OK, so I got my nice shiny Z80-A CTC chip in the mail today, stuck it
into the ALTOS, and I now get the expected "%" prompt. So, one problem
fixed.
So, not having a real floppy with the diagnostics or CP/M image on it, I
ran the Single Sided, Single Density diagnostic image on
bitsavers.org/bits/
Anyone got an ISO handy? Trying to get my 3000/400 up; V7.0 firmware; and
it does not like the OpenVMS V8.4 ISOs I got from HP ... I do have a valid
Hobbyist license ... please chat with me off-list?
Thanks,
Sean
Maybe my RRD45 doesn't like the "700 MB CD" ... does anyone know if it's
possible to bootstrap the installation from my existing CISC VAXcluster
with the ALPHA084*.ISO images I got from HP? Cross-platform MOP boot from
the VAX with the *.ISO images mounted locally on the VAX, perhaps? I assume
it's

Howdy,
Went on a rescue last night and while there were three machines I knew of
(a PDP-11 that I'll give more details on later, haven't looked at boards,
etc, since it was part of a
Particle Measuring System, an HP 85-ish machine and a slightly later HP
machine) there was one thing that I hadn't
If you want a real key challenge, try those used by mid-90s IBM AS/400s.
They were electronic; a lozenge-shaped slab of plastic with a bunch of
contacts concealed in one end, and a chip of some kind inside (I never
dared hack one apart!)
IIRC, from the time I tried to obtain a spare, they weren't

Is all the keyed stuff just power on type switches

You have mains voltage exposed all over the place, including the front

What I typically do is take it all the boards out and disconnect the

It's not; IYWR I recently had a bunch of 11/05 keys made for people here, and
it just used a standard blank. (In fact, there were several
