse on the output,
to trigger other neurons.
Could someone please complicate the picture for me?

That's all I'd need to know. I am quite used to building PSUs on such a
spec. Or less. (Actually I'd look inside to see whether it needs to be
regulated, but 6V seldom does).

The model 100 I've seen for 100 or more UK pounds over here. I don't
know what additional features were in the 102; I also don't think I
could afford L100. But I'd probably pay $50 US including shipping for a
model 102 without power supply.

PS I'm back from Taiwan at last. Taiwan really is the most unhackish
place I've been on my travels... But more to the point, I've missed
most of the last 3 weeks on Classiccmp, so I may be ignorant of the
context on some longer-running threads. Please forgive any silly
questions that may arise...

I have had an instance of this recently. At work a tape drive attached to a
PC and which takes the same size casettes as my Sun386i is about to become
redundant. The an accounts clerk in the department concerned has said that
I will not be able to have the _drive_ because it has been used for
confidential data. The fact that the data is on the _tapes_ seems to
reflect on the availability of the drive!

I would like hear from anyone that has done any archiving of their
classic computer documents and manuals.
I'm currently using a UMAX 300P that claims a maximum 24 bit color
resolution of 300x600 dpi. I'm scanning into Photoshop4 and saving
in JPEG format. I'm trying to save as much information as I can, so
pages that have any color besides black and white, I'm scanning
at 299 (that's the max for color) dpi in RGB and and everything else in
299 dpi grayscale. I'm averaging, for 8.5 x 11 pages, about 5.3 Mb
for color and 2.1 Mb for grayscale. Just last weekend I burned
my first CD of docs consisting of 26 color pages and 170 B/W
pages for a total of 454 Mb.( I didn't fill the CD bcause I was anxious
to try printing the files at work.)
I printed two of the highest detailed B/W pages (schematics) today
at 400 dpi. The results were disappointing. All of the fine details were
lost. I assume I need to use a higher resolution for printing. I also have
quite a bit of background clutter on the printed page. I'm having no
problems seeing the smallest details when I magnify the pages in
Photoshop.

Hello. I know that this is semi-off-topic, but does anyone have MS-DOS
mouse drivers for a Serial MS 2.0 mouse? I was trying to run some classic
DOS based software, which requires a mouse, which was not included because
of Windows 95... I tried running it in Windows, I get an error...

Actually, 300 is the max without interpolation. Stuff that's truly B&W
should be scanned in B&W mode. The problem is that grayscale picks up
variations in print strength, smudges, etc. B&W says "This dot is more
than x dark, it's black. This dot is less than x dark, it's white."
>for color and 2.1 Mb for grayscale. Just last weekend I burned
B&W will also save disk space.
> I printed two of the highest detailed B/W pages (schematics) today

The details will get smudged if you scan in grayscale. Also, print at the
same dpi as you scanned; printing at a higher dpi won't do you any good,
and your document will print 1/3 smaller.
>lost. I assume I need to use a higher resolution for printing. I also have
same as scanned.

It sounds like you have a pretty amazing Mac 128K! Why the hell would you
want to tear it back down to its puny original configuration? This Mac is
a testament to the expandability of a machine that no one thought
expandable.

Well from a preservation point of view, this makes a very interesting
machine as it stands - probably fairly unique. Maybe the thing to do
would be to collect together a bunch of 64Kx1 chips and keep them safe
somewhere so that the machine could easily be restored to original
condition (or as close as possible) at some point in the future, if that
were necessary.
Surely there's still quite a few Mac 128K's around, so they're not an
endangered species yet...
Just my 2p's worth (or $0.02, depending on which you prefer...)

$ ! RX0x and TU58. Move them from the third volume to the fourth.
$ !
$ ! X-38 KAB0009 Karen Barth 22-Dec-1987
$ ! Took out the phy_io workaround running SETSIZE (X-28)
$ ! and added PHY_IO to the required set of privileges.
$ !
$ ! X-37 KAB0008 Karen Barth 21-Dec-1987
$ ! Set the SYSGEN parameters PQL_MWSDEFAULT, PQL_MWSEXTENT
$ ! and PQL_MWSQUOTA to 2048, to match the defaults.
$ ! This fixes a problem that causes an ACCVIO when
$ ! running S/A BACKUP.
$ !
$ ! X-36 KAB0007 Karen Barth 04-Dec-1987
$ ! Add TSV05 support.
$ ! Clean up the indentation on the copy commands.
$ !
$ ! X-35 KAB0006 Karen Barth 01-Dec-1987
$ ! Removed SYSLOA65W from all kits because a decision
$ ! was made not to support it.
$ !
$ ! X-34 KAB0005 Karen Barth 17-Nov-1987
$ ! Add LMF$GROUP_TABLE.EXE to all kits. This is
$ ! necessary for the kits to boot on systems with LMF.
$ ! We intend to replace this with just a stub eventually
$ ! because licensing is not needed to run Standalone
$ ! Backup and this file is expected to grow quite large.
$ ! Add CPULOA.EXE to all kits. This is also necessary for
$ ! booting because of licensing.
$ ! Add PADRIVER to the tape kit because Calypso needs it.
$ ! Adjusted error path and message to reflect the proper
$ ! value for POOL_REQ. This was stopping the tape kit
$ ! from building with PADRIVER added.
$ ! Add SYSLOA9CC to create_index. In the shuffle of
$ ! various people changing STABACKIT, this was left
$ ! out, which causes a boot failure.
$ ! Fix RX33 build. The kit did not fit because Indexf.sys
$ ! was too large, so special cased the disk initialization
$ ! with the /headers qualifier instead of relying on defaults.
$ ! Change the message in the RX50 kit to reflect the
$ ! fact that it now requires 4 floppies instead of 3.
$ !
$ ! X-33 JAE0001 Jerry Eckert 2-Nov-1987
$ ! Add Polarstar (8PS) processor support:
$ ! o SYSLOA8PS and CWDRIVER on big disk kit
$ ! o SYSLOA8PS on tape kit
$ ! No changes were made to the small disk kitting
$ ! procedure because the Polarstar console does not
$ ! support devices in this category.
$ !
$ ! X-31 KABA004 Karen Barth 28-Oct-1987
$ ! Fix no priv error reporting. A label was mis-named
$ ! which caused the error "USGOTO, target of GOTO not
$ ! found".
$ !
$ ! X-30 KAB0003 Karen Barth 15-Oct-1987
$ ! Fix so TK70 is treated as a tape, not disk
$ !
$ ! X-29 SLT0002 Sarah Tappan 29-Sep-1987
$ ! Add ^Y exit support while creating open_index.dat
$ !
$ ! X-28 KAB0001 Karen Barth 28-Sep-1987
$ ! Fix SYS$LDR problem when upgrading from V4.x to V5.0.
$ ! Add Calypso support.
$ ! Exclude TVDRIVER from RX0x kits to create more space.
$ ! Fix RA60/small console problem.
$ ! Disallow switching to an RX33 diskette in the middle
$ ! of building an RX50 kit in an RX33 device.
$ ! Add phy_io to BUILD_PSEUDO_VOLUME (workaround for external
$ ! bug - insufficient privilege running SETSIZE).
$ ! Shuffle SWITCH_VOLUMEs so files fit on TU58s.
$ !
$ ! X-27 SLT0001 Sarah Tappan 22-Sep-1987
$ ! Add support to create file OPEN_INDEX.DAT when booting
$ ! from a TK50 and copy the file to tape cartridge
$ ! following SYSBOOT.EXE. This file is used to avoid opening
$ ! the files during the boot process and speeds up tape booting.
$ !
$ ! X-26 ELM0007 Eva MacKay 25-AUG-1987
$ ! Add support for TU81 1/2 inch mag tape (treated just
$ ! TK50 tape cartridge)
$ !
$ ! X-25 ROW0607 Ralph O. Weber 15-AUG-1987
$ ! Add copyright notice, as a comment.
$ !
$ ! X-24 KGW00122 Keith G. Walls 23-Jul-1987 17:19
$ ! Add LIDRIVER to all kits (except TK50 kit for now).
$ !
$ ! X-? DBM DB Mills 23-Jul-1987
$ ! Misc changes for increasing NPAGEDYN, merging V4.6
$ ! version into V5.0 version, reordering files for V5.0
$ ! EXEC changes. Fix edit history.
$ !
$ ! X-23 JTK Jim Klumpp 17-Apr-1987
$ ! Add Mayfair images.
$ !
$ ! X-22 HH0270 Hai Huang 15-Apr-1987
$ ! Clear LOAD_SYS_IMAGES SYSGEN parameter to disable
$ ! processing of system image data file.
$ !
$ ! X-21 HH0268 Hai Huang 3-Apr-1987
$ ! Set SYSGEN MULTIPROCESSING parameter to appropriate
$ ! value and put SYSTEM_SYNCHRONIZATION_UNI.EXE on the
$ ! standalone system kit.
$ !
$ ! X-20 BJT0073 Benjamin J. Thomas III 20-Mar-1987
$ ! Add proper RX33 support.
$ ! Add DVDRIVER for VAXstar (remove comments).
$ ! Shuffle RX50 floppy switch locations where necessary.
$ !
$ ! X-19 HH0262 Hai Huang 19-Mar-1987
$ ! Correctly copy VMS$SYSTEM_IMAGES.DATA (use CopyTC
$ ! since this is a binary file).
$ !
$ ! X-18 HH0260 Hai Huang 16-Mar-1987
$ ! Add VMS$SYSTEM_IMAGES.DATA.
$ !
$ ! X-17 CWH5017 CW Hobbs 24-Feb-1987
$ ! Use PSEUDOLOA instead of VMSD4.
$ !
$ ! X-16 BJT0067 Benjamin J. Thomas III 18-Feb-1987

$ !
$ ! X-15 CRF001 Chris Franklin 13-Feb-1987
$ ! Remove references to MicroVMS in comments.
$ !
$ ! X-14 HH0238 Hai Huang 9-Jan-1987
$ ! Add support for loadable images in a separate directory,
$ ! i.e. <SYS$LDR> rather than <SYSEXE>.
$ !
$ ! X-13 KGW00054 Keith G. Walls 8-Dec-1986 03:34
$ ! Make the messages reflect the number (five) of pieces of
$ ! media required for TU58 and RX0x kits.
$ !
$ ! X-12 KGW00053 Keith G. Walls 8-Dec-1986 03:28
$ ! Fix file-split for TU58 and RX0X kits.
$ !
$ ! X-11 KGW00052 Keith G. Walls 7-Dec-1986 04:07
$ ! Generation numbers were out-of-synch because of
$ ! concurrent development.
$ !
$ ! X-7 KGW00048 Keith G. Walls 6-Nov-1986 00:32
$ ! Change to reflect Version 5's exec-reorg and SMP.
$ ! Differences:
$ ! (1) The new exec files from the split sys.exe must be
$ ! copied to the kit. There is no restriction on the number
$ ! of diskettes or files per volume with the following
$ ! exceptions:
$ ! (a) VAXVMSSYS.PAR must be on the same volume as SYS.EXE.
$ ! (b) Any file loaded before SYS.EXE (boot driver,
$ ! VMB.EXE, SYSBOOT.EXE) must be on the first volume.
$ ! (c) Any optional files must be on the same volume
$ ! as the most recently loaded mandatory file. (Not
$ ! used (yet) except the special case of VAXVMSSYS.PAR).
$ ! (2) SYS.EXE can no longer be split across volumes.
$ ! (3) The pseudo-device method of booting is supported only
$ ! for tapes. (I.e. no file may be split across volumes.)
$ ! (4) Change the way that volumes are changed in this routine
$ ! by calling a subroutine to do the volume switch.
$ ! (5) Change all symbol assignments to global.
$ ! (6) Delete all (inherited) global symbols.
$ ! (7) Back-out JJO0022.
$ ! Merge concurrent replacements:
$ !
$ ! X-6 WCT Ward C. Travis 15-Sep-1986
$ ! Updated to build with new 410 name for VAXstar processor.
$ !
$ ! X-5 CWH0005 CW Hobbs 8-Jul-1986
$ ! Support for the VAXstar.
$ !
$ ! X-? JJO0022 Jay J. Olson 27-Feb-1986
$ ! Allow RX50 kits to be built in such a way that the
$ ! pseudo-disk method of booting (used for TK50s) can
$ ! be used. This allows the standalone backup floppy
$ ! to be removed (and potentially be replaced by a
$ ! floppy containing a saveset) while the backup is in
$ ! progress. Also, track the SYSBOOT change which
$ ! removes the need for B/20000 when booting from TK50s.
$ !
$ ! X-4 CWH0004 CW Hobbs 21-Feb-1986
$ ! Place an incorrect copy of DSDRIVER on the system-
$ ! specific root, so that it will not be possible to
$ ! boot standalone systems from a shadow set.
$ !
$ ! X-3 CWH0003 CW Hobbs 6-Feb-1986
$ ! Add pedestal support
$ !
$ ! X-2 CWH0002 CW Hobbs 11-Nov-1985
$ ! Use SET SYMBOL instead of DELETE /SYMBOL. Use some
$ ! dummy file for EOVMS.NUL for the TK50 kit.
$ !
$ ! X-1 CWH0001 CW Hobbs 30-Oct-1985
$ ! For console kits, make a four volume kit. Add preliminary
$ ! Nautilus support to the RX50 kit. Do not ask about a
$ ! bad block scan on 750 console TU58s. Give the option
$ ! of data checking -- done by hand because the 750 console TU58
$ ! does not reliably handle data checking in the driver, and the
$ ! RX0x do not support it at all. (As long as you have to do it
$ ! manually, do it for all devices -- even those which do support
$ ! driver level data checking.) Remove all MicroVAX tests, the
$ ! kitting procedure is driven by media type and presence of
$ ! files (CopyIF it exists).
$ !
$ ! V04-007 CWH4007 CW Hobbs 20-Sep-1985
$ ! For V4.3, reduce the number of headers so that TU58
$ ! kits will work.
$ !
$ ! V04-006 EMB0158 Ellen M. Batbouta 07-Aug-1985
$ ! Modify this command procedure to build an RX50 kit which
$ ! supports both 8200 and MicroVAX systems.
$ !
$ ! V04-005 DGB0121 Donald G. Blair 31-May-1985
$ ! Omit VMB.EXE from MicroVMS standalone backup kits.
$ !
$ ! V04-004 EMB0130 Ellen M. Batbouta 11-Mar-1985
$ ! Add Scorpio support.
$ !
$ ! V04-003 JJO0004 Jay Olson 27-Feb-1985
$ ! Add TK50 support and provide hooks for other devices
$ ! which will use the same pseudo-disk scheme.
$ !
$ ! V04-002 BJT0003 B Thomas 12-Feb-1985
$ ! Add MicroVAX II support. This requires reworking the
$ ! RX50 distribution scheme such that two floppies are used
$ ! for the system. Remove old 1 floppy code.
$ !
$ ! V04-001 CWH4001 CW Hobbs 16-Jan-1985
$ ! Make sure that the MEDIA_NAME symbol is set in a common path,
$ ! so that it is always valid. Change determination of console
$ ! device so that large console devices (e.g. the RL02 on the
$ ! VAX8600) are properly dismounted and remounted. Consistently
$ ! use international directory delimiters "<" and ">" in all
$ ! directory strings. If the target disk is currently mounted

Hi All:
The title says it all. I've installed VMS 5.2 from 4 RL02s and now the
installation procedure wants me to load the "mandatory update" volume.
Anyone have one kicking around? I'm not stuck on RL02 format, a TK50/70, 9
track, or
even an emailed copy would be fine!

Hi All:
I have acquired 4 RL02 packs with the VMS 5.2 distribution on them. The
first one boots into standalone backup (>>> B DLA0) but I need to know how
to start the installation procedure.
I have some very basic docs on standalone backup, but a simple
BACKUP DLA0: DUA0:
fails with a couple of "device not mounted" errors. There's apparently a
save set called VMS052.B on the first drive this filename is reported in
the two "device not mounted" errors. BACKUP DLA0:VMS052.B DUA0:
also fails as the /IMAGE qualifier is being assumed by the standalone
backup utility, and of course /IMAGE requires only a device name.
Any help appreciated!
Kevin

[Glances up at X-Listprocessor-Version: header..."8.1 beta". Hmmm]
Not exactly. Before version 8.1, if you only specified "subscribe
classiccmp" you would get an error message, and if you said "subscribe
classiccmp joe(a)foo.com" it would subscribe you at the address you sent the
request
from, and assume your real name was joe(a)foo.com. Depending on how the list
is set up, "subscribe classiccmp" will work on version 8.1 and later,
however, I'm pretty sure there still is no way to subscribe using an
address different from the one you are sending the request from.

No, Sam is correct. Here's an extract from the confirmation message I got when
I subscribed a while ago -- the message body was
SUBSCRIBE CLASSICCMP pete(a)dunnington.u-net.com
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
NAQ (Never Asked Questions) 0.1
How do I subscribe?
Subscribing to this list is slightly more challenging than
most. Read the instructions below.
1. Send a message to listproc(a)u.washington.edu with the line
subscribe CLASSICCMP your-address
in the body of the message.
2. Send a message to bill(a)booster.u.washington.edu introducing
yourself and explaining why you wish to be added to the list.

No it shouldn't. Listproc pulls the e-mail address from the header of the
subscription request, but it gets the subscribers name from the body.
"Your Name" should be your *real* name (eg. "Sam Ismail", "Scott
McLauchlan", "Bill Gates"). (Oh, and leave out the double quotes.)

no they aren't - they use a form of lempel-ziv compression, which is why
they tend to compress anything pretty well. they aren't much good on

He, he,...so they would do the same also with keyboards: They have been used

I have a chance to buy a box full of Radio Shack model 102 portable
computers. None have been tested and there are no power supplies with
them. Does anyone know what voltage and polarity the external power
connector uses? And if there is any kind of self-test built-in? Can anyone
give me an idea of what these are worth?

Stabackit will build a bootable version of standalone backup on the
target device. You can boot from the device and then restore backup
tapes to new disks.

Log in as SYSTEM, then....
$ SET DEF SYS$UPDATE
$ @STABACKIT
follow the prompts, give it the name of the disk or tape device where
you want the standalone built. BTW this only works for VAXes, not
Alphas.

My (just on topic) Sun 386i seems to have died. I could hear the hard
drive seeking continuously so I tried to login as root to shut it down and
it hung. I stopped it with L1 + A and then rebooted. part way through the
boot process it simply scrolled the following error message:
sd2a: read retry blk 6728 (abs blk 6728)
sense key (0x04): hardware error error code (0x09): servo error
[repeated 3 times]
sd2: rezero failed
Does this mean that the hard drive ( the standard CDC Wren IV 340Mb ) has
finally turned up its toes?
TIA
