With two drives why not put both operating systems on.
Not a bad idea... Just out of curiosity, can RSX mount RSTS file systems or vice versa?
So I could share user files between the two systems if I did that?
do you have stock in your local electric company?
PG&E ?!? I certainly hope not (although I have to admit that my retirement plan
might have their stock in the portfolio - it's pretty common to do so). After their
last rate hikes, I think the current baseline PG&E rate is 12 cents/kWh, and tier 1
(which I end up in most of the time) is about 19 cents/kWh. I can't afford to leave
any of the old computers running 24x7. I'd like to, but it's just not possible.
Instead I run simh on some Intel Atom thing. The whole PC, including the SSD, uses about
10-15W and can simulate a whole garage full of old computers, each one faster than the
original hardware. Kinda sad in a way, but that's progress...
I'll have to measure the power draw of the 11/53 and BA123. I don't think it
really uses 625W - that's just what the power supplies are rated for, maximum - but
it'd be interesting to see the real figure.
