I have a supply of the new hammer pads in the UK. Their maker sent them to me
for distribution in the zUK and Europe. I think it is about $7 for 10 (would
need to check, but it is around that price)

I called in again yesterday night, still not ready to pick up though. The
guy assured me the drives were being wiped not removed, which is good.
How does the whold 70 day licence thing work. Is that a specific limitation
to os/400 or built into the hardware of the machine itself?
Hi Devin,
I myself have several hobbyist machines, and I know a few other people who
do.
The 70 day timebomb is set by the OS and the different software packages
you install. So, let's say, you install the OS, the development tools and
Client Access. Each of them will have their own 70 day time b
Even if your time is expired (there are some hacks to avoid this...) you can
log into the system as user QSECOFR through the console (terminal 0 on twinax
line 0). For an hobbyistic use sometimes it's enough...

You should check what "wiped" means. If they mean "degauss" as in running the
drives over
Nothing too great in the way of surplus, but you could try Discount

equipment.
If you just want to get together and hang out let me know. I'm

though. But telling
Well... AS/400 scsi drives are recognized by the string IBM AS/400, during the
inquiry phase.
They can be used in a standard PC, if reformatted at 512 bytes/sector, since
OS/400 use 520 bytes/sector.
If they come unformatted or degaussed, you can reformat it at 520 under a *nix

I believe it's 528 bytes these days... Depends on the vintage.

There is a seller on eBay (acpp) that in the past has listed HEPA filters
and heads for RK05's. I bought 3 filters from him a couple of years ago.
I also had a RK05 with heads that were beyond repair. He had the heads an

acetone is natural. Your body is making small amount right now.
It is also making methane, a green house gas.
There is no true green anything in concentration.

Okay, I'll chime in here.
In my experience petroleum oil and acetone are not miscible. Water and
alcohol (and gasoline) will mix with acetone, however.
So what's the lowdown on the ATF-acetone mixture?

The size of two pc towers. I am trying to figure out how to log in. I tried
the account qsecofr with pass qsecofr with no luck. I might actually have a

with before. Not sure really where to go from here.

Is it better or worse than ATF.

Hi Guys
PDP-8 panels are going faster than I can get them made.
VCF East this weekend. I would like to have gone. Maybe somebody
with one of my recent panels
will take it along.

So they changed the default sec officer pwd (root in *nix). You have to boot in
manual mode B M (not B N) and cross your fingers that DST pwd is still
QSECOFR/QSECOFR. Then there's a way to reset the QSECOFR pwd.

You can'read the disks elsewhere: you can only image them with sg_utils. Sector
formatting is not 512 and they are grouped in pools by OS/400. How many disks
you have? Main pool has not been wiped, may be more than one disk...
Just the model I have :) I'm a total beginner so I cant advice you.
Normally I would say "yank the drive and image them with dd on a unix
box". But I'm not sure what that yields, given that the block size is
nonstandard (520B?). Perhap you get a copy you can't easily write back
to another drive
Great teardown, now I don't need to do it myself :)
