DEC Assistance

by kyrrin2＠wizards.net

Tim or Allison, I could really use your help. Tim, I think something in the mail system may be preventing my messages from reaching you. I have O-VMS 6.2 up and running. What I need is someone else with a MicroVAX to create an RX50 floppy, initialized with VMS, with VMSTPCE (unzipped and ready to roll, ideally) copied to it. I cannot seem to transfer it from my PC, via PUTR and VMS's EXCHANGE, to save my life. This evening, I will try installing TCP/IP services on the VAX and try to FTP the appropriate file from its resting spot on my server. However, I'm not sanguine about the results given my difficulties over the last few weeks. Sheesh... it should NOT be this hard to do a simple binary tape copy! If tonight's effort fails, and no one else can help, I'll just install Ultrix and try it that way. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Bruce Lane, Sysop, The Dragon's Cave BBS (Fidonet 1:343/272) (Hamateur: WD6EOS) (E-mail: kyrrin2(a)wizards.net) http://www.wizards.net/technoid "Our science can only describe an object, event, or living thing in our own human terms.

A McDonnell-Douglas Micro-6000?

IIRC, PIC is its own operating system -- useful for database work. A village down near me still uses it for its town hall records, and -- last I hear -- was still supported.

Kaypro II help needed

by SUPRDAVE＠aol.com

I decided to drag out my kaypro II for testing/cataloging/photos and noticed it's even worse than before. previously, i was able to boot a cpm disk but got no keyboard activity. now, it powers on, spins the floppy a few rotations, then prompts to place a disk in drive a: and no more than that. hitting the reset button didnt do anything. it keeps coming back to the same screen. while typing this note, i noticed it finally booted off a floppy in about 5 minutes' wait and now i'm getting no keyboard input (not even ^M or ^G) and the floppy light is staying on but not spinning. i do get an a: prompt though. someone mentioned the keyboard controller chip missing, but it's there. this machine has two half height floppies which i assume incorrect. would full height pc/xt drives be "correct"? what should i check now? david

A McDonnell-Douglas Micro-6000?

by IVIE＠cc.usu.edu

> Anybody know what this baby runs??? I heard in passing that they used > to run PICK on it. I think PICK is some kind of manufacturing software > but what was/is the operating system? PICK is the operating system. PICK is a combination operating system/programming language/user environment. It was created by Dick Pick on a military computer (I think one of those militarized UNIVAC thingies) and ported to a variety of other machines. AFAIK all legitimate ports were done by Dick Pick himself, although the book I found talks about people cloning PICK without Dick's permission (since this is a book of the "PICK rah, rah, rah!" variety, this is said to be a Bad Thing). Personally, it looked to me like there were holes in the PICK system you could drive a truck through; security seems to be done mostly through obscurity. Roger Ivie ivie(a)cc.usu.edu

Does anyone have an explanation of what the Unibus pins do?

by dseagrav＠bsdserver.tek-star.net

I was curious. I have the pinout in the 11/44 book, but it doesn't say what any of the pins do. I have something I want to try, but to try it I'd need to know what the pins do.
