Which version of 11M+ are you using? DSC became "unsupported" in recent. versions, the "supported" way of doing what you want is BRU. DSC isn't even included in the last few binary releases.

Reviving a MicroVAX II

by mmcfadden＠cmh.edu

To: David Williams et al I have two MicroVax II's in the deskside cabinets each with 3 drives. I'll check them out at home and report what's in them exactly. I know I have memory and the disks. I haven't opened them recently. If somebody wants them for shipping plus packing I'd gladly transfer them to you. I've got a Microvax 2000 to work with. Mike mmcfadden(a)cmh.edu

Do you need these exact HP drives? If it's a capacity issue, there's a very valuable technique called "mode page editing" that will let you adjust drive capacities downward so that you can use large-capacity recent-manufacture SCSI drives in place of older low-capacity SCSI drives. It's a very valuable technique when the hardware or OS don't support large-capacity drives, a very common situation with older hardware. Tim.

You have a manual set for a CDC-based Plato application? Or for one of the later incarnations of Plato (such as on the TI/99a)? -dq

Getting a Good Job(OT)(Long)

by mmcfadden＠cmh.edu

Here is my take on excessive work expectations. If that is the example you want to set for your children and expresses your values, i.e. your work is the most important thing in life and all else including family is peripheral, then you should work 80+ hours. However don't be surprised when your children have the same values and don't have time for you. If your company sees you as a resource to be consumed and then discarded for the newer/cheaper model then you may be in the right field. If you are single and want the challenge then work is like a drug, intoxicating for the knowledge and accomplishment. When you are married then perhaps life has other meanings, watching your children grow is exciting. I have been on both sides of this spectrum, when I was single the most excitement, all of my friends, my world revolved around work. When I got married and had children I realized that there was more to life and my values have changed. I'm not saying either lifestyle is the best, just works best for me. The hard part is the interaction between the hardcode work people and the hardcore humans, conflicting values. Mike mmcfadden(a)cmh.edu
