Latest version of VWS

You'd need the expansion plate, I believe, because it provided the interface to the external disk and the rudimentary SCSI for the TK50Z. Connection-wise, all it takes is a 50 pin cable from the 50 pin IDC connector on the motherboard to a 50 pin narrow SCSI disk. I bolted the disk into the compartment in the unit where the RD54 was (used rubber spacers under it to suppress the noise even more). ...but it still goes "rrrrRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!" when it loads heads! ;) -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA

Announcing HECnetNT! (It's HECnet ported to Windows)

by jsteve＠superglobalmegacorp.com

For the two or three people that may care, I ported the latest version of the HECnet bridge to Windows. This isn't a MinGW or Cygwin port, but a native Win32 console version. I've been able to use it with Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Server, and binding Pathworks 7 on a loopback interface, and then using HECnetNT to bridge it to a Linux box with HECnet, that had a SIMH VAX. Memory and CPU utilization seems to be pretty small. As an added bonus I added support for Ethernet_II so you can build NetWare networks, and added in LZSS if desired to make compressed bridges. However it'll parse original configurations, and operate in a normal uncompressed manner by default. I uploaded it to sourceforge here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/hecnetnt/ Thanks! Jason

I have V6.something on both which I setup I recently rescued 3 2000s from recycling, and couldn't stand how loud the RD54s were, especially when all 3 were running. I did some research and finally got them all running the Mueller patches to support SCSI drives. Lots quieter now - I can have them all on and still be able to listen to music. Heh...don't knock those RD54s. Several years ago, when I was still starving in the "zero-work zone" (SW Florida) someone *gave* me about twenty of those drives. Selling all but three of them on eBay paid my mortgage for almost a year!
