I remember something similar named 'pitfall' in which you descended
through a pit which varied in width, with targets all over the place
which you tried to hit without being hit, and without hitting the

Which monitor are you running? Also, what version? If running the RT11SJ or
RT11FB monitor, try RT11XM. Keep in mind that RT-11 is basically limited to
64k (IIRC), and has to do tricks to use more than that.

I don't know of any, but if I'm not mistaken, the first judge that has
seen this case specifically questioned if MS should have been granted a
trademark for such a common term.
Some case always has to be a first case... maybe they will get lucky and
this will be it (wouldn't that be great... the "Windows" trademark gets
revoked and a million fly by night companies pop up with 3rd rate OS
knock offs called Windows, all in the hopes of catching some of the

Hi
All of this about prior use may not help. Trademarks are different
than patents. There is also precedence that similar sounding
trade names with similar product can be considered a violation
of trademarks. ( McDonald's has won a few of these ). If they
had the name before M$ then they might have a case, otherwise,
I doubt they will get vary far. If the court feels that they
chose the name to sound alike, they will not win, regardless
of prior usage.
It is too bad, I'd like to see M$ take a hit on this one.
( Just my opinion and not a legal statement )

I have some old Sun Sparc systems that need to find a new home (preferably
not the dumpster in the parking lot). Is there any one here who might be
interested.
I have SparcStation 1's
I have SparcServer 330's
and even a Sun4/something that was in a 7' high rack and includes a
9 track tape drive (which worked quite well the last time I used it.)
A SparcPrinter (sometimes it has a problem picking up paper, but this
is usually just dirty rollers. I have a spare toner cartridge and
drum for this.)
All of this stuff is at the University of Scranton and would need to
be picked up. It's free, although I wouldn't turn down some PDP or
VAX trinkets (expcept async boards :-) in exchange.
Please reply directly to me.

Sorry, no suggestions for the fault you're seeing beyond what you're

condition. If you'd like me to examine some part of it or snap a

I could use a new print head for it, in case anybody's sitting on

I received a query today about how to copy one tape to another on a
Digital VT103. I've included the details from the original message
below. Does anyone know how to do this?
--quote--
We use a Digital VT103 unit to control one of our machines, the system
is fine for the application, but we only have one copy of the tape with
the boot program and application programs on.
The VT103 unit has two tape drives and I think you can copy from one to
the other it just a matter of knowing the correct commands, hence the
reason for this email. Therefore I would be most grateful for any
suggestions you could suggest for the commands required to copy from
drive 0 to drive 1, we have so far tried the following:
Note :- RT11FB.SYS = Boot program (I think)
i) COPY/BOOT RT11FB.SYS
TO: DD1
ii) COPY/SYS
FROM? DD0
TO? DD1
The second method kicks up the following: - PIP-F-FILE NOT FOUND

I recently came into a DEC LA34-AA, a.k.a., Decwriter IV (Thanks
Phil!), and have some questions.
I think I finally figured out how to load paper into the tractorfeed,
and the machine looks intact and in pretty good shape for a nearly 25
year old printer. The problem is that on powering on I get beeping
and the Power/Fault LEd blinks. The manual suggests that this is an
out of paper problem. Suggestions?
I have managed to dismantle the big parts of the printer, and I don't
see any obviously dirty switches or sensors.
Thanks,

Dear All,
I was wondering if anyone might have any suggestions on how to clean old

make a tape cleaning kit?

Listmembers -
I am desperate to get the data off the hard drive in my old Epson Equity
II+. The thing went dead on me last fall and I have spent the last 9 months
handing it round to various recovery people who can't figure out what to do
with it. The drive appears to be working properly, but the computer won't
boot even as far as the BIOS (I think). For a long time it prompted me for
the reference diskette, which I presume gave it information about what sort
of things it had, but it ceased to be able to read the floppy drive.
At this stage I am willing to try just about anything.

There are two switch packs. With the board facing you and
the Qbus connectors downwards, the lefthand switch pack
(10 switches) is E36 and the righthand one (8 switches)
is E28. They may even be labelled.
E36 switches 2->10 set A12->A04 for the address.
A21-A13 are all 1s (not settable).
A03-A00 are all 0s (not settable).
E36 switch 1 sets DHU mode (off) or DHV mode (switch on)
E28 switch 1 must be on
E28 switch 2 must be off
E28 switches 3-8 set the vector V08->V03
V15->V09 and V02->V00 are all 0s.
Standard settings are 17760440 and 300 (both in octal).

He tried to find someone to take it, for free, for several
months. Unfortunately he didn't have the room to store it
any longer. He didn't know about this list, but he does now,
and he's going to be joining in the next couple of days.
I don't doubt he couldn't find anyone. A couple of months ago
I posted about the HSCxx controllers and drives, and nobody
has wanted to go to pick them up. They'll end up getting
thrown out, too, if someone doesn't pick them up in the next
month.

Hello All,
Well, finally I have my 11/70 fully running. The last problem I had was
due to a
faulty cable (wire?) in one of the address cables going to the address
buffer of
the MOS box.
I can now boot XXDP from an RL02, but unfortunately, my overview of
executable
diagnostic routines is not covering the 11/70.
Is there someone who has the names of the diags I can execute to
validate the
machine?
I also tried to boot RT11 (5.05) but this does not come further than
doing a few
I/O's before the machne stops. I know it isn't supported, but if I'm not
misinformed,
it may run anyway?
Another question, more or less OT, is there someone who kan help me with
an
Texas Instruments adapter/charger for a TI-59 (red led, magnetic card
reader etc),
preferable 220V, but 110V will do too.
Thanks,
Ed

Nice info.
The problem with RSX was as Johnny Billquist already indentified due to a missing
LTC signal. This is solved by placing a jumper on the backplane to get the signal
on the bus when generated from the DL11-W. It is described in the FSE docs, so it
is just a matter of counting the pins and make the connection.
I have also executed some diagnostics, only cache test #2 fails partly, is mentions
a possible problem with the ADM. Besides that problem, the machine works fine.
So, I have now a nice running 11/70, and the only thing left to do is to
transport the RM03 one floor up into the machine room :=(

I'd like to try NeXTStep, but not on a NeXT.

Damn - I actually paused to think before I typed the Holy Protected Word
And All Its Homonyms, Antonyms, freakin lawyers - backed by Billy's
Billions... maybe DOJ will point Ashcroft at them...
Anyway, I used to use a program for very early DOS machines called
Software Carousel, which basically freeze-dried up to 12 snapshots of the
current TPA and chunked them onto the HD... and assigned each frozen
session to a PF key. So you could switch back and forth between tasks
easily.
Obviously the 'frozen' tasks were just that: there was no backround
processing, they remained suspended until that particular task was brought
back into working memory from the HD.
Cheers

Got this on a Mac swap list. Since there is mention of more than Macs, I
didn't know if anyone in his area might be interested.
Reply to them, not me.

I'm losing my storage space and need to dispose of a LARGE collection of
early computers and related items, mostly Apple and early Mac. There are
some Kaypros,Amigas,Commodores,Sinclairs,PETs etc. as well as
printers,external drives,cableing,software and books. Compacts from Mac
128 to SE 30, Apple lls, Mac lls some LCs. I don't have a complete
inventory and I really don't want to pick through it for individual
items. There is enough stuff to pack a 14' UHaul solid. Best offer, you
move,located in Hot Springs Arkansas. Great deal for a collector or MUG
that wants to start a museum.
Thanks,
Bill Clemons
PS
99% of this stuff works.

Hi all,
I was given a G848 the other day, and I need some information about what
components are supposed to be on it, so that I can replace the parts that my
friend had cannablized from it. The one I have is a G848L revision, so the
prints of the G848 in the TU56 printset didn't help, as they are for a
G848K.. Basically, either the prints or a a good quality picture would
work.. Also, is this board still used with the TU56? Or is it for something
else?

That would be the ultimate in poetic justice!!!
