    AT&T UNIX i386 - Getting X running

    I have everything working now with 86box because it can also emulate the wd8003 network card. The serial mouse option didn't work for me but bus mouse works great. Thanks to this document http://www.vintagebytes.de/downloads/LearningAmigaUnix.pdf mentioning the /usr/X/adm/oladduser command had...

    AT&T UNIX i386 - Getting X running

    Got a bit further by adding /usr/X/bin to a users path and xinit will load the same desktop but it freezes like before. I'll PM you a link to the drive image. Thanks.

    AT&T UNIX i386 - Getting X running

    Mods, forgive me if this is not the correct forum. It's more of an OS question than i386 hardware related. I have installed Intel Unix SVR4V2 (all 50 some floppy images) under emulation using PCem. It works great and I would like to get a graphical desktop running except there isn't any...

    Looking for CPF for the IBM System/38

    Just throwing this out there. Does anyone have a set of CPF diskettes for the IBM System/38? A complete set is pretty large 30-40 in total. Thanks.

    Advice on backup/clone of AIX 3.2.5 on RS/6000 Model 320...

    How did you ever make out with this? I'm in a similar situation with a box running 3.2.5 and the case is locked so I can't remove the drive with damaging the lock.

    IDE to SD card adapter on Alpha

    Decided to try out one of those cheap IDE to SD card adapters on my Alpha PC164 and it was really not happy with the board. Watched it type his error screen out in slow motion. For the record this machine has run NetBSD/OpenVMS/Tru64/NT4 without any issues.

    Alpha PC164 ARC firmware

    Is there any way to load ARC firmware onto a Alpha PC164 besides the floppy drive? I'd like to give NT a spin but the floppy is no longer functional. Thanks.

    Tektronix 4054 flood gun voltage

    Been a bit slow with the holidays but there has been a significant improvement. The bad ram chip has been replaced and we were able to run some code! The built in rom basic appears to be working fine. This is part of the program specified in the calibration procedure. The banding effect with the...

    Tektronix 4054 flood gun voltage

    Guess it pays to RTFM. Just so happens I did and have the results. Looks like this is expected according to the docs. Can't wait to get this fixed and run some demos.

    Tektronix 4054 flood gun voltage

    For the soldered chips is there a way to determine which chip it is from the memory address?

    Tektronix 4054 flood gun voltage

    Good catch. It might explain the weird power up behavior. You're right about not being able to clear the screen when the diags are running.

    Tektronix 4054 flood gun voltage

    Ok good news to report. My initial current readings were incorrect. After inspecting and re-seating the card and also noticing another loose ribbon cable, things are looking much better. At first it looked like this. After a few power cycles the display is near perfect, but only every other...

    Tektronix 4054 flood gun voltage

    Hello Dave. Yeah the 150mA fuse didn't blow, but it appeared to be corroded and have a high resistance. When I went to remove it from the clips the metal ends fell right off the glass! The other 150mA fuse also fell apart when it was removed. I measured the current at the fuse holder. Nothing...

    Tektronix 4054 flood gun voltage

    Hello all I'm one of the volunteers over at the Large Scale Systems Museum. We're currently doing some work on a Tektronix 4054 and the problem seems to be the flood gun voltage. The voltage at the test point TP91 starts out within spec but quickly falls to around 55 volts within a few seconds...

    HP C360 drive tray details

    Hello all, I have an HP C360 workstation with the drive cage disassembled. The manuals show some diagrams of this but not enough details like what types of screws are used on the rear pcb. Can anyone pop one out and snap a few pictures? Thanks.
