At least you know what the issue is and how to fix it. That's 90% of the problem already solved. :) -brian On May 2, 2014, at 9:28, Cory Smelosky <b4 at gewt.net> wrote: On Fri, 2 May 2014, Brian Hechinger wrote: I've never actually used that so I can't do much more than point you at it.

DS1287A replacement

by jg＠jordi.guillaumes.name

Some moths ago we discussed about replacements for the dying DS1287A RTC chips used in some machines, like the VAXStation 4000. At that time I found (and shared) a chinese dealer who had some chips in stock. I ordered a pair of those, and: - One of them was dead on arrival. - The other one was working, but it died a month ago (so I guess the chinese stock is made with old chips whose battery cells are dying). Fortunately, there are good news. There is a snap-in replacement made by MAXIM. The chip is the DS12887A, and can be bought from regular electronics sources. I got mine from Farnell, at 11,13 a piece, and it aparently works flawlesly. This is the datasheet: http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/22860.pdf The Farnell part # is 1606597. (I also have tried to fix one of my dead 1287's, but I'm not very good with the solder iron...) Jordi Guillaumes i Pons jg at jordi.guillaumes.name HECnet: BITXOV::JGUILLAUMES

ULTRXI-32

Johnny, You needed an ULTRIX box to test against, right? 9.5 should work for that. Once I figure out how to configure the guest account! -- Cory Smelosky http://gewt.net Personal stuff http://gimme-sympathy.org Projects

QBUS sound [Was: Re: [HECnet] Parallel computing using DECnet]

I've yet to see a PDP-11 with builtin color graphics _and_ sound. Me neither. The 64 probably outsold all models of 11 taken together. That's certainly possible, but one cannot argue that their target markets were even remotely related. Or even aware of each other's existence, for tha tmatter. "Our physics lab was just given a Commodore 64! We can have one user at a time and we have no computing power." "The art department has just received a PDP-11/70!" </badjoke> so it depends on your application and measurement I suppose. We were talking about distributed math apps. Distributed math apps that should GIVE AUDIBLE OUTPUT. I'm told there were, probably third party, sound cards for qbus. Has anyone of you seen one or know more? I haven't. I have a really neat Qbus card with a TMS9918 sprite-based video chip on it, though! That's interesting! -Dave -- Cory Smelosky http://gewt.net Personal stuff http://gimme-sympathy.org Projects

Parallel computing using DECnet

by mark＠wickensonline.co.uk

Might be a long shot but is it worth trying to track down the original author of the article and see if they've got any code lying around? My Unix account has moved with me since 1994-ish so it could be a possibility they have code available. Mind, I'm probably not alone in this amongst you rabble ;) Mark.

Like those demo scene guys and their commodore 64's. Alright fractals sound like a good first project for something like this. ...we do have 64kb available right? :) Yes. We do have 64K. However, for many machines, that needs to hold both code and data... (For some, you can have 64K code and 64K data.) There are very few PDP-11s that won't kick the living snot out of a Commodore 64, FYI. :-) But using FORTRAN, we could potentially use overlays and such. Well, overlays do not depend on FORTRAN, you can use that no matter what language you choose.
