[IPL is slow...]
I mean the IPL *BEFORE* it asks me for username/password.
It counts down from 11 on the console, and takes eternity.
Ok, what mode is the key switch set to? I think Service mode takes quite a
bit longer to POST...I'll have to check.
[Want a few PC-36es?]
Not really, I'm pushing my storage as is. Maybe when I get moved in some-
where, I could use them. I have the microcode disks and such for them...
[Learning the S/36 O/S]
That's a question of how much time I get to burn with it.
Mine apparently speaks RPG and Assembler, I wish it did BASIC.
Maybe as I screw with it some, I'll learn. I have a quickref book and
a few manuals.
Want to swap something for the ASM diskettes? How about BASIC?
[Hostname?]
Do IBM's need a hostname? I plan to make (some attempt) at networking
this with the S/34...
That I'm not sure of. My 36 is stand-alone. :(
[Operation with no printer]
What was that command again?
SYSLIST CRT
You can also do this from the menus, I forget where, but if you drill down
about three levels in the admin stuff it's there.
