Hi All,
Ok as Tony said this is Digital Professional workstation.
The sceen lights with small square and I can see horizontal traces, I
guess fly back. Sorry It is not the vertical scan. When I got it
started fine with some os (I have not seen PDP before) with five or six
menus on it. It was so dusty, I clean the dust and now it starts with
blank dispay (with horizontal fly back lines) But if I hit keys, I could
hear beeps so I guess system works fine. I just broke the display part
or cable. This is what I see.
Monitor - VR201 - with 15pin male connector and RJ-11 connector for the
key board.
Red lights on the back 1 & 2 ON. Geen light "DC" on.
on the card slots right to left
1--empty
2--empty
3--000034
4--001002
5--002004-may be floppy disk controller
6--000401-cpu and hard drive controller
Thank you in advance for your thoughts

I am aware that this list covers Older systems than Compaq. From
what I can see from reading this list.. someone might have an answer.
I have a Compaq Despro 386n. Currently it has 4mb of ram. I am
painfully running Slackware 3.1 on it. Does anyone know what kind of
Memory this machine is using? From what I can see, it has two Simm modules
that appear to be 72 pin. There is memory chips on both sides of these.
Does standard Simms of the 72pin variety have memory chips on both sides
of the simm?
If these ARE standard, does anyone have two 8mb ones? I want to
put 16mb of ram on the Deskpro as 4mb stinks! The Compaq only can hold two
of them unless you have the special Compaq memory expander board. If these
are specialized. again who has them inexpensivly?
Please respond either via the list or priate email to my address
above.

Hi,
Thought you may be interested in a car number plate I have to sell..
It spells BRYN F using B 12 YN F.
Unfortunately I am having to sell due to illness.
If you are at all interested please email back.
If not, I am sorry for the email it will never happen again.
Regards

You could net-boot an 11/23+ over various flavors of sync serial boards.
The problem is that most people don't have the sync modem eliminators, etc.,
to feed such beasts.

Hmm, you said XXDP in the title, then you ask about VAX in the body.
But no, I don't know of any net-bootable diagnostics for -11's or VAXen.

The easiest way to do this, I think, would be to boot full-fledged VMS from
another VMScluster member. You know, VMS, that OS that has had clustering for
fifteen years or so now? :-)

Hi!!!!! Stop, please!
I want those manuals. What do I have to do? Cut a leg? An arm?
You name it!
Cheers,
PS: I also have Xerox workstation, but just the box, no monitor nor
keyboard. I'm trying to hack a mono monitor to the xerox's sync
frequencies, but I haven't yet suceeded. I don't have the faintest
idea about what to do about the keyboard...

Well, I did wonder what those sync in and sync out lines were for. But how would one
use voice equipment on such a line? After all it still has a jack for that. Could
anyone point me to software that can use such a device?

It does look like the DigiCards are for some sort of network and the remaining card is a
serial card. I can use the serial card, but anyone want the other two cards? Send a BIG SASE
with enough stamps or arrange to pick up at my address in San Francisco.

that goes to a 9 pin female connector on the back plate. the biggest chip on the board is a
SYU6551a - serial board of some kind?
Board 2
Says Digicard D-Net and has a wire that goes to a board in slot 1. biggest chip is an am8530h-
6pc
Board 3
also says Digicard, The largest chip has a label that says "Digicard Video Network V1.5"
very mysterios. I tookem out.
