When I received my model 33 it came with a UCC82 Call Control Unit as an extra in the deal. http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a166/ballsandy/Computer%20related/teletype /CGS_0127.jpg (Photo of the CCU) It doesn't seem to do much on its own (makes the teletype print null characters uncontrollably when you plug the system in) and I can't find any information on what it did however just looking at it and a small note from google says it was used for putting a phone line on and off the hook and dialing. The row of buttons at the bottom controlled a Bell 101 or 103 DataPhone which you hid away in the stand. I've been searching up info on the 101 and I can't find a whole lot of anything short of it was one of the first modems, it was 110 baud and it had a D-sub 25 port that you connected it a computer/terminal with. They also seem to be about impossible to find. I have modems that cat run at 110 baud however god knows if the D-sub serial port on the back of them are the same and even if they were I have no idea how it would of connected to the teletype. Does anybody have more information?

VAX standalone backup: how to list it?

by shadoooo＠gmail.com

Hello. Maybe stupid question but I'm a newby of VMS. I have a VS2000 with a Micropolis RD53 inside. I recently repaired the hard disk, and from some tests it seems to have no errors, so its content is safe. I tried to boot the machine from it, and it turns to contain a standalone backup. I would try to list the content of the disk, but from manuals I understand I would need to know the file names. How to identify the content of this disk? Thanks Andrea

Toshiba CD-1000C Cartridge Tape Drive

by mark.darvill＠me.com

Has anyone come across one of these before and more importantly (to me!) has anyone any data sheets or a manual on the tape drive. The drive has a Toshiba label on it saying "Cartridge Tape Drive MTH 0551 F001 Model No. CD-1000C" and has a direct drive capstan. It looks like a 1/2" Cartridge Drive and it was used on the Data General Desktop Generation E6270 drive. I can find no mention of it on the internet so far! Thanks, Mark

Rack mounting BA23 in a H960

by pontus＠update.uu.se

Hi I have several BA11 and BA23 boxes that I would like to mount in a H960 rack. I have two contemporary black "drawers", but for the rest I was thinking some kind of shelf. It turns out these are somewhat expensive: http://www.starcase.com/images/shelf30_350.jpg http://www.cabletiesandmore.com/images/kendall-howard-rack-shelves/2U-4-Poi… http://www.edit5consoles.com/images/ru13_shelf.jpg There are also L-shaped rails that you put on either side: http://www.importgrossisten.se/8098-large/toten-l-stodskenor-2-pack-550mm-f… They are also quite pricy so I'm thinking I could make some of those myself. What do you guys use? I'm open to suggestions, preferably things that fit nicely in a H960, but really anything you use to prop up your retro hardware. Regards, Pontus.

Compaq SLT/286

by aw288＠osfn.org

Like the Sanyo just yesterday, I have a Compaq SLT/286 portable computer taking up space. Very nice condition, with power unit, dock, and bag. Any interest CHEAP? I am located in New York, zip 10512. Unlike the Sanyo, if there is no interest, I suppose I will just chop this up. I am desperately trying to clear out a bedroom to work on it - the bedroom that ends up being the junk overflow containment chamber. It would actually be nice to sleep in it sometime.

XT-IDE V2 PCBs available

by LYNCHAJ＠YAHOO.COM

Hi! There are some XT-IDE V2 PCBs available if anyone would like some. They will cost the same as before ($12 each). However due to unforeseen extreme price increases in shipping by USPS I am forced to change shipping costs. Shipping in the US will be $3 for a single PCB and $2 for each additional PCB. Shipping internationally will be $10 for a single PCB and $3 for each additional PCB. This is for the bare basics USPS first class postage with no tracking or insurance. The builder assumes all risk of delivery as per usual arrangement. I apologize for the large price increase on shipping but this is out of my hands. The USPS is in dire financial trouble and is raising prices on shipping. It affects us all and is most unfortunate. These boards are provided "at cost" so there is no margin to absorb any shipping price increases. I have to pass them along. If you would like one or more XT-IDE V2 PCBs please send a PayPal to LYNCHAJ at YAHOO.COM http://www.vintage-computer.com/vcforum/showwiki.php?title=XTIDE+Rev2 There are about 10 XT-IDE V2 PCBs left. Thanks and have a nice day! Andrew Lynch

Suggestions Appreciated for a Program Counter History Log

by jhfinedp3k＠compsys.to

I know of only one example of a debugger which supports a Program Counter History Log. I am in the process of adding a Program Counter History Log to the System Debugger in RT-11 on a PDP-11. I would appreciate a few suggestions from anyone who has any experience with a debugger program which supports Program Counter History Logging. For users who are not familiar with PDP-11 hardware, the primary interface is a serial terminal, usually with 9600 baud these days (don't laugh - I first started on a PDP-11 around 1975 over a 300 baud modem), with a screen of 24 lines by 80 columns. There are a probably a VERY, VERY few systems which use VT420 terminals which can support 48 lines, but which are probably rarely, if ever used with other than 24 lines by 80 columns. From my point of view, the primary considerations are the lack of both speed (9600 baud takes seconds to fill a full screen) and available screen space to display more than about 200 addresses from the History Log Buffer (at 10 addresses per line). While I normally use the Ersatz-11 Emulator for the PDP-11 which provides me the possibility of using screens of 50 lines, I suspect that I am presently the ONLY person to interact with RT-11 using a screen of this many lines, let alone the speed of the screen which is so fast that the time between SCROLL and NOSCROLL is usually a dozen lines of output to the screen. At 9600 baud, the SCROLL vs NOSCROLL time delay is only a few dozen characters at most, certainly less than one line of output to the screen in almost all cases. The only experience I have with a debugger which has a History Log is with a 64 word buffer of addresses for the 64 immediately previous instructions. While this is often sufficient to at least pinpoint the general location of where the program stopped, it was often insufficient to locate where the problem started. For those who have direct PDP-11 experience, the following information might also be useful. At present, there are two buffers which can be displayed: (a) A buffer with 40 of the last interrupt entries to SD: which are composed of 5 words each: - Program Counter Address from the Stack - Program Status Word from the Stack - Word (instruction?) at that Address - Word (instruction?) at the Previous Address - Control Word which is used by SD: (PROSNG) (b) A buffer with the last 1000 Addresses of the last 1000 instructions that have been executed The current logic in the code to save each instruction address in the 1000 word buffer ONCE and ONLY once uses all five of the above values. There seems no point in displaying all 1000 addresses since only about 200 can stay on the screen and it takes too long in any case. However, just how useful are the past 1000 addresses as an aid in debugging? Since it takes no additional time for a larger circular buffer over a smaller circular buffer (in fact maybe a larger buffer is insignificantly faster) and there is memory available, I opted for the largest buffer that was reasonable The other buffer with the 5 word entries entries for the last 40 interrupts will be used when there are any questions about the exact details of any interrupt with respect to a user having set a Breakpoint or any other logic errors in the debugger in general and specifically when adding addresses to the 1000 word history log. NOW finally, here are my questions. Are there any suggestions as to how many previous instructions are needed to usually be helpful to have a log for when a program has a problem? Also, would it be useful to have the first word (two bytes) of the instruction as well as the address in order to identify the actual instruction or is the address almost always sufficient? On the PDP-11 with instructions being 1, 2 or 3 words, it is totally unlikely that having the addresses of the previous instructions would ever allow a user to confuse which code was previously executed unless two variants of almost identical code had been purposely constructed so as to confuse the user. This could occur when two overlays use the same addresses to execute that code, but it is almost impossible to happen by chance and even it it did, an extra NOP could simply shift the code for one of the variants so as to avoid the confusion.

Jerome, hopefully you'll get much better-qualified answers than mine; I have little to no experience programming assembly or PDP-11. That said, I can think of a few possible answers: 1) enough instructions that any timing-critical loop will be captured when an external interrupt dropping into the debugger is generated. This might be relatively short - 200 instructions or so? User (not necessarily programmer?) would set up and start a long calculation (mandelbrot set, whatever) and then hit "break", and be able to look back far enough to verify that the correct sequence of instructions is repeating over and over. For actual number, maybe look at the longest loop in RT-11 that repeats many times successively? 2) enough instructions that any timing-critical *subroutine" will be captured when dropping into the debugger. This would be a *lot* more, depending on application. In this case, the programmer would add a break point to the code right after the timing-critical routine (disk access, real-time control interrupt service routine, whatever) and then look back at the buffer to verify that the whole routine took the correct execution path. For disk access, that might be a *lot* of loops, though, so maybe you are only capable of writing a buffer to hold the last few iterations? For actual number, look at the longest single executable code unit in RT-11? 3) Configurable depth, configured at launch time for debugger Programmer gets to make the trade between debugger buffer depth and available memory for his program. Not sure any of this is helpful, and you probably have thought of it anyway. -- - Mark 210-379-4635 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Large Asteroids headed toward planets inhabited by beings that don't have technology adequate to stop them: Think of it as Evolution in Fast-Forward.

PDP 8/L front panel "major states" question

by derschjo＠gmail.com

After a couple of evenings spent tracking down a core memory problem, I now have myPDP-8/L running (haven't yettested everything but it's been looking good so far.) There are four bulbs out on the front panel which I have some spares for, but while going through the replacement I noticed that only one ("CA") of the six "Major States"bulbs is actually installed (therearen't even sockets present for the other 5, doesn't look like they were ever present). Is this typicalfor the 8/L? I may install sockets for the other 5, because I'm pretty sure that more lights = better computer... - Josh

Some fun history after I STFA

by jon＠jonworld.com

As some of you know, I have two smaller children, ages six and seven. I decided it was family movie night and busted out a copy of "Flight of the Navigator." ... this is a Disney-produced sci-fi flick from 1986 and includes some interesting CGI (from 1984-1985 if you think about it.) So with the kids entrenched by the plot, I broke out the google and began to search and try to find out "how did they do the cgi for Flight of the Navigator?" I found the following, which answered my question. http://dave.zfx.com/omnibus.html && http://dave.zfx.com/nav.html The F1 sounds like a very interesting setup. -- -Jon Jonathan Katz, Indianapolis, IN.

I have tried replacing the cabinet kit (this is the same machine where I have been having the cabinet kit problems), the AUI converter, the patch cable, the DEQNA with another DEQNA and also with a DELQA. The result is always the same. I am not sure what the problem might be. I suppose it could still be something at the network level. It might perhaps be the CPU board, but if it gets that far into the boot sequence (already prompted for date and time) this seems unlikely. Any suggestions? Regards Rob

DEQNA/DELQA cabinet kit fault mystery

by robert.jarratt＠ntlworld.com

I have a DEQNA cabinet kit that does not work. I know this because if I replace it with another one the activity light on the switch works and I am able to see MOP requests coming from the machine to my boot node, with the faulty one none of this happens. Now, I have tested the fuse and I have tested the connectivity of every wire >from the internal connector that connects to the DEQNA board (also tried with a DELQA by the way) to the AUI connector on the outside of the cabinet kit. Everything seems to be OK. But it doesn't work. I have tried "jiggling" the wires a bit while testing the continuity of the wires, but it still seems OK. What other failures could there be?

Circumvent EFI's SecureBoot

by b4＠gewt.net

Evening all, I?ve been thinking (I don?t actually have a secureboot-capable device nor have I read the spec) about one would theoretically circumvent it. I was initially thinking of it in terms of how TSX as booted on the PDP-11 (starting at RT-11, loading TSX as ash application and having it replace RT-11). That approach has some flaws, however: 1). In the case of WinRT, user mode apps wouldn?t have the privileges to replace WinRT?s memory. 2). Kernel modules providing a shim would need to be signed else they wouldn?t load. 3). You couldn?t modify a driver without the checksum matching. Which brings me to this: Does SecureBoot actually check if the checksum matches, or just the public and private key? Alternatively, how securely is the key stored? Would it be possible to retrieve the key from memory? If that?s doable, it would be easier to implement this. Are there any steps in the modern NT boot procedure I?m forgetting that would let you inject a ?boot loader? to ?jump? to either windows or Another OS that would circumvent SecureBoot? Thoughts/comments greatly appreciated!.

MPE/ix media

by vcomp99＠gmail.com

(repost from comp.sys.hp.mpe) Hi All As I can't get any response from HP, I've decided to give this group a try... With a group of a system programmers, we're working on free, open source 3k emulator, based on QEMU (and it's binary translator), with the goal to get a fully functioning rp7400/N4K environment. As for now, we have it working with HP-UX 11i, but our main goal is to get MPE/iX up and running on it... So, my question is - is someone on this group able to provide us with a MPE/iX installation media images? I know it's a gray land, but as I can't get any response from HP (even after they announced their HP3k simulator programme), I'm willing to risk and try to run our simulator with 'unauthorized' copy of the OS, just to check if it's working... Thank you for your help, Piotr

It is the S-100 Parallel IO board which provides four input parallel ports, four output parallel ports, and a PC compatible Centronics port. It has debugging LEDs and other features to help get your S-100 system working in top shape. The board is designed to be reliable and easy to assemble.? The schematic and PCB layout files are on the N8VEM wiki here http://n8vem-sbc.pbworks.com/w/browse/#view=ViewFolder&param=S-100%20Paralle lIO There is an article on S100computers.com here which describes the prototype board. http://www.s100computers.com/My%20System%20Pages/Parallel%20Ports%20IO%20Boa rd/Parallel%20Ports%20IO%20Board.htm The PCBs will be $20 each as per the usual arrangement.? Shipping in the US is $3 for a single PCB and $2 for each additional PCB.? Shipping internationally is $10 for a single PCB and $3 for each additional PCB.? This is for the bare basics USPS first class postage with no tracking or insurance.? The builder assumes all risk of delivery as per usual arrangement. Please send a PayPal to LYNCHAJ at YAHOO.COM with ?S-100 Parallel IO board? to reserve your board.? I will place the PCB manufacturing order as soon as I get to 20 units and will get a few extras for those who come later. Thanks and have a nice day! Andrew Lynch

All the rotary encoders on HP instruments from the late '70s thru the late '80s used +5V, grain-of-wheat bulbs. I have yet to see a led used in any of the 15 - 20 encoders that I've repaired to date. ->CRC

Anyone need an Intel 8035? (MCS-48)

by b4＠gewt.net

Evening all, I recently parted out an old electric organ which had a too-far-gone electrical system for me to repair it. I now have some spare micro controllers and misc. ICs I have no idea what to do with. Anyone need an Intel 8035 or have any ideas what I could do with one? I?d know what I?d do if ti were z80 compatible, but it unfortunately is no.
