Ok, so how do I install layered products?

by CLASSICCMP＠trailing-edge.com

>Where to start? (I entered the label that the disk says it has on it (its >printed on the CD as OPENVMSS070LP, but that is rejected as being incorrect) If you think the label printed on the CD is wrong, you can do a MOUNT/OVERRIDE=IDENTIFICATION to figure out what the real disk label is. If you still get an error, show us exactly what command you tried and exactly the error message you got back. Unlike many modern software products, the error messages from VMS *are* actually helpful to figure out what's going wrong! Tim.

Ok, so how do I install layered products?

by cmcmanis＠mcmanis.com

I know, I know. It must be written down somewhere, but the DOC is on a CD and I don't know how to access it! I have VMS 7.0 installed, and I installed DECWindows. I also told it to be a cluster node and that caused some problems initially. On boot it complained about INCLUDES. For the uninitiated the NO_SHARE option on the hobbiest VMS license means you need one license per CPU, and for that to work you have to type: LICENSE MODIFY/INCLUDE=TNYVAX VAX-VMS before it will work. (TNYVAX was my node name, yours will vary) So its installed, but I would really like to install TCP/IP so that I can open a DECWindow on my remote X server. I think it is on the VMS Layered products disk but when I try to mount it it complains I've gor the wrong label. Where to start? (I entered the label that the disk says it has on it (its printed on the CD as OPENVMSS070LP, but that is rejected as being incorrect) --Chuck

I don't see that part number in my indices, but it certainly sounds like it may be a DEC part number. With the FIFO and the UART, it obviously has something to do with buffering either input or output through the serial port. Interesting find! If you look on the board handles, are there any suffixes on the M8189? (Something like "YA" or "YB"?) -- Tim Shoppa Email: shoppa(a)trailing-edge.com Trailing Edge Technology WWW: http://www.trailing-edge.com/ 7328 Bradley Blvd Voice: 301-767-5917 Bethesda, MD, USA 20817 Fax: 301-767-5927

RCA Dev System IV another update...

From: technoid(a)cheta.net <technoid(a)cheta.net> >Excellent. What are the specs on the machine or do you know yet? > I thought I'd start posting some of my notes as I jump into this machine that I'm already beginning to love dearly. This first post covers the COSMAC's features, organization, archetecture and instruction format if anyone is interested: http://users.leading.net/~dogas/classiccmp/cosmac/note1.htm More soon... Please let me know if I misrepresented anything. Cheers - Mike: dogas(a)leading.net

11/23+ question

by wrking＠tsoft.com

I was wondering if anyone had an idea about an 11/23+ I picked up recently. It's a normal looking 11/23+, but the UART closest to the console connecters is replaced by a 40 pin socket. The socket has a ribbon cable attached which goes to a small board (2x3.5 inches) that contains a UART and a couple of other chips (notebly a dallas ds2010). Looking at the socket, it's not a rework, I believe the board came this way from DEC. The small board has a part number 010-01135-00 rev b etched on it. Thanks, Bill King

VAX on TV???

by andy.sporner＠networkengines.com

Hi, > I recently saw some top corner of a VAX 4000 in a documentation on TV here, > including some other VAX-related DEC-stuff standing around there. But on the > movies, it seems to be hard to spot a VAX. Perhaps in the German movies, but you can see a room full of 11/725's and 11/750's in a movie called "D.A.R.R.Y.L". Andy

Fluke DOS

by rigdonj＠intellistar.net

Hi, I picked up a second FLuke 1722 today. This one does have the keyboard (at last)! But I still haven't found the operating system software for it. Can anyone help? It uses Fluke's F-DOS. I'd also like to find a manual for it. The 1722 is an instrument controller. It has a built in touch sensative screen that measures about 5 x 7 inches. It also has one built in RS-232 port and one HP-IB port and it's controlled by a TMS9900 CPU. Joe

Many IBM minis & mainframes that used FDD's did not have an FAT on the disk! The result: you had to provide the track & sector location on every disk access! a similar scheme was used in the prototypical (and unreleased) Commodore 900 workstation. ____________________________________________________________ David Vohs, Digital Archaeologist & Computer Historian.
