Subject: Looking for math functions (AT&T 3B2)
Date: Mon, 14 Dec 1992 15:53:05 GMT
Organization: University of Kentucky Engineering Computing Center

I'm porting Berkeley Spice 3e2 to the 3B2 platform, and I've
run up against a few math functions which seem to be absent
under CPLU 4.2, namely:
	acosh
	asinh
	atanh
	logb
	scalb

Before I actually try to write this stuff, I thought I'd ask
if anyone knows of a PD version of these calls.......

Date: 17 Dec 92 13:24:26 GMT
Organization: University of Kentucky Engineering Computing Center

While poring over some old sales literature for the 3B2, I found notice
of RPG and COBOL compilers.  Has anyone used these?  Are they any good?
I might try to find a copy, if they're worth it for a "goofoff" program-
ming machine.

The floppy controller on the 6300 motherboard supports two floppy

get one from AT&T or other vendor.  Email me if you need a phone

I think if you add "SENDFILES=yes" to your Permissions line for "lfergus",
things should fly.  Check the bear book for more details.

Summary: the '9' partition on the 1st XDC disk always dies
Keywords: SVR3.1 XDC fsck fsdb

This is getting to be a bad habit here.  I have had the 3rd power
outage in a year.  Generally, the 3B2 is robust enough to survive
this.  Even when it comes up, the disks are barely munged.  Execpt for
one partition.  Grrrrr.

The "9" partition on the first XDC drive (/dev/dsk/cXd0s9) always gets
corrupted.  The disk is a Maxtor 2190 formatted for 120Mb, although
the prfconf thinks it's just a 72Mb drive.  Here's the partition info:
-----------------
* /dev/rSA/disk3 partition map

*     512 bytes/sector
*      18 sectors/track

       a      0    00     200610     75330    275939   /usr/local
---------------

and /scratch always gets killed.  Fsck bitches like this:

---------------
  /dev/rdsk/c10d0s9
  Size check: fsize 0 isize -2139082149
---------------

So, I know that the superblock is trashed.  Does anyone know fsdb well
enough to get me back on my way?  How about a way to preserve the
superblock (maybe a DD copy) that I can always put back in case of
emergencies?

It't getting so that I am wondering whether to use that 50Mb partiton
at all!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I've still got "demo" compilers for Microfocus and AcuCobol kicking
around somewhere.  All our cobol point-of-sale application software was
compiled and run on 3B2's for many years.  The demo compilers work
great, but you have to set the clock on your machine back to 1988 if
you want to use them. :-)  AcuCobol still supports the 3B2 - in fact
their latest 3B2 release was compiled right here on kopachuk (a 3B2-400)
this spring.

For use as a client, ie reading from another server with (t)rrn or rtin,

Do you have tcp/ip installed?  I think that is the only way to get

My AT&T 6300-PLUS machine is down with memory problem, and by Murphy's law,
the offending memory bank is not socketed. The good old one goes henceforth
for sale either in its entirety or by parts. Everything, except
the motherboard (a bit senile due to the memory loss) is in perfect shape
and worked flawlessly before the heart attack:

     --6300+ CPU with 1M RAM
     --1.2M floppy drive
     --ST-225 20M hard drive with Western Digital controller
     --AT&T 6300+ keyboard with mouse plugged directly into it.
     --AT@T monochrome (green) display
     --AT&T internal 1200 baud half-card modem with communications software

Asking $200 for the whole body. Separate organs are open for the best offers.
One condition: after you lower my hard disk into your system, I need to erase
my personal files.

Also for sale are

Subject: I need a graphics board of AT&T 6300 plus...

Hi,

Recently I encounter an AT&T 6300 plus which there is something wrong with
the display. When the system turns on, the display is striped with black,
white and blue colors. But we still could see the uncomplete system infor-
mation. I think the systme is OK and the graphics board is bad. Is there
someone here who could provide the graphics board or other related infor-
mation?


Thank you in advance.

Hi folks,

     I have a customer who may need to set up a huge number of
modem lines to service incoming calls to his UNIX system, and he
wants to find a system that already does this rather than roll
his own.  While we could probably do it ourselves for small
numbers of lines (say, 32), these may just not scale up very well
to handling several hundred modems.

     Shameless sales pitches from vendors who have experience
with will be very much accepted.

     Stephen

I've had this problem with V2 (300,310,400) systems.  There's nothing
wrong with your hard disk (do not attempt to adjust it.  We control
the horizontal, we control the vertical, but I digress).  This problem
of premature powerdown is usually caused by:
	loose I/O card
	loose I/O card-cage connection to motherboard
	loose memory board
	memory board clamp (I think the paint flakes off and starts
		shorting the memory cards.  Try removing the clamp.)

Try reseating these items and/or removing the memory clamp.  That
always fixes it for me.

Hi 
I hope this is the right place for this message. I have never seen any 
messages in this list, so i do not know what this list is about. I hope this 
is a list for  proteon routers !
We have a problem with finding WD8003EBT cards for these routers.
The reason for still using these cards, are that we are still running 
Ver 8.2 software with the old BOOT PROMS. This means we can't use the WD8013 
card.

Has anybody an idea were i can find WD8003EBT cards.
Or what other card we can use in the place of  WD8003EBT.
