Marquette "MUSE"--DEC mini/file server circa 1986-88

by CLASSICCMP＠trailing-edge.com

> Is this some sort of rebadged DEC system or a totally custom >ie: worthless medical gadget....looks promising. It's a system, with DEC CPU, non-DEC controllers/peripherals and a non-DEC backplane/chassis/power supply. Not too unusual - IMHO it's *more* unusual to find an entirely-DEC system. Note that it is possible to assemble a brand-new PDP-11 "compatible" using no DEC parts at all. For instance, I know of one desktop system using a Mentec M11 CPU (totally custom implementation, not even a J11), Andromeda SCDC SCSI host adapter, Logical Company async multiplexer, and a Seagate SCSI hard drive in an Andromeda desktop Q-bus enclosure.

8-bit IDE

by allisonp＠world.std.com

>Those "special" drives are not what I meant to ask about. I want to know >more about the 8-bit mode described in the ATA Interface Specification as >published in 1994 and 1996. This is apparently a "standard" feature. It was a proposed feature. Not used that I know of and later deleted from the spec. I've never found a drive that it works on, wish it did though. Allison

Mac/gs<==> PC?

You *might* be able to format the superdisk on your PC as an ISO9660 or a MAC CD, and then put the disk in the superdrive on the GS before you power it up, so it thinks it has a CDROM mounted. Might. CDROM support is a little dicy on GSOS, and whether the file system driver will deal with a non-standard disk size I have no idea. That's what I'd try first though.>> My thought was to use TransMac98 on my PC, format the disk to 1.4mb and con nect the SuperDrive to my SE30. That way, I can move compressed disk archive s to the network for archival. The underlying activity here is to make archi val copies of my existing 15-yr old diskettes and put images on my network. If I can only get a Superdrive for the gs, I can move the programs over by 8 00k disks and then copy them to 1.4m. <<If you have a CDROM burner, I'd be far more inclined to try burning a CD>> I do have one of these, and I'll probably burn a CD with the disk images on it. Right now, I need to get the programs off of the diskettes onto a safe m edia.

8-bit IDE

by allisonp＠world.std.com

>No, I haven't heard of any 8-bit IDE models since the very ancient Seagate >ST___X drives. But I gotta ask, why even bother looking for them, when I happen to have a few WD and ST series ones but they are native ide-8 and no bit change for 16bit. 8bit IDE is true oddball and I really doubt there was much in the way of adpotion. doing 8bit conversion takes a bit of logic and the direct 8bit IDE looks appealing until you try to use them... They didn't standardize! I gave up on them. Allison

System/38 Question

by mrdos＠swbell.net

Someone told me they think (just from looking at it) that it weighs 1700 pounds. Do you think that's possible? I'm trying to find out how much shipping is going to cost before I ship it. If you ever find out how much it weighs, I would like to know. Thanks, Owen -----Original Message----- From: Russ Blakeman <rhblake(a)bigfoot.com> To: classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org <classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org> Date: Saturday, April 15, 2000 4:31 PM Subject: Re: System/38 Question I know the MIS books have it in the general info but I don't have the books handy at present. It's heavy regardless. Owen Robertson wrote: Does anyone know the approximate weight of an IBM System/38? I trying to ship one, and I need to know how much it weighs. Thanks,Owen

I'm a proud daddy

by fauradon＠mn.mediaone.net

Today I found an Androbot Topo and he's standing right here next to me. Now what? I am now accepting any pointers, tidbits, or otherwise worthy information about this cute little addition to our family. I already searched the usual channels. Thanks to all Francois

Needed--Mac 400k drive

by rcini＠msn.com

Hello, all: I just found out that one of my external 400k floppy drives is shot. Anyone got a spare that they can, well, spare? It doesn't have to be external, as I can re-use the existing case. Thanks.
