Which DECnet interfaces support remote, unattended, booting?

The problem is that it doesn t seem like there are many PDP-11 or VAX communications interfaces that actually implement this. The DMR and DMC appear to, but as far as I can find those are the only ones. In particular there don t appear to be any QBUS interfaces that can do it. Have I missed any? Has anybody ever done this? What interface did you use? I thought the DELQA did? I don't think the DEQNA did, however. Also, the DEUNA and DELUA handles it, as far as I know. Johnny

Russian Clones (was: Another sillyness. More information in the nodename database on MIM.)

Are there collectors there that collect the Soviet clones? I don't collect them specifically, but I have one of the Elektronika BK0010, just like the one in this picture - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bk0010-01-sideview.jpg The computer and keyboard is pretty nice, although the power supply is a bit klunky. The latter looks like it was made about 1965 instead of 1985. I also have a complete set of manuals for it, in Russian, if anybody is interested in translating them. They're print so I'll have to scan them, but I'm willing to do that. Bob

... Are there collectors there that collect the Soviet clones? I particularly wonder about the ones from STIMTI -- I have a scan of one of their marketing documents -- in 2 languages plus 2 more for summary. Unfortunately, I don't read either of the 2 main ones (Russian and Lithuanian). If anyone wants to see it I can send over the file. paul

Thank you, Erik Thanks everyone. The database is slowly being populated. :-) To remind everyone - you can see how it looks at http://madame.update.uu.se/~bqt/nodedb Johnny On Thu, May 16, 2013 at 06:28:34PM +0200, Johnny Billquist wrote: This is a totally volontary thing.
