Excuse the n00b question but what's in DECSET? I might have that actually...

VAX compiler kits

I've managed to lose my VAX install kits for the various compilers (I have the full AXP SPD on RHESUS, but nothing for VAX). Anyone got pointers as to where to get these ? My credentials for ftp.usa.hp.com seem to have expired. sampsa

Need disk space for some VAX work? KUHAVX/SIIRI might be useful..

by sampsa＠mac.com

In case any of you guys need a lot of space to do some VAX related stuff, I've got a 12 member, 2926056 block bound volume on KUHAVX/SIIRI. Let me know if anyone wants an account. sampsa

ATTN: Johnny BQT - area 8 bridge IP change to 46.65.175.115

by sampsa＠mac.com

OK, no worries, just thought I'd let the remaining people know that they need they to update their IPs for GORVAX. sampsa On 16 Dec 2012, at 14:48, Mark Benson <md.benson at gmail.com> wrote: On 16 Dec 2012, at 10:55, sampsa at mac.com wrote: That would be Mark Benson and Peter Lothberg according to MIM::DECNET.TXT.

Auto-booting a MicroVAX 3400

by sampsa＠mac.com

It was in fact the switch on the console panel with the circle in/circle out that was in the wrong position (UP instead of DOWN). Here's a picture for future reference: http://i47.tinypic.com/2rm8v4i.jpg Sampsa On 14 Dec 2012, at 15:18, Jordi Guillaumes i Pons <jg at jordi.guillaumes.name> wrote: El 14/12/2012, a les 14:20, Kari Uusim ki <uusimaki at exdecfinland.org> va escriure: There is that (dot-circle) button which is called halt. It should be in the position where the dot is outside the circle. I have just checked my 3300. The two position switch is in the "dot out of circle" position. The three position switch is in the "arrow" (middle) position. If the uVAX asks for the console language at each boot and/or asks always for date/time, then the NVRAM/TOY backup battery is dead and has to be replaced. You can use standard rechargeable batteries and it is relatively easy to do (I managed to do it myself, and I'm quite clumsy with hardware :)).

KLH10 on Raspberri Pi / Nodelist update

by bqt＠softjar.se

Hi. On 2012-12-03 10:24, Jordi Guillaumes i Pons wrote: Hello, Please add to the HECnet nodelist: 7.79 BITXT0 TOPS-20(PANDA) - KLH10 - Raspbery Pi Done. Johnny I am running this simulator in the same Pi which currently holds 5 more VMs. I will see if it keeps stable, and if it does I will run it permanently. Issues to solve - KLH10 does not idle in the Pi. I'll check the idler device code to see if I can guess what is happening. - I tried to give KLH10 its own bridge device, plugged into the rest of my network via VDE switches and plugs, but it does not work. I have lots of IPBLP bugchecks and IP networking is unusable (weird enough, DECNET and LAT seem to work). It works fine if I use the main host interface in non-exclusive mode (but then I don't get LAT). - KLH10 frontend can't load *.EXE files. - TOPS-10 does not run well. I used a x86 KLH to dump the load code in SAV format and then I can boot TOPS-10, but it hungs after a while. On the other hand, I'm thinking about building a blinkenlights device using the GPIO pins of the Rasp-pi basing it on the actual parallel port blinkenlights panel driven by the "lites" device... :) It could be another nice hobby project...
