Any idea yet what the name of the show is? TechTV tends to repeat the daytime stuff during the later hours. Maybe it will be shown again later tonight. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

VAX 11/750 Restoration Project

by GOOI＠oce.nl

I do not have any experience with VAX 11/750's, but I have once heard the following about the PSU. They are not like the PDP-11 PSU blocks. Those can operate without any load as they are series regulators. The PSU's of the VAX 11/750 *must* have a certain minimum load for correct operation because they are switched-mode. I do not remember if those SMPSU's can be damaged by running them without a minimum load, but I know SMPSU's that will die without a load. So, to be on the safe side: get some bulbs from your car, connect them to the outputs of the PSU to shine a some light on the restoration of the VAX 11/750 ;-) success, - Henk.

DEC Parts haul

by jpl15＠panix.com

I'd gladly kick in some bux toward this... both selfishly (I want some stuff for my 11/44 system) but more to just help preserve this resource and keep it out of the scrap shredders. And I'd be willing to also give money to rent a local (to the Stuff) storage unit for a month or two until logistics could be worked out. Further, I'd help out with transportation if the load as a whole has to be shipped somewhere out of the area it's in now. Cheers John

FW: Huge lot of DEC parts on E-pay

by mtapley＠swri.edu

I'd donate a small amount. I don't think I need any parts now. It'd be cool to get consideration if I need some later, but c'est la vie if not. - Mark

Perhaps he left because he felt he was unwanted? After the responses to your message, I would guess that he didn't exactly feel the love around here. Certainly I didn't agree with him on every point, and his battles tended to escalate pretty quickly, but he has never done anything to me personally, and I can put politics aside. He and I have made several deals on the side for parts, and he has provided me with some very good technical help and suggestions. I contacted him recently, and all is going quite well with him. He is extremely busy with several projects, and he said he couldn't devote the time necessary to be active on the list. Also, he gave a reasonable explanation for the virus issue, and said that it had finally been cleared >from his PC. Although *he did not directly say this*, I think the virus issue and the flamewars made him (like they did me) want to leave the list. If anyone wishes to contact him to verify any of this, I'll provide his email address upon request. Oh, and by the way, flamewars are one thing, but picking on someone who can't read the message to defend himself is quite another -- whether or not you agreed with him...

FW: Huge lot of DEC parts on E-pay

by Fred.van.Kempen＠microwalt.nl

I'd chip in a chunk.... I mean... I _could_ afford the lot, but there's no way in hell I can store it, or have it shipped to Holland, where I am now... *sigh* --f > -----Original Message----- > From: Sellam Ismail [mailto:foo@siconic.com] > Sent: Friday, November 08, 2002 5:32 PM > To: cctalk(a)classiccmp.org > Subject: Re: FW: Huge lot of DEC parts on E-pay > > > On Fri, 8 Nov 2002, Tothwolf wrote: > > > On Thu, 7 Nov 2002, Bruce Lane wrote: > > > > > Found on Usenet.
