Hi,
i'm currently trying to initialize my HP9133L with the HFS file system, but executing MKHFS only
runs into an integer overflow exception ...
... this is independent of the number of volumes that are used (i have to admit, i only have tried
1 .. 3 volumes).
I have a Basic 6.4 at hand as well, with this one, it's possible to initialize the drive, but then,
the volume isn't accessible by Pascal anymore :(
Another issue : is it possible to boot from the floppy within the 9133 ? I can only boot from another
9122 that is connected, but not with the 9133 build in drive, later it's possible to use it normally
Thanks Bernd

He's just looking to get rid of it. I'm looking for scrap, and maybe to make
a buck or three. If any of this stuff is of interest contact me offlist and
we'll put something together.

Hi,
I'm (slowly) trying to wade through things here with
a goal of "thinning the herd" (sigh -- unfortunately,
no basements, here! :< ).
I have a working CoCo2. What aspects of it should I
*document* before getting rid of it? (e.g., photos,
ROM images, etc.)
Or, is it just not worth my time?

Hi,
I am in the process of converting my AViiON 3000 into
a "media server" (i.e. hook up all my SCSI peripherals
to it so I can read and write different media in one place...
instead of dragging peripherals from one machine to another).
The (old, slow) CD-RW that I had installed in it appears
to be dead/dying. At first, I thought it was an issue
of not liking "home-recorded" CD's. But, it appears
to dislike "real" CD's just as much! :-(
Aside from flashing LEDs, it's hard to tell what, if
anything, it is doing (fans on the AV3000 are loud).
I plan to take the covers off it (the CD-RW) and verify
the hub is spinning, actuator arm is moving, etc.
Other than that, could be a problem in the optics
(which means toss it out...)
It's a Yamaha CRW4260t-NB so its no big loss (though it
does have a strap to allow it to be configured for different
sector sizes).
Any other tricks I can try? Any suggestions for a replacement
drive? (I'm not looking for anything fancy -- just would be nice
to be able to burn CD's on this machine as it has most of my
file archive attached to it)
Thanks!

Dear Sir

Still got about 4 years before it's ontopic, so I'll make it quick.
Does the Sun Blade 1000 support "Suspend" like other Sun Workstations
such as the Ultra 10 and Ultra 60 do? It's more than a little power
hungry, and generates a lot of heat, so I don't want to keep it
running full time.

If the display in question was a FTM-xxxx (1490 I think) it is a fixed
frequency monitor. 640x480 probably 60-65Hz.
Spent some time this past week trying to get a VAXStation 3500 he
just got to boot. It immediately comes up with:
?64 2 08 FF 00 0000
Then dumps registers, goes through normal tests and declares that
normal operation is not possible. From what I've been able to find so
far is that test 64 is failing, but not what test 64 is...
Does anyone know what the tests are, the meaning of the register dump
and how to proceed?

Henk, looking at this, I suspect your third attempt was working fine.
The problems there is probably because Zane built a version that didn't
have all the needed ingredients. I've uploaded a (hopefully) working set
of sources now. Let's see how that fares?
And Zane, I also did the other changes I mentioned in my last mail, so
maybe the now published sources built without any modifications?
