All this AIX 1.x on Intel talk has me wanting to look at it deeper. Does anyone have AIX 1.3 running on VirtualBox ? Thanks, Jerry On 02/ 3/16 11:24 AM, supervinx wrote:

Yes, the SCSI adapters that worked on AIX PS/2 were the ?spock? and ?tribble? boards. They were ?intelligent? adapters. The OS would build up a high level list of commands and write the address of the start of the command list to the card. The card would do all the requisite DMAs to get the command list and data and generate an interrupt when the command list was complete. There was some work to take the AIX PS/2 SCSI subsystem (I wrote it) and make it work on Adaptec SCSI controllers. However, that work was never productized. I was moving off of the AIX PS/2 at that time to help start the team that would eventually do the IBM Microkernel product and OS/2 for the PowerPC. TTFN - Guy

The fact that it is a Google product, a company that makes its own cross-platform browser and is a rival of Microsoft, makes the contention that it's a Microsoft-specific page ludicrous. -- Liam Proven ?

While getting though some stuff, I did find a 800Bpi 9 track tape with Oregon Pascal V2.0 for RSX. Anybody interested in it? Free to get, only postage fee would be nice. Ed -- Ik email, dus ik besta. BTC : 1J5fajt8ptyZ2V1YURj3YJZhe5j3fJVSHN LTC : LP2WuEmYPbpWUBqMFGJfdm7pdHEW7fKvDz

I would love an image of that! On 5 Feb 2016 18:59, "Todd Goodman" <tsg at bonedaddy.net> wrote:

FYI - I have Oregon pascal on 8" floppies, was used on an RT11 system. Also have the Saturn Word Processor (for RT11) on 8" floppies. J

transport. for 7 Honeywell had a 1200BPI 7-Track that used Chrome tape... Dave G4UGM

There are a few odd balls in 9-track as well, but the 556 was a typo. On Tue, Feb 9, 2016 at 9:17 AM, Paul Koning <paulkoning at comcast.net> wrote:

Just checked the URL again, its still working fine for me. Please see additional notes below. On 02/ 5/16 06:56 AM, Steven Hirsch wrote: Just a little follow up. I haven't been able to make a lot of progress on this yet, but I have made some. I use OpenIndiana, one of the more popular Solaris based distro's as my desktop, and I pulled down the source code for Bochs. Current version is 2.6.8 . I'm a new/never used Bochs user, and I was happy that it compiled easily, not even any warnings. Nothing too exotic on the ./configure line, but I did compile my binary with both X11 and SDL capabilities. I started going thru the Bochs docs, and although some of it was pretty basic stuff, putting together a .bochsrc file for AIX 1.3 appeared as it would have a pretty steep learning curve, and there wasn't much in the original setup document/html (Google URL above) file about this, aside from this:: .................... a ~/.bochsrc including: 8MB RAM boot floppy 0xaa55 check turned off .................... I reached out to GLee over IRC, his preferred contact method, via comments on his contact page. It turned out that he wasn't the original document author. He did reach out to the original document author and passed along my request for the contents of his .bochsrc file. That information is located here: http://hup.hu/node/95061 Here is also a cut-n-paste of the information. Hope this helps anyone else who is working on this in parallel with me.
