Hello!
For now. Given time I might have someone online and driving everyone
even more off the wall.
Incidentally Dave and Sampsa, those yeti outside your places have
decided to spend the rest of the season there.

I have to get an operational RM03. This is proving difficult. :-(
FYI: An RM02 will work too. Just a little slower...
Unfortunately they're just as rare anymore. :-(

I am using PIVAX(n) as my cluster nodes. I'd suggest avoiding it to
prevent confusion. :)

You can use almost any SMD disk that has a data-rate that do not
exceed the data/clock input of the masbus/SMD logic that is in the
RM02/RM03 and in a separate cabinet on RM05. My memory is vague,
but I think the number was 37mbit/s. Like a small 8" winchester..
(I think the fjutzu eagle is to fast, maybe swap LSttl for Fttl..)
(assuming this is 2020) I changd the panda moitor and DDRSMB to have a
table that describes the disc layout indexed by drive type read from
the masbus controller and I can dig them up for you..

Hi All.
Just want to give you an heads up. We have had a water leak in Updates
server room.
Yikes!
Indeed. :-)
Mim and the server running this mailinglist might have to be taken down.
I'll get back to you when I know more.
DECtec.info has a mailing list that users are welcome to use as a
communications platform during any possible downtime.
Hopefully things will not be that disruptive. Both the machine running this list (as well as the Update bridge hub), and MIM, are actually just PCs anyway, so they are easily moved. Any downtime should be pretty short.
The large machines are usually not on (sadly enough).
(Pontus, fix the cooling!)

Interesting that you think that the idea of a keyboard will even be a reality in 10 years, glass, forcefield, or whatever... I would tend to think that simple I/O would come from speech or another method.
I don't think so. Just imagine an office full of people all talking to their computers at the same time. It would be as the worse call centre cacophony you can think about... Multiplied by 1000.
I'm still using my old IBM model M keyboard... And to get it away from me you should pry it from my dead fingers... I love that clicky-ta-clack sound. Modern keyboards just can't beat it!
If the industry does move toward glass screens, it'll be interesting to see how long until ergonomic consideration circles back around... I can't see "typing" on a flat desk, eight hours a day....
I do like the forcefield idea...
