I have RSX11M+ 4.6 BL87 installed and running on my real PDP 11/23+ and
have gotten DECnet to work as well. But recently a need to access a TU58
tape has come up, and turns out the DD driver on disk isn't built against
the correct RSX11M.STB file. So I need to, I guess, recreate the DDDRV.TSK
file. I have tried some very simplistic TKB commands but keep getting an
error saying a required file is missing.
I don't have the sysgen stuff on this disk... What I have comes from the
pregenned RL02 image.
Does anyone know how the TKB command line should look for this? I know, I
am looking for the easy way out. I have skimmed through some manuals but
nothing has stood out to me (I'm sure I missed it).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone have an IBM 4245 printer? I came into a box of NOS print bands and have zero use for them. Don't want to hard them, don't want to throw them out. FTGH, pitch in a couple of bucks for shipping and they're yours. I can get part numbers and quantities if there's interest. There's about a dozen of them and I think they're all the same belt, but do not know for sure.
Hello
I have been doing a several years effort to save (very) old software for posterity, researchers, students. Mostly early 90s UNIXes, SunOS, Solaris, DG-UX, HP-UX, AIX, DEC-UNIX, some VMS software even. I uploaded some things to the Archive, and elsewhere, but I would rather get this off my shoulders, for mortality affects us all. This vanishing would be a loss, with many of these things are nowhere to be found anymore.
I tried contacting the admin(?) bear at typewritten dot org, offering a few things for archiving, without results. Do any of the users here have any means to contact the admin there? I would very much like to access some of the UNIXes software there, and would gladly offer a quid pro quo.
Similarly, if you have any software for Solaris (2.6, earlier) and other UNIXes, regardless of licensing status, I would be very much interested.
Some things probably are lost forever though, such as Proliant PL/I, VisualWorks 2.5, Tibco S-PLUS, Harlequin WebWorks and such.
Thanks in advance, and all the best
Seb.
Was a datasheet ever offered for the DEC 'lemac' series
(de203/de204/de205)? Like the thing with all the registers and
programming information not the installation guide.

Hi all,
This may be a dumb question but I am a bit stumped. I can't seem to find
any helpful info in the manuals. I have a DEQNA installed in my 11/23+ and
I have run a NETGEN using the QNA driver. When NETINS runs I start seeing
messages like these on the console:
Event type 5.14, Send failed
Occurred 19-DEC-24 09:30:11 on node 10.1 (TYCHO)
Line QNA-0
Failure reason = Collision detect check failed
So obviously the link isn't working, but I find nothing helpful about where
to start looking regarding the failed collision detect check. The line is
on:
NCP>show line qna-0 status
Line status as of 19-DEC-24 09:36:31
Line State
QNA-0 On
I have an Ethernet transceiver (I have 2 and have tried both, they worked
last time I used them) connected to the DEQNA harness, and a cable
connecting it to an old 10Base-T hub. I know that hub works because I have
a couple of other systems (OS/2 laptop and an AS/400) connected to it.
So does anyone have any ideas of where I can start?
Thanks in advance!

Hey,
Did any of you do NEWP programming on Burroughs/Unisys A Series systems?
I will be attempting to put together some presentation material (for VCF or similar talks) on MCP internals programming. However I haven’t done it since 1989, so am looking for others who have experience in this area to help me remember details.
I took the MCP internals class and still have the class exercises and my notes. Recently a A12/A15 Hardware Operations manual popped up on eBay. I scanned it and submitted the scan to bitsavers. I am hoping to get my hands back on some system architecture documents that I once had.
So, if anyone here worked on this stuff and wants to help out on this, let me know.
