bootable rt11 tape

by ajp166＠bellatlantic.net

Same way you would for floppy only slower. I'd make a bootable floppy first and put the DU/MU drivers on it plus anything else you need as RX50 is has enough room for a useable system. Then I think, you need DUP and BUP on there. I have the capability but I backup to RL02 as it's much faster. Also that RD54 (159mb) will likely be partitioned into 5 drives as RT-11 can only address up to 32mb disks.

classiccmp list & archives info

by west＠tseinc.com

We spent a lot of time testing the classiccmp mailing list - couldn't find a single problem. There were one or two people who said they were getting the digests twice, but they never gave me details. The only thing I can think of, is that they were having problems with their pop mail session to their ISP? If you start to download your mailbox of say 50 messages, and the connection is lost (not the internet connection, but the pop session), the server will re-transmit the entire batch so you'll keep getting those messages over again until a complete sucessful download occurs - then it will mark them as deleted on the server end. Again, this would be an issue with the ISP, not us. If anyone still has problems or can supply further details, please let me know. Several bugs were found in the list archives at www.classiccmp.org and these have all been fixed to the best of my knowledge. If anyone sees anything further, please let me know asap.

available at surplus store

by west＠tseinc.com

Browsing the surplus stores today - came across three things I don't have any interest in... maybe someone does - if so, email me. Calcomp 1034 (Or was it 1038?) plotter. This thing is BIG. Appears to be in good cosmetic shape, have no idea if it works or not. AT&T PC 6300 Something called an AT&T 6386 (or something like that) WGS. Noticed a few recent posts on the list about this machine too. Jay West

The 9000/500 may have been a commercial failure, but HP learned a lot >from it -- its I/O bus (later known as CIO I think) was adopted by the PA-RISC 9000/800 (and 3000/900) machines. I expect this meant the machines had trade-in value for their I/O cards (as well as the gold and copper in the CPU, IOP, and memory cards, which are all surprisingly heavy from the copper core and shiny from the characteristic HP gold plating). The packaging is interesting, especially on the CPU/IOP/memory cards: the boards don't have sockets for the ICs. Instead, there is a cavity in the non-conductive board material, exposing the copper sheet at the core of the board. The IC substrate is bound to this copper core, and its bond-out wires are soldered to the traces on the board. Then a lid is fitted over the cavity(ies) to protect the ICs and bond-out wires. This was done to carry heat away from the ICs, which ran from a 16MHz clock and did a pretty good job of turning electricity into heat. It was also HP's first entry into the Unix market. The 520 could also be a BASIC workstation (a high-powered multiprocessor replacement for the 9845!) but I have not seen any configured that way. It was also HP's last big stack machine, or at least the last one that made it to market. (Maybe Lee Courtney can tell us more about Vision.) HP contracted with The Wollongong Group to provide TCP/IP transport and application software for HP-UX v5 on these in the mid-to-late 1980s. I started working at TWG in 1989, by which time engineering support for the product was over, and soon found that from their point of view, 9000s and 3000s were all the same and so I got to support that product as well. That was my first introduction to it. Then I found the FOCUS machine instruction set manual in TWG's library. Oh my. It's a 32-bit stack machine, sort of a big 3000. Oh my. Then I got to investigating a remsh crash that took me deep into the kernel. That was how I became a TCP/IP stack internals kind of guy. My memories are dim and distant (TWG ended support for the 9000/500s in early 1994 I think, due to no sales and no contract renewals), but most of the customers I talked to were either US military or contractors. Its Unix port has some oddities. It was ported on top of another HP OS called SUNOS that provided low-level generic services to both BASIC and HP-UX, and the AT&T filesystem was layered on top of an HP filesystem structure called Structured Directory Format or SDF. SDF makes itself visible by the absence of . and .. in directories -- ls and open() will fake them as needed, but if your code opens the directory and reads it they aren't there! I don't think it has the concept of partitioning a disc into multiple filesystems: one disc volume is one filesystem, no way around it. Swap space is taken as needed from whatever free space is available on at least the / volume, maybe others too. Strange but nice in its own way. -Frank McConnell

HP 9000 520

by mmcfadden＠cmh.edu

Our hospital now considers any computers less than 300 MHz as "old" and needing to be replaced. Most of our software venders now say that anything less than that is not acceptable for their applications, most also want 64 Mb of memory. Our department still uses 486/33's and WordPerfect 5.1 for word processing and they are very reliable. mike mmcfadden(a)cmh.edu >From: Dave McGuire <mcguire(a)neurotica.com> >Subject: Re: HP 9000 520 > > I've been noticing a very disturbing trend...anything that isn't an >overclocked Intel box is "old" or "legacy". > > For those of us who care about the quality of what we put on our >desktops (and in our computer rooms), this is pretty frightening. > > -Dave McGuire

A load of laptops

by lgwalker＠look.ca

I was in a local electronic surplus store today and bought some old laptops at what I consider a good price. 2 Grid 1520s, a Grid 1755, a Commodore C386SX, a DEC PCP11, and an External SCSI HD for $75 All lacking power supplies tho. I had power packs for the 1520s and they're both working but one has the same problem that Mike Ford has with his Grids- password protected. It's now sitting unassembled on my work table while I search for the battery to see if shorting or removing that will get rid of the P-W. While I have programs to zap the Award and AMI BIOS' ,unfortunately this is a Phoenix. The Grids all have a socket also for a 16v transformer and it appears to be the same as the DECs 15v so I am looking for either a Grid or DEC transformer. The Commodore has an 8pin mini socket for power and a 16v battery. In examining the 1755 and DEC closer I see that they are identical except for color. Who would have made these for Grid and DEC ? Kyocera ? larry Reply to: lgwalker(a)look.ca

Free PC handbook

I don't know what happens when the registration gets filled out without a VIP code, but its a nice free book if it works. http://www.advantechdirect.com My VIP code is NCE011IAG20011B42584 which looks like it is just my code, but if it is its not smart enough to already know who I was.

Qbus board id?

by cmcmanis＠tutsys.com

Does anyone know what a Kinetic Systems Corp model D1391 dual wide Q-bus board is? It has two 40 pin connectors, they look kind of like the M3107 (8 port async) but they connect to resistor packs so I'm thinking either a parallel port or bus extender. There are several DS8833 chips (Nat'l Semi) and what looks like a CSR switch pack. An M7951 clone perhaps? --Chuck

VT340 focus adjustment?

by cmcmanis＠mcmanis.com

Hello all, I've got a VT340 that is very fuzzy. (blurry) I'd like to try and refocus it but I don't have the maintenance manual for this terminal. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to start (well I'm going to start by seeing if the yoke has slipped backward on the tube neck, but other than that) --Chuck

Ever take a MicroVax through the car wash??

by xds_sigma7＠hotmail.com

Umm, this story is also something around 20 or more years old, too, based in my recollection in the universal jfvts (Jennings Family Vehicle Time Scale). We had our Volkswagon Quantum then, meaning I was at most 14 or so, and the story was old already, I think I happened in the mid-80's...

However, if he means that an external box had 2 x 50-pin connectors, it could be SCSI; they usually have two sockets so you can daisy-chain them, or plug in a terminator on the last box. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager Dept. of Computer Science University of York

CDP-1802s update

by ewy＠southwind.net

Ok, the reservation list now consists of: Dave McGuire Alex Knight Pete Turnbull Ethan Dicks Mike Haas Robert Cobbins Tony Eros Mike Cheponis Chandra Baipai Richard Cini I now have about 50 parts spoken for, which leaves about 7. A couple people have asked for 10 chips, and if there's still demand after I run out I might ask them if they'd be satisfied with fewer so more people can get some. I sorted all the parts and it turns out that five of them are 1802CE and the rest are BCE. Does anybody know the difference? My databook doesn't cover the BCE. Some people have asked for some CE and some BCE parts and it would be nice to know how to divide them up fairly (and whether or not I would want to keep any of the CEs for myself :) I probably won't get around to dividing them up and packaging them till some time early next week. At that point, I'll get back in touch with everybody on the list to confirm and work out the shipping and payment details. JCE -- Joel Ewy spamthis_ewy(a)southwind.net http://www2.southwind.net/~ewy

ADB bus and S-video

by lgwalker＠look.ca

In fooling with my Mac PM7100av and AudioVision monitor I noticed that the Apple ADB connector and the standard s-video connector are the same. Any data on this ? And does it mean that a cheap s-video cable could be used in place of relatively expensive(Apple like IBM ain't cheap) ADB cables ? larry Reply to: lgwalker(a)look.ca

CDP-1802 Bonanza

by ewy＠southwind.net

Here's the list of people who've contacted me so far requesting CDP-1802s from my stash (in order received): Dave McGuire Alex Knight Pete Turnbull Ethan Dicks Mike Haas for a total of 24 parts. I hope I haven't missed anybody. I think I'll keep about 5 of the original 62. So there would be about 33 still unspoken for. I couldn't stand it anymore yesterday afternoon, and went to my folks' place to dig them out and ended up hauling home a ton of old computer junk that I already don't have room for in my basement. But my dad, being as much of a pack rat as I am, was glad to have more space for his antique engines. It turns out that I didn't "RC", and they're in the plastic package instead of ceramic. Most of them are CDP-1802BCE, but some are CDP-1802CE. I'm sure there's some joke in there about how old these things are, but I'll leave the actual punch line as an exercise for the reader. I rediscovered an RCA databook that I found some time after the original haul, and have almost forgotten about already, that has info on the whole CDP-18XX range, plus some development systems, including the COSMAC Microboard Computer Systems. I haven't looked too closely, but >from a cursory glance, it would appear that it has complete schematics for all kinds of boards for this system, from the CPU board to RAM, ROM, battery-backed RAM, UART, display, D/A, and so on. It truly inspires awe. Anyway, the CDP-1802CE is listed, but the BCE isn't. The 1802CE is for temperatures ranging from -40 - +85 deg. C. The 'C' suffix (infix?) has a "recommended voltage range" of 4-6.5 volts. The 1802 ranges from 4-10.5 volts. The 'E' suffix specifies the plastic case, while 'D' would be ceramic. But I can't tell from the documentation I have what the 'B' infix would do to it. Tonight I'll sort them into BCE and CE and post exactly how many of each I have. -- Joel Ewy butcherspam_ewy(a)southwind.net http://www2.southwind.net/~ewy

E11 & RT11v02

by mbg＠world.std.com

So you actually have a distribution of RT V02? I'd like to get a copy from you for my archives. Anyway, maybe what we need is a copy of the boot blocks for various devices so that they can simply be layed down in the disk image (using a very simple program) on block 0. Actually, I think it might be a little difficult with a version of RT that old, simply because the split between the monitor and the device drivers had not yet been made, so you had to build a monitor which included the devices you wanted it to have, and built to boot using a specific handler. This was back in the days of DXMNFB and RKMNFB which were the monitors for RT-11 FB on an RX01 and RT-11 FB on an RK05, respectively. Megan

E11 & RT11v02

by oliv555＠arrl.net

ok, slightly OT. Transferring the os was a snap since the emulator will read my 11/83's RX33s directly. But since RT11v02 does not recognize the rx33 I could only transfer the files and have not been able to bootstrap the emulated rk05. putr.com's boot command seems to work only with post-version2 os's, and the e11 docs don't seem to cover this. Perhaps e11 wont do ver 2? I suppose I could try to locate a 8" drive to strap onto the pc (to boot one of my rx01s) This is my first try with e11 so don't know all the ins-outs yet. Anyone tried rt-v02 on this emulator? Any hints would be appreciated thanks..... nick

Ever take a MicroVax through the car wash??

I believe it was a pretty noisy operation, though! Richard mentioned that Winchester primers come in a flat plastic block; CCI ones come in a small subdivided tray, about half the size of the Winchester one. They're not individually compartmentalised like the Winchester ones and tend to fall out rather easily. Mick had already dropped most of them on the floor once, and picked them all up by hand. When he did it a second time he just decided that the vacuum cleaner provided an easier solution. For those who've not seen them, a tray of primers is about 2" square, and holds 100 small round objects, 0.17" in diameter. > Reminds me of my > mom's friend's mother, who quit vacuuming forever after she mistakenly > vacuumed up a bullet.. scratch one vacuum cleaner!

I always thought it was > developed to distribute software via BBS's (and other electonic > means). ObAOL: Me Too. Seriously, I thought the idea was to be able to copy a diskette to an image file that could be transferred via other means and then copied back to a diskette for use at the receiving end. The image file was mostly opaque to the user(s). I'm not sure how this helps the Treasury Department, unless they're using it to ship evidence-diskette images back to an FBI agent in the J. Edgar Hoover building who knows how to work the FBI's one copy of XenoCopy to go trawling through the reconstitued diskette for files. I have dim memories from Lasnerian times of netnews articles posted by and in response to people trying to exchange RX50 images via Teledisk; the observation made was that doing this required certain versions of Teledisk and/or certain types of floppy drives. And I think that all this angst is amusing in light of today's "Rhymes With Orange" comic strip. If you want to see the strip in your gooey webulator, wait two weeks, it'll be up at <http://www.rhymeswithorange.com/>. Those of us who get it with our newspaper's comics page can have immediate gratification. Oh, all right, I'll spoil it. The punch line is "Except for computers, which no longer read floppy disks." Perhaps the author is one of those people who thinks "computer" means "Macintosh, late model". -Frank McConnell

Synchronized oscillation (was re: IBM ScanMaster)

by Robert_Feldman＠jdedwards.com

I just ran across a reference to synchronized pendula in the latest "Wired" magazine (March 2001, p. 58). I did a search for the work the article mentions, which lead to the following site: http://www.gtalumni.org/news/magazine/spr97/rhythms.html. The following is >from this site: "The phenomenon was described in 1665 by the Dutch physicist Christiaan Huygens, who placed two pendulum clocks side by side on a wall. Within a short time, the pendulums were swinging in perfect synchrony. He altered the movement of one pendulum, but within a half hour the swinging weights had regained synchrony. When one of the clocks was moved to another wall, they gradually fell out of step." Robert A. Feldman Robert_Feldman(a)jdedwards.com

Robert, Thanks for your comments but I don't think the problem is the disks. I've also tried Tektronix 8160 disks, Osborne 1 and Osborne Executive disks, Morrow disks and some others and I get the same results with all of them. The only disks that I've ever been able to archive are MS-DOS disks!

What a Scanmaster is!

by xds_sigma7＠hotmail.com

OK, here's the scoop on the original Scanmaster, not some lame-o PC-attached crud... 8815 SCANMASTER I - WITHDRAWN (NO LONGER AVAILABLE) PURPOSE o For capturing and transmitting noncoded documents to an 4300, S/370, 303X, or 308X system. o For capturing and transmitting noncoded documents directly to another Scanmaster I. o For printing noncoded documents. o For printing formatted text documents. The Scanmaster I is an SNA/SDLC device designed for system-attached operation and terminal-to-terminal operation. It attaches to 4300, S/370, 303X, and 308X processors over switched or nonswitched communication facilities at speeds up to 9600 bps. It will communicate directly with another remote Scanmaster I over a public switched telephone network or private switched or non-switched voice facilities at speeds up to 9600 bps. I got that from the IBM sales manual... I'd love to have one too..

PDP-11 BBS

by broth＠heathers.stdio.com

I am looking for some ideas for putting one of my DEC machines on the net. I used to run a Unix bbs years ago on a 386 running Xenix and XBBS and really enjoyed it a lot. I noticed that the source is still around for that program on the net. This is what I have: 11/23+ running RT-11. I have the TCP-IP package for it and I beleive I have everything I need to make it work. 11/53 running RSX but I can probably coax BSD on it without a problem. VAXstation II running VAX/VMS 4.4 but I also have netBSD for it. I know nothing about VMS. I want to make these machines available but at the same time I want to batten down the hatches so they are not wide open for troublemakers. I personally would like to put the 11/23+ on the net. If I could make that work, then it would be easy to duplicate it on my 11/34 and put that on the net. These would be running behind my IP masq'ed Linux router. I could port forward Telnet and FTP services. Maybe even HTTP if I could get that working on the RT-11 box. Right now thats going to my current web server. Any ideas? Brian.

First: Joe, I've forwarded the description you E-mailed me to both Sydex and Forensics Intl. And that leads into the second part: F-I is perfectly willing to pick up support for those involved in the group buy. The fact that we were legacy customers of Sydex is what did it. So, everyone who bought Teledisk can start breathing again. We're still supported. Joe, I'll forward whatever answer I get back to you. It is also possible that F-I support may open a dialogue directly with you. I did offer them that option, and I gave them your E-address.

Fibreglass doesn't melt easily :-) I've put quite a few PCBs through our dishwasher (well it's "ours" when I want to clean PCBs, and my wife's when it's dinner plates). It's amazing how many useful pieces of equipment are disguised as domestic appliances: the machine for cleaning keyboard keycaps and shell cases does an excellent job of washing clothes, while the tumbling machine for drying them off also works for socks and shirts. The device in the kitchen for baking small spray-painted articles can be used for pizza and muffins. And so on... -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager Dept. of Computer Science University of York

For Sale: PDP-8/i w/ Paper Tape

by aw288＠osfn.org

Due to my computing interests becoming very much centered in the IBM world, and also due to 2 tons of Big Blue stuff coming shortly, I have decided to sell off a PDP-8/i. I promised the original seller that I would not Ebay the thing, so I am keeping it to only a few lists. The machine looks like an 8K PDP-8/i, with a highspeed paper tape reader/puch (PCmumblefoo). It looks complete, although I have not checked it 100 percent. Certainly the hard-to-find parts are there (namely the panel and the two core stacks). The rack is not original, and frankly, is ugly. The power supply seems very kludged in (although it looks DEC). This ain't a plug and play 'puter, folks. It needs a cleanup and a tune up. I have a doc set (not included, but I can copy (have to copy one for Will, anyway). Send me an offer if interested. I am located in New York, near Connecticut. No shipping on this item - either you pick up, or I deliver within a few hundred miles (Boston, Washington, maybe Cleveland or even Chicago) for my expenses.
