I am awaiting word on whether I have to go in and retreive the files.
|

I have found the one sub-directory that I may need. Your details
|

on recovery are just what I needed. Thanks.

to ALL re: XEROX XP12E LASER PRINTER
|
|
|
|
I have acquired one of the above mentioned laser printers. It seems that
|
|
it was possibly used as an output device on an NBI word processing
|
|
cluster of some nature. In any case, I removed the external interface
|
|
(seems to be an ethernet to Centronincs interface) and have been
|
|
able to print text OK. It has 2 fonts (landscape and portrait) in it.
|
|
I count 384K of ram and about 96K of rom. It also has 4 font slots.
|
|
Now for the questions:does anyone has documentation on this printer, or
|
|
know where I might get them ( service, etc.) Any ideas where I can get
|
|
fonts to download into it (I believe the NBI systems could do this)
|
|
3rd: Is there any chance in this world that it can be used with
|
|
Windows?

to ALL re: APOLLO WORKSTATION DN550/560
|
|
|
|
I acquired an Apollo DN560 workstation. It may have been part of a
|
|
DN550 stsation (it had a disk & tape backup) or may be stand-alone.
|
|
It appears to have some form of token rign network card in it (
|
|
BNC in & BNC-out) I am interested in just what this machine can or did do,
|
|
and what I may be able to do with it. There are some roms in it labeled
|
|
BOOT, but I see no evidence of it ever having a disk drive. It could have
|
|
booted off of a host. Anyone with into on this thing, please leave a
|
|
message.

to ALL re: CORVUS/OMNINET/DRIVES
|
|
|
|
In the early 80's Corvus had the constellation series drives that used
|
|
a 34 pin flat cable and special adapters for various computers (Apple,
|
|
IBM, Mac, Commodore) THe next thing they came out with was the
|
|
Omninet.
|
|
Each drive has a 4 pin (net) connection as well as an address switch
|
|
on the back. there is also an additonal 8switch dip inside the case.
|
|
How did these units hook-up to the computers, and what was the capability
|
|
of them. If nothing else, I can pull the drive and use it in an XT
|
|
(it is a ST-506 interface)

to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: R/BOOK
|
|
|
|
Ward: Thanks for the note. Unfortunately, Chinet has proven
|
|
a trial. Not the software, the log-on. I got in once as
|
|
a new user under Dana, again as a new user under Danab.
|
|
I found then that Dana was logged in with the correct
|
|
password as an existing user. Today I tried getting in as
|
|
Dana and Danab and was thrown off both times. So it goes.
|
|
The bottom line is I still haven't gotten the input I need
|
|
from Randy on the creation of CBBS and what has happened since.
|
|
But I promise to keep trying. If he can post something here,
|
|
just stating what he was doing in January, 1978 -- who
|
|
he was working for, in what capacity, etc -- and his own
|
|
view on how he met you and what got CBBS rolling -- then
|
|
our chapter will be quite satisfied.
|
|
Thanks again for all your help. IT was a pleasure meeting
|
|
you here in Atlanta!

|
|
to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: R/FAT TABLES /REBUILDING
|
|
|
|
I understand how the Commodore disk format works by saving each file
|
|
link within each sector. The BAM (MS-DOS' FAT) only stores which sectors
|
|
are being used and that's all. How does MS-DOS differ? Does the FAT store
|
|
both links and which sectors are being used? Or is it like the Commodore
|
|
format? Commodore has a DOS command called "Validate" or "Collect" that
|
|
will restore the BAM (again MS-DOS' FAT) to what the directory contains.
|
|
If MS-DOS also stores the links within each sector, it sounds like it
|
|
is very possible to do the same thing in MS-DOS. On the other hand, if
|
|
the links are in the FAT and it's zeroed, it would be lots of fun to find
|
|
each sector by sector. Hopefully the interleave would help in finding
|
|
the correct sector.

Has any quantitative study been done on the merits/drawbacks of leaving
|
|
a system run 24 hours a day versus turning it on at 8am and off at 5pm.
|
|
Assuming theat there is no machine access during the non-business hours,
|
|
the system is still running and hard disk is spinning.
|

Lacking scientific information, what is your personal choice in the above
