Does anyone happen to know what a .SC4 file is. It was written on a
Linux system in 1998 (most likely Red Hat), and I think it was some
sort of spreadsheet. Any idea what I can open it with?

They're planning for Indiana (Purdue U.).
FYI, there are several other events (and related events still interesting to we

submissions are encouraged!

Hi
I would first wait for 24 hours. Next select out any
that are willing to pay a rediculously high price or
are willing to pick it up locally. Then write email to
all those others that requested to let them know that
they are not currently being considered.
Of the selected group, request from each a description
of why they believe they should be selected ( less than
1K words ).
Make your choice then. Also let the others know that they
were not selected as well but if the first person backed
out, they might still have a chance.
Just my thoughts

The 4051,4052 and 4053 were very static sensitive. But it
is try that most were relatively insensitive. Still, if you
are hitting a part with a spark large enough to make
a sound, you are most likely doing some damage, even if
it doesn't show right away.

I am really close to this and I have storage space, but I don't know exactly what the 6400 is.
I worked with an 11/780 in college, and that's too big for me to handle.
A desk sized VAX (like a microVAX) would be fun to play with.

Can anybody give me any information about this drive ?
Would I for example be able to connect it to any more or less modern machine ?
Thanks!

I am supposed to be getting a TU56 DECtape unit today. I believe
it was functional when it was retired, but it supposedly now has a
grimy film on it.
My plan is to assess its condition, then clean it up. I need
to study the manual and technical drawings, but my question is:
Can I easily test the mechanics, on/off switches, lamps, motors,
etc, without hooking up the TC11? I think there is a local
mode switch and wondered what all could be tested easily
without hooking up the TC11. I will be studying the documentation
to get a better idea about things. I have a TC11 that also needs
to be cleaned up. It has a layer of dust on it and needs a couple
boards, which should be here soon.
The goal is to get it hooked up to my 11/40 eventually. I have
a number of DECtapes.
Thanks for any advice that anyone might have,
Ashley
