Umm.. That actual unit in the video arrives at my house on Monday. I bought it on eBay a week ago :)
I didn't know they weren't common.

Evening all,
I'm fighting with nonsensical quota errors from DECUS UUCP: p:uucp <<

What kind of error message is that?

After a fresh and clean reboot, there is no problem. After awhile however
UUCP ust completely falls over and throws quota limits. As I have rainsed
several of them far above defaults...any ideas where the problem could be?
My guess, if I had to wager one, would be BYTLM.
However, I'd like to know where it's returning SS$_EXQUOTA. C programmers
often seem to miss returning the most important piece of information when
they include the cryptic error messages like that which you posted. If it
is possible to get a process dump/traceback or there's a way to modify the
error messaging such that the PC (program counter) can be returned, it is
then possible -- assuming you have generated compiler .LIStings and linke
r .MAPs when building UUCP -- to figure out which system service returned
the SS$_EXQUOTA
That said, most quotas are debited and credited. If there's a programming
error, some deductible quota may be debited and not credited back when it
is no longer needed (like memory leaks when allocated memory is not freed)
leading to a shortfall when a system service invoked to perform some deed
that has no quota left to debit from.

Hello!
Cory what did you do? It seems from the earlier message that something
happened where you are.

DNS broke. My script handles that very poorly it seems. Emails are sent
before SNMP is pushed.
DNS is fixed but the mail server complaining in this case isn't aware of
that yet it seems.
I'll fix the code to gracefully handle this.

First of all, you are talking about a DE9, not a DB9 (surprising how
many don't know the correct name of that connector).
I educate whomever I can, but I have all but given up on the general
technical public understanding this.
It is rather surprising that this lack of understanding continues...
Second, DEC often used a different pinout for a DE9 than IBM did, so you
might not be too happy with the adapter, depending on what you want in
the end.
In this case, the DEC-machine-facing side is the MMJ. (at least that
is my understanding)
Mine too. But he was asking for a MMJ to DE9 adapter as well. And I was
pointing out that the (most) common adapter is not IBM PC compatible.
I don't believe that the most common MMJ adapters are NOT PeeCee compatible.
I have and I have come across manymnay more that are PeeCee compatible that
those that are not. The original 9-pin pinout was abandoned pretty early on
in the MMJ adapter history. See the OpenVMS FAQ for actual part number for
these adapters.

I tired hooking up my multisync monitor I have hooked up to my DEC
3000, but I don't think the graphic card is set to a setting within
the monitor's range, as nothing shows up.
Do the DEC 3000 have a VGA port?
It does not.
In that case, I would probably suspect the cable just as much as any possible frequency issues...

A 340 is nice. The 330 is pretty much the same, except for being monochrome.
The problem with the 340 is that the power supply have a tendency of blowing up with age. (I have two broken ones...)
Can they be replaced with anything sensible, i.e. could a qualified electrician build a new one for not too much effort?
The power supply is not a separate unit, but sits on the same mainboard as everything else.
