Thank you very much! This is interesting because it shows VT100 dot

I am looking for the manual for the following Omnibus board:

Is there a scanned copy of the manual and/or schematic or any other

Thanks and best regards

I have ISA ethernet and Arcnet boards.

I believe 16 bit ethernet cards would work in 8 bit slots, the 3c503 and
509 did if I recall. Try that.
But really you should go with ArcNet.

I'm glad it worked. I still find it illogical to loop mount a device,

There's nothing special needed to write the disk -- just burn it the way

IIRC I had burned the Ultrix CD "normally" (means without fiddling with
block size, so not 512), but changed the block size to 512 for booting
it. IIRC #2, burning was done on another drive, not the Plextor.

[[ apologies for top-post: Y! issue ]]
I know that to be bootable on DECstation/VAX/early Alpha, CD-ROMs needs to be
jumpered to 512-byte blocks. Like RRD4x.
Does the burning CD write need to be jumpered to 512-bytes? Or can one write on
a "normal" CD burner, then read on a 512-byte-block

With physical CDs, the Linux CD-ROM driver expects the filesystem to use

Ultrix UFS is 4.2SD plus some big fixes. It's definitely pre-4.3BSD. So 44BSD
won't work.
I hit fsck errors anytime I mounted Ultrix FFS read-write with (very early
NetBSD).
You may be better off if you can try with *BSD.
OSF1/Digital Unix/Tru64 has a newer FFS, definitely 4.3BSD or newer --

I’ve used Orange based cleaners a lot in restoring old HP equipment. It does
affect some plastics -polystyrene in particular- but it’s not as harsh as Goo
Gone and should be wiped off quickly anyway.
It does not affect most other plastics in my experience.

anyone by chance have an old 3/80 carcass laying around that has a good

repair suggestions? Also one of the rear feet (narrower rear one)
