Hello All,
When I create an empty RM03 under Bob's emulator witht the badblock
option and then mount it under RSX, it complains, telling me that
it is an alignment pack! Is there a way to get around this problem?
Using FMT does not help either, a similar message is returned.
When using RT-11, INI doesn't do anything, it just hangs.
Thanks,
Ed

John Wilson asked:
>With what driver?
Pre-V5.5 versions of RT-11 come with the "DP:" driver, but this
doesn't do RM03's, just RP02's and RP03's. It wouldn't suprise
me if it got confused when you hooked a RM03 (real or emulated)
to a system and tried to access it with the "DP:" driver, but
that's "operator error".
There are several DECUS-distributed RM03 device drivers for RT-11,
and there were also a couple of commercial ones sold by third parties
in the 1980's. The most likely DECUS driver is library entry 11-517,
"System Device Handler For RM02, RM03, RP04, RP05, RP06 and RT-11 V4".

I always bid using a high-powered rifle w/telescopic sight.

I guess that's probably an unfair remark, but someone
who lurked on that auction until I went to sleep last
night beat me by a dollar. I knew that could happen
but I was hoping it wouldn't. Thus go the perils of
bidding at auctions.
So, I want to thank everyone for the very useful
suggestions on transporting the unit. It would
eventually have been fun to play with, even though
my interest in DEC is pretty much limited to the
DEC-10, and since DEC had enough trouble keeping
them running, no way I'd try if I could even find
one.
Speaking of the DEC-10, Paul Allen was going to
put a TOAD online running TOPS-10; does anyone
know if that ever came about?

Well, it sounds like somebody is keeping the electricity
turned on... Gee, I was going to offer Paul my copy of
the DEC-10 Commands Manual (this is the heavier paper
version, not the "phone book" styled pub) for perpetual
access. Now I guess it's E-bay destined...

Whatever happened to CHAC (The Computer History Association of
California)? I haven't heard anything from them, nor seen new issues
of their journal, in several years now.

I found the soundtrack to Tron on vinyl at a local thrift shop today.
It's in nearly prefect condition. Did I score?
Too bad I don't have a record player so I can listen to it :(

Let me know if you need any parts or manuals on these. I used to service
them and when I sold the business about 20 years ago, I kept the manuals and
the parts I carried in my vehicle. I know I still have things like vibrato
scanner washers and mercotac's, etc.

Any information, general to specific, on the Motorola model M68SetDS351
all-in-one, dual 5.25 floppy drive, computer will be greatly
appreciated.
Yes, this is the one on eBay. I'm trying to decide if it is worth the
shipping cost.
Here's a picture of the machine:
