Yeah ... my computer is apparently so fast that it's outrunning time again ...

Actually, the motherboard I put in the temporary Netware 3.11 server I'm using
is not y2K-compliant, nor is the OS, so it has to be reminded from time to
time what year this is. You notice it doesn't know what day it is either ...
How are the messages archived?

What??? You mean the messages I receive?
They're not archived on the server, but get flushed periodically from this
Windows machine. It's just that each time I log in to the server, the Windows
OS asks the server what the date and time are, and then resets its clock.
Since I use several different OS' in the same box, swapping out the primary
hard disk, it does this each time I swap OS' and therefore requires I remember
to use NISTtime to reset the clock. Unfortunately, I've not yet figured out
that I need to put NISTtime in the startup folder ... <sigh> ... one of these
days ...

I'm sorry - I meant the cctalk archives. Won't these messages be archived as
if they were sent in 1988?

I don't know ... you'll have to ask Jay.

New subject: Trying to clean out garage
It is time to get brutal with my intent to get stuff out of my
garage, and make room for new stuff.
If you are interested, have a look at:

New subject: Trying to clean out garage
I build "clones" of old computers:
http://sloboyko.home.mindspring.com/pdp8e.htm
http://8080geek.freeservers.com
I'm very interested in:
Some quantity of chips found on 486 boards as cache
RAM; they are labelled HM6208HP-XX or something
similar. These are for some PDP-8's I'm going to
build. They're 24 pin skinny DIPs, almost always in
ssockets.
ANY boards you might have with socketed 2114's, for
some 8008 clones I'm going to build
A Dr. Dobbs with the "true" LI-Chen Wang Tiny BASIC in
it (and yes, I AM crazy enough to type it in - I redid
SCELBAL, the only BASIC-like 8008 language). You just
can't find this anywhere in unmolested form.
IF no one else wants it, the 8080 SBC board (I would
like the chips for authenticity of my clone).
I can assure you that none of these items will appear,
except possibly in a rebuilt clone after my
(hopefully, distant) demise, on eBay.
Stuff I have to trade (or that you might want)
A roll or fanfold box of genuine DEC paper tape (I'd
punch something on it if you want, I don't know what
you collect). I load Focal '69 via paper tape on mine.
A known tested, working 6120 CPU (what I built my
pdp-8 out of). In it's original DECMATE III CPU board,
if you want it that way
A ratty, but completely usable 1976 PDP-11 processor
handbook
A very simple textbook on assy lang programming of a
pdp-11
A known working 8008-1 CPU chip
Or, dough.
I can't pick this up but nothing should be too bad to
ship. I'd even send you a box!
Let me know. Thanks!
