One method to do what you want would be to do the following:
1. Connect a TTL to RS-232 Converter to the serial port on the Raspberry Pi

2. Enable the serial console on the Raspberry Pi.

Hello All,
Since the new hosting has taken over I am having a ton of issues posting to

Are you suggesting running Multinet on VMS so it can talk to the TCP world?
Umm... The problem is that there are a lot more DECnet systems than just VMS.

be able to communicate with a DEC system / OS.

AFAIK, VMS was the only DEC operating system (well, excepting the Un*x
derivatives) that supported TCP/IP. There were several third party TCP/IP
implementations for VMS (e.g. Wollongong, CMU, Process Software,
Does dropping Decnet mean the the commercial versions like Redhat and any
others that you pay support for will also lose Decnet?

I imagine that even commercially supported distributions will eventually

I naively assume that since Decnet is a mature product supporting it just means
testing it with new versions of Linux so not too much work is needed. If a

for example, might be the only distro left supporting it so if

Well, I wouldn't be able to upgrade that machine anymore. That wouldn’t be

Hi there,
Does anyone have the spec sheet for the Dysan 208-21 alignment disk, or
know what drive it's intended to be used with?
I've got the information sheet which comes with the disk, but it doesn't
identify the tracks-per-inch or track count.
It's a 5.25in double-sided disk; the info sh
The 208-xx disks all seem to be 48tpi (208-40, 208-41, 208-10
(single-sided)
They all do seem to include an index burst.
Just a guess, mind you.
