Does anyone have a Philips P2000C CP/M luggable with the carrying strap?
I will be restoring such a machine in the near-ish future and mine is
lacking the strap. Clear photos of the end fittings that slot into the
machine, the dimensions of them, etc would be a great help in making
something up.

Good basic idea (using a different system to build on), but there's a

If we can't use MINIUNIX to rebuild MINIUNIX kernel, should we try to bodge

Yes, I understand that a number of ISAs are vulnerable. The original paper by
Kocher clearly mentions both x86 and ARM.
The reason I forwwarded the question is that I'm not aware enough of all the
VAX variants to answer whether there are any VAXen with speculative execution.
If no, then
Paul - be careful. All CPU's post the IBM AGS that used branch prediction
are suspect. Russ Robelen (who was the 360/50 lead, worked on 360/90 and
lead AGS) has the speculative executing patent. I tweaked him when it all
came out and said - look at what you did.
What Russ and team are great

However, even speculative execution isn't enough to make Spectre possible or
feasible. For example, the
"Spectre" is one of two notorious bugs of modern CPUs involving speculative
execution. I rather doubt that VAX is affected by this but I suspect others
here have a lot more knowledge.

Howdy,
Wondering if anyone has used a SCSI2SD card with a Sun 3 class machine. I
know Walter B has had success with the Sun 2( that’s next on my list after
I get the Sun 3/110 working with one. )
I have some Version 5 of the card. (I also have a version 3 card that I
tried long ago, with little
Howdy,
I’ve recently gotten a second Sun 3/Xxx 3 slot VME chassis, however the
power supply is a EU version, 240v. I know on a number of “newer” power
supplies there is a switch to go from 240 to 115. I’ve taken this one
apart ( at least to the point where it comes off the bottom of the VME
Thanks for the interest! A number of folks responded, I've replied to
the first responder, but of course I'll keep the next couple in line
handy in case something happens.

I thought folk might enjoy this short-ish (~12min) Youtube video
showing startup of arguably the first ever Sun workstation, from a
contemporaneous SunOS... I did.
