Re: Merry Christmas
My early Christmas present was finding all of the wonderful and amazing people already gathered here and on other fora concerning classic computing, especially S-100 systems that I missed the development of while at a service academy, stationed overseas, and forward-deployed aboard ships. Donations of, and discounts on, systems, boards, components, parts, software, etc., for my 7th - 12th grade Computing and Science classroom in very rural Montana have been additional much-appreciated gifts. Stockings stuffed with help from the friendly folks here has been the icing on the cake. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night, in the broadest sense Office and was the spirit of all of the Winter holidays.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas and may the New Year bring all your computing wishes true. Happy computing all!
NFS & Kerberos woes...
Do any fellow cctalk / cctech subscribers have any experience with NFS,
particularly in combination with Kerberos authentication?
I'm messing with something that is making me think that Kerberos
authentication (sec=krb5{,i,p}) usurps no_root_squash.
Meaning that root can't access files owned by other users with go-rwx.
Almost as if no_root_squash wasn't configured on the export.
Does anyone have a spare bone that they would be willing to throw my way?

How to convert CGA video to HDMI…
If you're into retro computing at all, and want to see how to hook old computers up to new HDMI monitors, then check out @craig1black's new video on doing exactly that. Link - How to convert CGA video to HDMI for around $65 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpfrelhokKQ I find this quite impressive and will likely have to look into this further. -- Grant. . . . unix || die

I could definitely be mistaken, but my first guess would be that a tape with CNC machine programming would contain G code, and look like cryptic ASCII text. I'm interested in hearing what you find. -- Mark J. Blair http://www.nf6x.net/
Speaking of paper tape...
Does anybody here recognize the manufacturer of this gear, presumably some kind of punched paper tape equipment? Second to the last image at: http://www.tapeheads.net/showthread.php?t=15284=movies=10 I recently had the chance to play with a Blu-Ray transfer of the old gothic sci-fi TV show _The Outer Limits_ (the original 1963-64 series), and some of the 50s magnetic tape equipment used as recurring props can be identified -- e.g., an Ampex FR200 data recorder, Magnecord and Roberts audio tape recorders, and even a pair of old Univac Uniservo I tape drives in one episode. But that twin paper-tape device (if that's what it is), which occurs in the background of a number of first-season episodes, remains a mystery. The lower reels (if there are any) seem to be out of sight in the lower part of the cabinet in all shots of the device, and there seems to be a continuous loop of paper tape threaded around the tape guides and back up to the upper reel (which is actually spinning in at least one episode). Anybody know what this might be?
Re: Merry Christmas
++Tomasz Merry Christmas, all. May there be classic computing under your tree and in your life every day. My exercise this month is to refurbish a Mac Quadra 800 and install A/UX 3.1 Tom -- On Tue, Dec 25, 2018 at 8:19 AM Tomasz Rola via cctalk < cctalk@classiccmp.org> wrote: > Folks, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, thanks for all interesting > reading matter and let there be plenty of interesting stuff to read > about in a future, too. > > :-) > > -- > Regards, > Tomasz Rola > > -- > ** A C programmer asked whether computer had Buddha's nature. ** > ** As the answer, master did "rm -rif" on the programmer's home** > ** directory.
