Hello!
Um Dave? My group arranged it with yours. There's also a tribble that
weighs about 1 Metric tonne sitting on your doorstop eating someone's
leftover salads for the past month.

We will want to coordinate the timing of this as I'll be moving RHESUS + CHIMPY etc to the rented rack the moment I sell my London flat, I live in Beirut right now as you know.

So if you have any savesets, cool old software etc, let me know.
At some point I'll send you a HD will all my images on. It's pointless me hosting ISOs although there is some benefit in a WASD based server here for smaller stuff. My internet is slow slow slow at the moment.

Hello!
I have a collection of DCL items that do something. They were

can recall the enclosed DCL file insists that it is for a mail list
along the lines of the annoying listserve ones or the equally famous
for being confusing Majordomo or even the cantankerous but not rude
Mailman. And assorted other utilities.
Since then I didn't have access to a running VAX system then I never
did anything with them. So I want to provide them to the group in
hopes that someone can understand and make use of them.
Now the DCL file's notes on that grouping inside the late GENIE
insisted that's what it was. I suspect that it is not.
I don't own any of them. they belonged to whoever was foolish enough
to upload them there and forget them.
So Johnny is there a problem with my attaching the 55K zip file to the
next e-mail message in this thread from me which will contain them? Or
do I need to work on some other method?
I prefer to keep distribution of software elsewhere. What's wrong with just
putting them on a machine on HECnet, and point people there?

Hello!
Excellent point.
However even now, I still don't have a running system that's attached
to the network we run. Now Sampsa if you want I can send you the zip
file directly, and then let you explode it and figure out exactly what
in the name of a nameless wonder they are. And then you can find a
place to host it on your setup.

Qniverter
Yes, I remember the Qniverter - he wanted to test it, but we were not using LSI-11s at UCB. For a long time the communications boards were feeding him. Ken and team were great. I have some fun stories when he would show at USENIX and talk. My favorite was his talk about being careful about "foreign" UNIBUS implementations - coming from the mouth of a guy that was a if not the leading UNIBUS com board supplier for a long time. But he was right, if I remember one of the DEC (KMC-11 maybe) had a loosy Unibus implementation and you needed to be careful where you installed it. Plus, Able was the king of bus repeaters -- Ken O'h knew as much if not more about the dark sides of the Unibus than anyone. I came to trust his boards over DECs for a long time.
BTW: Emulex did some great things too. The originally were doing disk interface clones for the 11s and vaxen and eventually moved in the coms stuff. I don't remember if Ken ever did an ethernet board, but I think I remember that Emulex made them. I know we used to use the Emulex disk controllers pretty much exclusively at the time.
