Bell & Howell on EPay

Some people on the list were declaiming how valueless the Bell and Howells and Apples in general were. Check out http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2044128294 At $400 with still time to go for the snipers, and in a slow market.

Microsoft vs Lindows

by mythtech＠mac.com

>Do you know of any rulings that said the owner of a trademark >shouldn't have had the right to it in the first place? 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 "idiot" market that doesn't realize it isn't MS Windows) -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

Old Sun Equipment Available

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.

Copying tapes on a VT103?

by celigne＠celigne.freeserve.co.uk

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 --endquote-- - Paul

LA34 Questions

by kentborg＠borg.org

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, -kb, the Kent who wonders whether it is time to run circuit boards through the dishwasher.

Seagate HD in an Equity II+

by klaassen＠ea1785.org

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. Michael Klaassen --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus]

>Does anyone have info regarding dipswitch settings on the cxy-08? 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.

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. -- Eric Dittman dittman(a)dittman.net Check out the DEC Enthusiasts Club at http://www.dittman.net/

I have put one up on ftp://ftp.groessler.org/pub/chris/olivetti_m20/misc/bios/m20rom It displays "Bootstrap Loader Rev. 1.0" when the machine is turned on. Do you have some M20 related software/information? I'm always interested in that... regards, chris

PDP 11/70, XXDP diagnostics & OT question

by quapla＠xs4all.nl

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.

PDP 11/70, XXDP diagnostics

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 :=( Thanks, Ed > ---------- > To unsubscribe (or subscribe) from (to) this list, send a message to > info-pdp11-request(a)village.org, with the first line of the message > body being "unsubscribe" or "subscribe", respectively (without the quotes). -- The Wanderer | Politici zijn gore oplichters. quapla(a)xs4all.nl | Europarlementariers: zakkenvullers http://www.groenenberg.net | en neuspeuteraars.

'Windowing' programs

by xds_sigma7＠hotmail.com

Well I've never run NeXTStep, and I hate UNIX with a passion. Of course, I have something like 10-15 or more UNIX boxes, but yanno.. heh.. Personally, I'd like to try NeXTStep, but not on a NeXT.

'Windowing' programs

by jpl15＠panix.com

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 John

DEC G848

by xds_sigma7＠hotmail.com

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?
