I am still cleaning out stuff I don't need. I sold the MobilePro sometime ago and just ran across this stuff. NEC MobilePro Software including Windows CE, NEC free software CD, Sprynet for Windows CE CD, VGA monitor adapter for the MobilePro, and other paperwork that came with the unit. $15.00 plus $3.85 USPS Priority Mail including delivery confirmation.

I need docs on HP CS80 / SS80 protocols and the HP 9153C hp-ib drive

by zegab＠axelero.hu

Hi, I have to backup a HP 9153C hpib disk drive without having access to a suitable computer. I decided to use NetBSD for the purpose, as it contains basic framework for gpib and cs80 disk drives, unfortunately not for this specific model. Browsing trough the list archives revealed that there were efforts on a similar project, and scanned copies of the protocol description floated around. Please who still has these protocol descriptions can you mail me a copy (of course printed versions are welcome too)? Also any information on the 9153C are welcome. Thank you, Gabor Zele

a few vax 11/730 tu58 tape images

Forgot to ask one more thing...

Are they on the tape label? Does the label look original DEC or secondary? Do those numbers (34/35/36) appear printed by DEC or by someone else? These numbers are also written on the tapes themselves as each tape contains a zero-length marker file named TU58xx.VI0, with xx being 34, 35 or 36. But it would be strange for such numbers to come from DEC: I don't think DEC thought of their diags as being "TU58 #suchandsuch", I think they thought of them as being 2-5-2 numbers (the ones starting with BE- in this case). > I think > I have some 750 console tapes also, which I'll put up as soon as I read > them. I have a seemingly-pristine 750 console tape image on my FTP site. It came from an Ultrix source tree IIRC. It would be nice to compare it with what you have. MS

Brad Parker <brad(a)heeltoe.com> wrote: > In my quest to read every tu58 tape on the planet (one needs a goal :-), > I managed to read 3 tu58 tapes today. Nice job. I have downloaded your images and they look fine. Your console tape has microcode version 57. The one on my FTP site is not pristine, but has microcode version 58, so it should have one fewer ucode bug, or at least so one would hope. :-) Of course it's nice to have both. The diag supervisor and microdiag should be quite helpful if anyone has a 730 that's feeling a bit sick. Also the diag supervisor is not specific to the 730, it originates from the 780 and runs on all large VAXen. I will use it as part of the validation process for the new VAX CPU I'm building. (Even if we do some day manage to pry AXE out of HP with the help of some KGB death squad, the VAX should still pass the basic diag first before attempting a random test like AXE.) I'm still waiting for the TU58s that I've recently bought on eBay that have the rest of the diags. Brad, I'll talk to you in private about them. > I also hacked an ancient CP/M program which reads RT11 disk images to > run on linux. Those who prefer the original UNIX to Linux can save the effort and use the standard arff(8) console media manipulation utility that comes standard with all VAX UNIX distributions. You don't need to actually run UNIX on the large VAX in order to use it, it'll happily run on a MicroVAX running 4.3BSD-Quasijarus and operate on an image file. MS

different 11/44 boxes?

by brad＠heeltoe.com

Can anyone give a coherent description of the difference pdp 11/44 boxes? (I assume they're all BA11's) I have some 11/44 cpu cards but no box and apparently there are 3 (or more?) different boxes with 3 different power supply styles. -brad

FS/Trade

by chrisc＠addpower.com

I have an RA61, an RA80 and an RA81 drive that I'd like to part with. I'm not sure of the exact condition of the drives since I don't have the ability to connect them and see whether they work or not. All three are mounted in a rollable rack. What I'd consider for trade is PDP-11 stuff. If you don't want to trade, but want the drives, make an offer. Tell me what you have and we'll see what we can do. :) Location of these drives is Slidell, Louisiana -- about 30 miles north of New Orleans. Cheers, Chris Cureau

200LX success

by jwest＠classiccmp.org

I got two 128mb compact flash cards off ebay, they didn't work in the 200LX either. That left me with it had to be a problem with the 200LX or the compactflash to pcmcia adapter I was using. Went to bestbuy and got a cf->pcmcia adapter and it works fine now. So it would appear the cf->pcmcia adapter that I robbed from an old digital cam was "nonstandard", as it works in the cam. So last night I was able to boot up unix on the 200LX. Like a geek I was giggling all night. Very cool to have a multiuser unix box in my shirt pocket :) Jay --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus]

BTI-5000,/6000

by billag＠triad.rr.com

Hello, Does anyone have any information on these old minis? The BTI-4000 was based on the HP 21MX and ran their own timeshared basic. The 5000 and 6000 (and later 8000) were proprietary cpus I believe. I can get access to old tapes (and even an old machine) but I'd like to get it emulated under simh if I could. These machines were around in the late 70's and 80's. As far as I can tell, BTI doesn't exist anymore ... they were in Sunnyvale CA. Any help, info, leads would be appreciated! Thx, Bill
