Ok, I may be a little slow and everyone else on the list has been to these
pages...
The first is about retro-computing on digital.com's main site:
http://www.digital.com/info/DTJN02/DTJN02HM.HTM
The second isn't so nicely packaged, it's just a loose set of documents
that are (I assume) intended just for this facility. I personally found
some interesting stuff by hunting through the trees, but then I am like an
empty vessel when it comes to these systems. But neat documents, like the
RSX-11M System Generation Guide...
http://www-ols.fnal.gov/ols/documents/docpn.html
If anyone hunting through the latter site finds anything of real interest,
I'd love to hear about it...

WOW, thank you for letting us know about this!!! This looks to be crammed
full of all kinds of interesting reading. I've already snagged a couple
meg of documents (love this new fast line). There is all kinds of stuff on
RSX-11, RT-11, VMS, 4.3BSD/VAX, etc. The Intro to RT-11 5.2 sounds
interesting.
The one down side is that while they are text files they all end in .DOC,
which Netscrape seems conviced it has to download instead of viewing.
Anyone know how to fix that? I don't think I've ever run across a .DOC
file on the web that was actually MS Word, but find a LOT of text files
like that. I'd like to simply be able to open them in the web browser!

In Communicator (the version I have is 4.6) goto Edit:Preferences, then
goto Navigator:Applications. Scroll down to Microsoft Word documents and
hit the Edit button. Change the MIME type to text/html then click on
"Handled by Netscape (internal)" (either hit tab once you've entered
"text/html" or hit the OK button then go edit it again to select this).
Once you've done this then Netscape will always try to view .DOC files as
ASCII, even if it is a word document. To download a true word document
you would need to press Shift when you click on the object on the screen
and Netscape will pop-up a Save-As window. Or you can always go back and
edit the file type as an application/ms-word.

You should be able to get past that little bug by deleting the .DOC entry
and adding that suffix to the text entry.

You should be able to change the association of .DOC from WORD to your
favorite text editor. I use Netscape 4.05 and the relevent section is
Edit-Preferences-Navigator-Applications. Find the MSWORD application,
press edit and change the mime type and the program to launch. You can
also tell Navigator to ask you before downloading/opening the document.

Try www.storage.ibm.com
they had info on my Type 0663 disks, which are 1.2GB 3.5" HH. I don't see
why they shouldn't, then, have info on the 0665.

http://www.storage.ibm.com/techsup/hddtech/table.htm is the full address but
they don't seem to have anything on the 0665 family, only the 663 and 664
(SCSI). I may have overlooked it. Hopefully he has an MFM controller.

Is it a 0665-30,38 or 53? It doesn't matter a whole lot as they are
all MFM ST412/506 but of course the size is different.
-30 is a 25 mb (no specs given)
-38 is a 31mb (5 hds, 733 cyl, 17 spt)
-53 is a 44mb (7 hds, 733 cyl, 17 spt)
That's all I have from my Pocket PC Ref other than they are all 40 ms
access, 5.25", FH, heavy as can be.
