Fix for 4.3BSD-Quasijarus bootstrap on CMD SCSI controllers

Hi all -- Thought I'd share this fix with you all just in case someone in the future might make use of it. Long story short: Got myself a CMD 710/M UNIBUS SCSI controller with the intent to use it in my VAX-11/750, running 4.3BSD-Quasijarus. Unfortunately it won't boot (it hangs shortly

Re: National Semiconductor IMP mini

I see he also has an Apple II that he wants $2000 for --- it's listed as "NON WORKING ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS FROM EXTREME AGE", and from date codes and copyright markings it appears to be far from original. In fact, the motherboard seems to be a Rev 7 RFI motherboard, and the processor is (I think)

Viewdata/Teletext

Hi folks, Happy new year to all! Is anyone here familiar with the innards of Viewdata? I'm still deep in the bowels of this Executel viewdata phone system and one thing that it should be doing but isn't is puzzling me. The teletext chip is a Plessey MR9735, datasheet here:

Re: DEC color standards was: Re: Banner Panels

Then again, there are plenty of Pantone colors that have no RGB equivalent... For printing banner panels, would CMYK be a better fit than sRGB? Are there no records of what DEC specified to their sub-contractors? I learned the basics half a century ago, with "Color As Seen And Photographed",

National Semiconductor IMP mini

This system looks pretty interesting, though pricey. I'm thinking it is going to be a development machine as all the switches and display would not probably have been on a production machine. I don't think National made many minicomputer format machines, in their history, someone correct me.
