I have a Distributed Logic Corp, SQ716A Rev J, differential (high voltage)
Q-Bus SCSI disk controller that I'm willing to part with. I've tested it by
booting into it's internal monitor on a uVAX (and that works), but I don't
have a differential SCSI disk to test it with, so I guess it's as-is.
Things I'd be willing to trade for (all or part).
1.) One each, RL02 unit select plugs 2 and 3.
2.) DEC BA123 cabinet kit for a RLV21 (RL01/RL02) disk controller.
3.) Rear rack mounting brackets for a DEC BA23 (5.25 inch rack mount uVaxII
chassis). I have the two long side rails, but there is a small bracket which
attaches each side rail to the rear mounting bracket in the rack cabinet.
4.) Some number of RL02 packs.
Let me know if you are interested...

Greetings All,
I'm back from my Canadian fishing adventure. July fishing in Ontario isn't
as exciting as June fishing but still had alot of fun.
At any rate, I returned home to a gift from my wife: WarGames on DVD
with feature length commentary by the writers and director. Fascinating
stuff. They claim to have invented Wardialing, which I'm more or less
certain was invented by Draper with a prototype of the AppleCat modem.
Now I have to plow through the Sun equipment I picked up in Indiana, the
vax equipment I got locally, some roach infested commodore equipment
I bought from Florida last year, setting up the new home for retroarchive.org
and about a dozen web sites I'm working on. =-)
It's nice to be busy. ;)

I booted the 3/110 that I got from Tom Uban and it comes up, runs SunOS 4.1.1
and also runs xwindows. Cool!
All on a spiffy 19" monitor. I think I'm going to like this machine. =)

They didn't invent "wardialing", but the term came to be after the movie
premiered, as people associated the act of dialing many thousands of
numbers in hopes of finding a carrier to explore with what David Lightman
did in the movie, hence "war[games]dialing". I used to call it
"scanning"
before I ever heard the term "wardial", and didn't understand the
reference until much later.

Huh, I remember it as using modems to rapidly redial busy numbers like for
radio station contests.

Nope. Similar concept, different purpose.

Well the MicroVax 3100 model 30 boots just fine into OpenVMS 7.1
with TCP/IP stuff built in. It looks reasonably spiffy with LOTS of
drive space and a TZ30 in the expansion box.
Did the system password hack to get in.
I'm tempted to put a static nat entry on my dsl router and let people
telnet into it to chat with me via vaxphone. =-D
