Hi, Jason, If nobody comes to claim your SA600, I would be interested in a few of the SDI cables if you would take the time to remove them and drop them in a box and mail them (just let me know what you'd want for postage and time). I have a couple of RA70s and I'd love some intracabinet cables to hook them up to a controller. I'd most likely be installing them into a BA123 I have in the dining room - it came to me empty, so I get to build it up however I want. Of course, I hope you find a taker for the whole thing - it's a nice cabinet but too far for me (and I'm more of an H960 guy anyway) -ethan

short DEC racks

by chrise＠pobox.com

Speaking of DEC racks, What is the model number of the short rack that this 11/34 is shown mounted in? http://museum.dyne.org/index.php/File:P5182215.jpg And then just below the RL02 and above the 11/34 is a filler panel. How does that filler panel attach to the rack? I have this same rack, with 11/34 and two RL02 in it and I have the filler panel but no means to attach it to the rack. I can fabricate something but am interested in The Right Way(tm) it was done originally. There is a groved slot on the back of the filler panel that runs the entire width. It appears that this snapped onto a bracket of some sort that was bolted to the rack. Any ideas? Thanks. Chris -- Chris Elmquist

might be landing an HP9K C8000

by spectre＠floodgap.com

I had root to K250 and L3000 PA-RISC systems back in the day (and a C3600 which the biology department used for visualization) and learned to loathe HP/sUX, but I found my pack of 11i CDs in the closet and got nostalgic for the old architecture (wonder what would have happened if Hombre had actually succeeded). I've got a line on a couple C8000 systems at what I consider to be a fair price, fully loaded. While I did a lot of work on the big iron systems, I don't have a lot of knowledge about the workstations. Anyone know any gotchas I should watch for? -- ------------------------------------ personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckaiser at floodgap.com -- Let us live!

Vexed that you didn't win mine a week ago? Or did it just go too high? A friend of mine is selling another: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230755691414 Also, he's selling an MGT Sam Coup? that he bought off me a decade and a half back: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230755730713 Lovely machine, the latter - one of the most sophisticated of the 8-bit home micros and I was sorry to see it go, but I really needed the money at the time. -- Liam Proven ?

Update Re: Anyone Having Problems With CHD's RX01 Emulator and Ubuntu 11.10?

by mcquiggi＠sfu.ca

Well, no luck on removing the lp driver et cetera under Ubuntu, so I am going to try reverting my Linux distribution, or going to NetBSD for the emulator instead. Kevin Date: Mon, 5 Mar 2012 10:26:38 -0800 From: Kevin McQuiggin <mcquiggi at sfu.ca> To: cctech at classiccmp.org Subject: Re: Anyone Having Problems With CHD's RX01 Emulator and Ubuntu 11.10? Message-ID: <200AF799-973C-4E82-9AA9-1C4184B43B54 at sfu.ca> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii A short update on this problem: Further info, I am going to try to unload the kernel's "lp" and "parport" drivers to see if they are interfering with the emulator's access to the parallel port. "lsmod" shows them loaded, I recall that I can "rmmod" them (or some similarly-named command). I am not a native Linux person, BSD is much to my preference! This was necessary for proper operation of a JTAG programmer that I was using to "unbrick" a dead router a few months ago. Ubuntu's (Debian's) "lp" drivers interfered with the utility's manipulation of the parallel port signals when talking to the router's JTAG port. I am hoping that this will be a similar situation. I'm going to try it when I get home from work. Kevin
