Re: Bad heads on RL02: Worth replacing
On a funny side note, I have a -30 rating on Imgur now since a few of the posts of these drive heads were posted with names like "dirty bottom" and "clean top". Ooops. Looks like drive heads are not a proper kink...

Seeking information on the CSTS Timesharing service
Does anyone have any information on Infonet, which was a timesharing which CSC put out? I've got some info that it had a timesharing service called CSTS and would like info on that. I've got info on the original version of the Pick system which IP was owned by TRW and was called GIM. The CSTS Infonet service provided access in some way to IGIM, which is in a manual I just obtained. So I want to know if there is any CSTS manuals or documents (ideally) anyone may have. Secondly it looks like rather than IBM mainframes for timeshare, the systems that Infonet shared were Univac 1108s. So looking for verifying that. Especially if the systems were all Univac was IGIM running on the 1108. The time frame for the manual is 1974. GIM dates from 69 to 70 from a TRW contract. Actual product was obviously running in one form in 1974. There is information that it ran on PDP 11s as well in another form. While searching for information with Google, I found some court proceedings, including a precedent related to RICO charges on individuals in Infonet. If anyone finds the original indictment, or can get to it on pacer, I'd appreciate a copy to read, or send message, I'll supply the citation. A better source like Pacer probably will retrieve the original indictment. I only find a decision which was reversed related to the indictment. I suspect there would be a lot of history in the indictment around the 1980 ish timeframe of the indictment about how CSC ran Infonet. Short story on what you will find online a lot of spots is a precedent set by the 4th Circuit of Appeals which resolved a technicality about whether individuals and corporations were the same WRT charges. The ruling that RICO applied to individuals and not corporations was filed by a trial court. But the appeals court said that the actions if they constituted RICO by individuals could be go back on the corporation they operated in was the precedent. Obviously not a good one for corporations.

DECtape drives are one of the rarest DEC peripheral, and un-surprisingly, one of the most valuable. (A TU56 sold on eBait for $7K back in 2015.) Would a TU55 do, or does it have to be a TU56? (The interface is basically compatible, I think, but I have yet to dig into the details, so I can't say for certain. But I think I recall seeing systems with one or the other, and AFAIK the controllers aren't drive-type specific - the cabling might be, though.) Noel

Re: Looking for a Motorola Universal Data Systems 212A/D manual
Brent - thanks! I had found the arcelect site and read the docs on a few related modems; that gave me some insight. But a lot of what they have is more primitive that this one, so much of the manuals do not apply. I opened the case looking for clues and taped to the underside of the lid was a handwritten note that said "To awaken the UDS 212A/D mode send to UT capital EN or H Help menu." It was a little cryptic but sending "EN" did launch me into a menu system that would let me dial or set pre-set phone numbers for dialing. At the moment it auto answers and tries to dial, but it won't complete a connection. My VOIP line might be to blame for that. I'm happy because I got really lucky with the handwritten note ...

It may be that my address got into the local address book of a contaminated system but stopping this net for several weeks brought the spam and trash mail from 25-80 a day to zero near instantly (less than 12 hours.).I've bailed from the list in the past for periods for the same reason. I cannot filter the spam due to multiple reasons. Its not bizarre as people do want valid addresses for scams and legit offers for crap I do not want. It is my belief that we have a user that is farming the list and getting though spam filters. If you do not. then great. I've been active here for a very long time (since I was on WSTD.COM). It has been a persistent problem that always starts small and grows quickly and then I start filtering till I'm killing good mail.

Re: Tap, tap, tap, is this working???
Simple I unsubed the old address and did a fresh subscription for a new one. Why I did that is more interesting. I have had issues with spam for a while and it was getting seriously worst for the last year. So I started shutting down any lists I had signed up for and this (cctalk/cctech) was the last. For a long while I thought it was yahoo groups but when they went away there was no drop. So I unsubed from here and it stopped, hard. I believe there is a someone or something that is subscribed to the list and scrape it for active names. and emails. I have no idea what the specific how it is done but it is a trivial coding task to extract emails for sale as known active. It was not coming though the list but from bots most likely and used list members names to obscure being spam/uce//malware. IT would nto take much to create a subscription and have that go to some automation to capture information. The question is how many listen only members are there that have never ever posted a comment? This account is used only for this list. If it gets spamed then I know its from and outlet somewhere on the list but not majordomo and I have it cornered in a single use account I can ignore or destroy at a moments notice.
