I may have a spare VS3100 with framebuffer, I don't remember if both of
mine are MicroVAX or if one is a VAXstation.

Bill,
Are you sure the SGI monitor will work with the Sun graphics adapter? Just
because the plug fits doesn't mean the monitors are compatible, when it
comes to 13W3. It may be just transferring control to the video console and

Yeah, I use a 13W3 adapter and a VGA Samsung SyncMaster LCD on my bench.
The adapter is generic and happens to work on both Sun and SGI machines (as
mentioned, this is not guaranteed).
Thanks,

I'd been trying to reach Dave Dunfield with new TestFDC results since
apparently August with no results. So, I wrote a new TestFDC registry into

That actually seems not too bad. If I needed another big project I'd have
really thought about bidding it up.

Interesting, I ended up with an 11/34A board set from a scrapped-out
machine. I tested it in a friend's chassis, fully working, passes all
relevant XXDP tests, includes the floating point option. Don't know if I'll

That came off of the original import from Dave's old registry. I've still
got to go through and approve the new submissions, planning on doing that
this weekend, as well as adding a few of my own!

Another vote for the FDADAP. Could've built my own, but it's reasonably
priced, handles TG43, does RX50, and I like supporting John's work.

All,
Per the recent discussion on thicknet/early Ethernet, I figured I'd see if
there's any interest in cut-to-length Belden thicknet/10base5 Ethernet
cable. I've got a local surplus guy who's got at least one 1100 foot roll.
It's the real Ethernet spec stuff, sez so on the cable, and it has the

I'm willing to make a deal on bulk purchases, especially if it ends up
being local pick-up (here in VA or VCF East). I haven't dressed out cable

Neat! I'd be interested in a board. I missed out on the ones being handed
out at HOPE in 2008 (The Last HOPE, for which a friend and I embarked on a
last-minute trip to NYC for I think around $150 total, for the both of us).

Same as Dave, using GMail but I'm filtering into IMAP folders.

Yep, popular hack, to run the KDF11 ROMs in the BDV11. That's what I've
done for my MINC-23:

Yeah, I'd seen this one a few years ago and also thought, "why?" 5150
boards aren't *that* uncommon yet. Though I suppose if you just want to
build one, there's nothing wrong with that!
