Has anyone dumped the firmware from the TS-801/802/803/806 ?
Images for TS-806 Turbodos is up now on http://bitsavers.org/bits/Televideo now, but
I couldn't locate any firmware dumps for the machines.
I dont know about spot welders, but a resistance soldering unit can be made from a 12vdc transformer and carbon or graphite rods, cant remember, but older c and d cells used to use them. I have an old magazine article on how to do it.

Pretty much basic IRIX stuff - fm, nedit, winterm. I fire up the X server with "X --query {host}"
I have a Fuji PEX391-30 850W PSU that works with the Sun-4/260, 280, 360, 380 that has been offered
several times and no one seems to want. Given the warnings of "capable of welding" on higher-output PSUs,
has anyone actually converted one to be a spot welder? I don't think it will do arc.
I know Im in for it asking such a question, but are there any realistic benefits to film these days considering the expense? Personally the best film camera Ive ever used was a Polaroid.
Greetings,
I love the dual RL02 drives on my PDP-11/23+. It's great fun to hear them
spin up, and they are a neat conversation piece. However, I fear that
ongoing operation will eventually lead to their demise (as with all
things). I'd like to move to a (slightly) newer technology.
My goal is to:
1. Purchase a Seagate ST-225 or ST-251 hard drive in working condition.
2. Build a cable and interface assembly as described at
http://home.windstream.net/engdahl/rqdx3.htm, and put the drive in an
external case/PSU.
3. Properly insert my RQDX3 (in my stock, but not in the machine) into the
PDP, and connect to the drive.
4. Use the ZRQCH0 utility in XXDP (perhaps loaded from a TU58 emulator) to
format the drive as a RD31 or RD32 (depending on the Seagate model).
5. Determine how to boot from RT-11, and perhaps TSX-Plus.
Is this doable? Will the KDF11-BA built-in bootstrapper ROM boot from a
RQDX3? Also, my RQDX3 card is assumed working, but untested. Is there any
way to test the controller board functionality without having a drive
attached?
Thanks for any thoughts!

What non-IRIX X-servers have people been able to get to work with IRIX? I'm not talking about the DGL problems
(where older IRIS-GL programs don't work right with non-IRIX X-servers excluding the IRISVISION because of the
absence of Distributed GL), but I'm getting artifacts (Mac OS X 10.4 X11 [incomplete menus], Solaris 10 [boxes]) or,
more annoyingly, random X resets (Linux and other X.org derived stuff). This is recent IRIX on the client (6.5.22 and .30).
Id take the non worker if he doesnt want it.

I have a RS/6000 B50 (rackmount version of the 43p/150). I know it takes PC100 168-pin ECC Registered DIMMS,
as I have one 128MB stick in there now from the parts bin, but that's my only one. I'm trying to get some more memory
to make it useful, but local suppliers only have 512 and 1GB sticks, and per IBM 4x256 is the maximum supported memory.
Does anyone either have 256MB DIMMS to sell or know if the machine will use larger capacity DIMMS?
