Jordi,
You wrote that the NIC on the 4000-90 was broken. Did you try an external transceiver on
the AUI connector (there's a switch on the back).
An Alllied Telesys or DEC transceiver might solve the issue. The logic that drives the BNC
connector is on a separate module IIRC.
I didn't. Actually, I thought you needed a thickwire segment to use a transceiver and
a drop cable. I should have researched it better. Any idea of the DEC name for that
thinwire transceiver? (Or a compabtible one). Anyways, I think I canibalized that machine
a little bit, so I'm not sure what is actually inside of the inclosure. It looks like
a nice summer vacation project :)
If you need software kits for the VAX, post your needs. If I have the kit(s) I'll burn
them on a CD. Hans
Oh, thanks. As I said, I've plenty of "modern" stuff, but I miss some of the
older software I used back in those days (pre-5.0), a (call it nostalgia) I'm quite
trying to reproduce that first environment I worked on. Right now, I miss:
- FMS
- TDMS
- VAX BASIC
- LSE
That's pretty all. I also used AI1 (the dreaded office package) but I'm not sure
I'll want to fight that monster again ;). No need to burn a CD, we could arrange the
transfer by network (HECnet or regular internet). I understand the use of that stuff is
covered by the hobbyist license (not sure about TDMS though), so we would not do anything
out of the law.
