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

Also, DD won't work on those disks; you'll have to use sg_utils and use raw SCSI commands to dump the disks. Linux DD uses the system calls to read block devices, and interestingly enough, they only support multiples of 512b for sector size on that. Dumping those disks isn't impossible, but you ne

Hi Peter, Is there any particular reason why you need a model 150? Depending on your needs, you might be better off with eg a -170; a -170 will support the same software stack and will be significantly faster. Are you stuck with relying on Advanced/36 or similar? /y On Tue, 21 Mar 2023 at 14:4

You will need the keyboard. Those terminals usually don't come up without it. Good news tho if the keyboard has been nicked, the protocol is compatible-ish with PS/2. I have successfully used $generic_ps2_keyboard with the right plug for it. Make sure to not hit the Windows key (or any other 'new'
