Recycled projects, communications methods, snow

by gregg.drwho8＠gmail.com

Hello! This list seems to be quiet today, so here goes. Basically I've recycled a project. In this case its to construct a something to talk to DEC designed ports. It turns out that after making my way last night through Google and the NetBSD Vax port listings, I have discovered that the MMJ connectors are still active. Two places are selling the tools to make cables, one firm local to me, is still selling the connectors, and one firm is still selling the Ideal Tool designed crimping device. And indeed links for them came from the list. Now the irony, the manufacturer behind the gadget I am interested, has renamed itself, according to Wikipedia, and has a badly designed website. The manual for it was found from someplace else via Google. The manual for it also confirms something that both this list, and that the NetBSD list have long surmised, that the MMJ pinouts are for RS-423 connections. The adapters we use for RS-232 connectors on our PCs for acting as hosts obviously do the translation. And as it happens snow finally came to my area, and shutdown for the day the schools in NYC. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."

Mailing list archive / online forum?

by sampsa＠mac.com

Gentlemen, Is there any mileage in possibly moving the mailing list to something like phpBB with a mailing list interface? Basically, the current use pattern (i.e. emailing to a list and receiving new posts via email) would remain unchanged, but there would be an ability for users to view past posts etc via a web interface? I'd be happy to look at setting this up if there's any interest. Sampsa

Those SHOULD be the install and layered products CDs for VAX VMS 7.3.. Incidentally if you see a short individual wearing a hair style also worn by the Beatles and a boring sport jacket and shirt, and check pants and is followed by a pretty young woman and a chap wearing a MacCrimmon tartan, duck. That's the Second Doctor, and they're rumored to be in your area. West Kensington gets more interesting by the day I guess... Sampsa

OK, pulling them down now - putting them into [.MEDIALIB.OLEG]. Also, I'm going to set up an directory called [.MEDIALIB.INBOX] where people can add files independent of me, and then just drop me a line once they're there - alas, my bridge is down at the moment so this won't be usable quite yet.
