It just came to my attention that a pair of RP07 drives in the north of
Sweden needs a new home. One functional, the other in unknown state.
If anyone is near (unlikely) or interested in a long drive (very long),
let me know.
Messages have been passed to several parties, so if several are
interested, we'll sort things out at that point.
Johnny
Yes, if it is not needed to be picked up right away.

I'm just about to hit the sack. I'll send a mail to you, Ragge
and the others tomorrow.
Will you be able to pick it up?

I think I've located the SPL install file for ALL-IN-1, anybody know just exactly how difficult this is to install (I've heard horror stories)..

I've read my BP2 v2.7 tape. I did it on a UNIX system using Johnny's
tape tools, and I have it a a .TPC file.
The tape read cleanly, but again I do not know where this came
from...it has a handwritten label indicating that it's BP2 v2.7, but it
may have actually been written from the corrupted tape image in the
trailing-edge archive. That archive has been around for long enough for
this to be a concern.
Is there anyone hanging out tonight who would like to assist me in
testing this?

I have located 9-track install tapes of BP2 v2.7 and PDP-11 C v1.2 in
my tape library. They are not original tapes; the labels are
hand-written (not by me) so I don't know their status. I will attempt
to recover them in the coming days.

So I'm back to hacking on RSX-11M-Plus again, this time in a more
leisurely fashion, and under simh on a laptop since I'm still stuck in
bed with the "Primus Plague" that I caught while at VCF.
I'm trying to install C and F77 from .tpc files in the trailing-edge
archive, and I'm failing miserably. I've attached them to tq0 and have
tried every possible combination of FORMAT=TPC/FORMAT=SIMH, use of
mtcvt23, etc and cannot get past "tape label error on MU0:" from
autoins.cmd.
Doing this under RSTS/E is a breeze, and I expected it to be even
easier under RSX.
I assume I'm not the first person to hit this problem. Before I dig
deeper and spend a lot of time, does anyone know what's going on?

I probably say this every time this comes up: I've heard the point made
that the DEUNA draws too much power to live in a KS10's BA11K along with
the usual mess of stuff. I haven't checked the math but it certainly
wouldn't hurt to make it a DELUA instead, for that reason alone.
At one point I got a minimal start on writing a DELUA driver for ITS, but
it's on my ITS RM80 that may or may not still work.
