This link from fr.comp.ordinosaures is interesting 
http://f6aoj.ao-journal.com/crbst_752.html

Would be a shame if this really ancient videoterminal goes to waste.


As an aside : what a beautiful name the french have for there old computers : 
"ordinosaures"

You might want to disclose the (rough) location of the machine - where
in the world is it?
And also if you are selling it or giving it away.
It helps getting people interested.

I finally got to see a LMI Lambda in real life...

2018-09-14 Thread Daniel Seagraves via cctalk
Two of them in fact, and a CADR - In my garage, no less!

The Lambdas are in bad shape, and the CADR is in very bad shape and missing its 
console and disk. It’s going to take awhile to get them cleaned up and see how 
viable they are.

On the plus side, I got a some spares and debugging equipment, and I have a 
working PDP-11 to debug the CADR with if it gets that far, so there’s a good 
chance I should be able to get at least one working.

I’ll post more as things develop.

Without the console doing much with the CADR is going to be tough.  Not having 
the disk isn’t too terrible as the basic contents (uCode and system code) are 
available.  There’s even an emulator for the CADR though I don’t have the link 
handy at the moment.  Ping me if you have trouble finding it.

Good luck with the LMIs!  

I have several Symbolics machines (3620, 2 3640, 3650) that are more or less 
complete.  The 3620 works (at least the last time I powered it on it did…not 
enough time to “play”).  At least one of the 3640s has shown signs of life and 
the 3650  (which came back to me after a vacation of 10 years or so) needs some 
“love” but it’ll be worth it because in addition to the normal console it has 
the “good” color frame buffer!  The biggest issue for me is consoles.  I have 3 
but one is in need of repair.

AlphaServer CPU compatibility question

2018-09-14 Thread John Klos via cctalk

Hi, list,

I've lurked here a bit but haven't posted much yet. I'm now working on a 
system that I think people here might know something about.


Can anyone here tell me whether the CPU modules from an AlphaServer ES45 
will work in an AlphaServer DS25?


According to Wikipedia, they're both EV68CB CPUs. Some sites (including 
HP's QuickSpecs) list the 1.25 GHz ES45 CPU card as containing 16 megs of 
cache, but some places list the 1.25 GHz card with just 8 megs, like the 1 
GHz card.


If I could find a 1.25 GHz CPU card with 16 megs of cache, and if it'd 
work, I think it'd be a worthwhile upgrade to my DS25.


Thoughts?

Thanks,
John
