Hi ????? Thanks to Glen Slick I now have a old windows xp system running SIMH ???? Its connected to my LAN so web and file access are OK ???? In addition to the normal IDE drive it has an additional SCSI controller and drive ????? Using SIMH? I have created an image (RD54.dsk) containing a RSTS system. ???? I am awaiting the final instructions as to how to copy the image to the SCSI drive in such a way I can connect it to the SCSI controller in the 11/93 and have it boot. Rod Smallwood --

HP/UX 8 and hosts vs DNS

by spectre＠floodgap.com

I've been doing more work on my 9000/350 now that I have actual space to do work on it in. Although the 10b2 is flaky, I can usually coax it to work. However, the damn thing won't query DNS even though I have a populated /etc/resolv.conf. It can ping the name server, and if the name server's name is in /etc/hosts it will resolve it (and even telnet to it), but it won't talk to it for anything else. I'm not as adept at HP/UX before 10.20 (my first experience with the OS), but I understand 8.0 "fails over" to /etc/hosts if it has some issues with DNS. Fine, but how can I get it to switch *back*? There's no /etc/nsswitch.conf and I don't think this version supports it anyway. -- ------------------------------------ personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckaiser at floodgap.com -- There is always one more imbecile than you counted on. ---------------------

11/93 rebuild - Project Suspended - PC died

by rodsmallwood52＠btinternet.com

The Acer PC I was using to write the image to the SCSI drive has gone kaput. Clearly PSU (not plugtop? mains fuse). Its a non standard PSU and no schematic available. Fall back is to get one of the SLU's (other than the console) on the KDJ11-E going and TU58 it. Rod --

Abandoned FACOM system in Italy?

by evanlinwood＠hotmail.com

I'm guessing this could be known to others on the list, but I haven't seen it mentioned, so posting just in case. There doesn't seem to be mention of any recovery effort in the comments (that I could see).

11/93 rebuild

by rodsmallwood52＠btinternet.com

Hi ??? Whilst I wait to hear from Glen Slick who has got me this far (Thanks Glen) I'll restate the problem. 1. I now have an old XP system with SIMH on it (PDP11.exe) 2.? I have created RD54.dsk containing RSTS/E 3. Attached to the system is a 2.1Gb SCSI drive via an adaptec 2940 controller 4. I need a tried and tested list of step by step instructions to put RD54.dsk on the SCSI drive. 5. The drive will then be moved to a CQD-220A/TM SCSI controller on my KDJ11-E based 11/93 and must boot. 6. Its just an image copy from one drive to another on the same system. 7. Nobody has come up with a tried and tested list of step by step instructions yet. Rod Smallwood --

11/93 rebuild

by jnc＠mercury.lcs.mit.edu

> From: Rod Smallwood > 4. I need a tried and tested list of step by step instructions to > put RD54.dsk on the SCSI drive. Well, this isn't a list of directions, but... I've had good luck doing almost this exact same thing (on a Windows XP box, copy a filesystem in Windoze file onto a device, in my case an SD card on a USB adapter) with 'dd for Windows', available here: http://www.chrysocome.net/dd The command line I've worked out to use is: dd-removable if=UnixRoot of=\\?\Device\Harddisk2\Partition0 count=4872 seek=131072 I don't recall the exact procedure I used to generate that, but I'm pretty sure it involved the use of the "--list" command to 'dd', to get a list of the devices on the system. (The "4872" is the size of the RK pack, obviously.) I'm using dd-0.6beta3.zip but there may be a later version that works too. Noel

ISO: L0022 memory controller for VAX-11/750

by derschjo＠gmail.com

Hi all -- Curious if anyone has a spare L0022 memory controller, this allows a VAX-11/750 to address up to a whopping 14mb of memory (2x4mb, 6x 1mb boards). I found a couple of the 4mb boards, now I just need to upgrade the memory controller to be able to use them... Thanks as always, Josh

M7264 Troubleshooting

by jnc＠mercury.lcs.mit.edu

> From: Jon Elson > Yes, this is most likely a bus timeout The good news is that it looks like his CPU is 'mostly' working; and if the NXM is due to a fault on the CPU (e.g. bad bus transceiver sending the wrong address), that would be fixable (it uses 8641's). If the fault is in the DLV11-E (and not just misconfiguration), depending on where the fault is, he might be out of luck with that card; it uses DC005's for transceivers, which of course are unobtainium now. Still, QBUS serial interfaces are not rare. And overall, progress is being made! :-) Noel

TU58FS

by rodsmallwood52＠btinternet.com

Hi ??? I am working on getting my KDJ11-E based system up. I have a CQD220A and a SCSI hard drive installed and formatted. A serial connection to a Raspberry Pi soon brought up the console on the PDP-11 using TU58FS. Next will be a second serial line to allow TU58 emulation. SFSG What is not clear is if I can get a bootable OS (RT, RSX or whatever)? image onto the Hard Drive using TU58FS. Any advice as to if and how this could be done would be greatly appreciated .
