I wrote an entire database using only zeros." "You had zeros? We had to use the letter 'O'.") The switches are standard Honeywell AML series, so you might be able to get plugs for them frm a Honeywell supplier -- but don't hold your breath. Each plug has a finger on each side (and a "key" on top). The upper and lower edge of each finger activates (or not) a contact in the housing. I used matchsticks to work out what lengths were required before I saw real plugs. Of course, I wouldn't recommend using matchsticks except in an emergency but you could do what I did, and make your own plugs. I made mine from thin Perspex (Lucite), each from five pieces glued together to make a box. The "code" is: Unit upper left lower left upper right lower right 0 short short short long 1 short short long* long 2 long long short long 3 long long long* long The ones I've marked "long*" go the full length of the finger, with just a small bevel to make insertion easier. Protect/etc.) They're standard T1 1/2 wedge-base bulbs (5mm dia x 18mm long), but to be authentic you should use 14V bulbs rather than the more common 12V ones. 12V ones will burn out relatively quickly. behind The best thing I've found is the synthetic open-weave fibrous mat used in domestic cooker hoods and the like. I get mine from the local hardware shop; it's very cheap. It comes in at least two thicknesses; if the stuff you find is too thick, you can peel it apart as if it were layered. Can't help with the rest, I'm afraid. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager Dept. of Computer Science University of York Received: (from major@localhost) by minnie.cs.adfa.edu.au (8.9.3/8.9.3) id JAA13884 for pups-liszt; Tue, 6 Mar 2001 09:00:02 +1100 (EST) (envelope-from owner-pups(a)minnie.cs.adfa.edu.au) Received: from mwnt5.microwalt.nl (mwnt5.microwalt.nl [195.86.89.38]) by minnie.cs.adfa.edu.au (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id IAA13877 for &lt;pups(a)minnie.cs.adfa.edu.au&gt;au>; Tue, 6 Mar 2001 08:59:57 +1100 (EST) (envelope-from Fred.van.Kempen(a)microwalt.nl) Received: from mwnt4.microwalt.nl (unverified) by mwnt5.microwalt.nl (Content Technologies SMTPRS 4.1.5) with ESMTP id &lt;T0a005f26521d69c64a(a)mwnt5.microwalt.nl&gt; for &lt;pups(a)minnie.cs.adfa.edu.au&gt;au>; Mon, 5 Mar 2001 22:53:09 +0000 Received: by mwnt4.microwalt.nl with Internet Mail Service (5.5.2650.21) id <FQJ8RBFP>; Mon, 5 Mar 2001 22:48:36 +0100 Message-ID: &lt;6F63E31101C6D41196490008C7B2BFC32D19(a)mwnt4.microwalt.nl&gt; From: "Fred N. van Kempen" &lt;Fred.van.Kempen(a)microwalt.nl&gt; To: pups(a)minnie.cs.adfa.edu.au Subject: [pups] DEC ULTRIX-11 V3.1 bin/src install kit Date: Mon, 5 Mar 2001 22:48:34 +0100 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2650.21) Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Sender: owner-pups(a)minnie.cs.adfa.edu.au Precedence: bulk All, As a part of my efforts to create an enhanced version of the Ultrix-11 Unix distribution that can be used on PDP-11's, I started out with creating a kit that has all the parts and which can be used to create a bootable installation tape from which you can install it on a machine. I am uploading "ultrix11-v3.1-kit.tar.gz" to PUPS as we speak. A README file is included, as contains the following: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - DEC ULTRX-11 V3.1 Master Distribution Kit This directory contains the files needed to build a complete installation kit of version 3.1 of the ULTRIX-11 Unix system for the DEC PDP-11. Version 3.1 was also the final release; no more development was done after, as UEG shifted its focus to the new VAX systems. Ultrix effectively was ported to the VAX. and called Ultrix-32. Later releases were called either Ultrix/VAX or Ultrix/RISC, depending on which DEC platform it was for. This distribution contains files from both the V3.1 binary kit (dug up by Wilko Bulte), the V3.1 source kit from Steven Schultz, and some other tools and files grabbed from anywhere. The kit is basically a regeneratable V3.1 binary boot kit, with the official SRCKIT added to it (as tape file 35). The top-level "build" script does what it says.. it builds the tape so you can start it up and go to get some sleep :) To get the ball rolling, check the value of the TAPE variable at the top of the "build" script. It is set to what MY tape device (TK50 on TQK50 controller) under Ultrix-11 V3.1 is, so you may have to change it. Then, type ./build and watch things go. After about two hours of tape activity, you should be woken up by two BEEPs telling you that it is all done. Unload the tape and you're all set. Extreme thanks go to Wilko and Steven for digging up this stuff; to Bill Gunshannon, Ed "The Wanderer", Kees Stravers and Warren Toomey for their support while I was fighting hardware problems and debug weird software issues. Thanks guys!! If you run into problems, drop me a note! Have fun ! Fred N. van Kempen, &lt;fred(a)microwalt.nl&gt; March 5th, 2001 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Upcoming release of this kit will contain, amongst other things: - VTserver 2.0 support (you can install the tape off a virtual tape server!!) - TDF 1.0 (Tape Dump Format) file support for archiving tape dumps - My TCP/IP "fromto" network pipe program - C-Kermit, compress/uncompress - more documentation - more network stuff - my RX50 boot/rescue diskette set (2 RX50's.. neat!) Watch this space for more.... Warren: expect about 38MB of stuff to drop into your mailbox tonight...
