	I am a problem to set up PC Decwindow 4.1 to display 256 color.

My hardware:

	486-33,Trident 1M display card,8M Ram,3Com 8 bit Ethernet Card,80M HD.

Software:

	MS-DOS 5.0,Decnet-PC,Decwindow 4.1.

HOST:
Sun-SPArc 10


	I am using A-Head 16 color driver. I want to use "xv" to view some gif in
256 color.
	In the config program, I found that only 8514A display card can display
256 color. Are there any new display driver for PC-Decwindow 4.1 ?
Are there any program can emulate 8514a on Trident 1M display card ?

It's a member of the PDP-8 family.  You probably want to post in the
alt.sys.pdp8 newsgroup to get in touch with other DECmate owners and
find software.  There's a FAQ for that newsgroup that lists the kinds
of stuff you might want to know.

Another correspondent also mentioned the Hayes Mode vs. the DF03 Mode.

These modems are evidently in DF03 mode, because they say 'Ready' and
not 'OK'.  My other correspondent thought 'ENA AT' was the command to
put them in Hayes Mode, but that can't be right, because 'ENA' just
gives the Phone Numbers stored in Registers 'E', 'N', and 'A'.

I found that ^G causes them to go Off Hook and report 'Attached', but
they are just pulling dial tome and are not actually dialing or 
connecting to anything.

So I'm still baffled and waiting for further advice and suggestions.

	I have had a similar experience with a Micro PDP-11/73 (The 
connectors are similar). What happens is this: Due to low contact pressure
a small carbon deposit begins to form between a pin and the contact
in the connector, thus reducing the amount of current it carries. Because
the power wires are paralleled, this places more of a load on the others,
in fact to the point that the contact rating is exceeded. At some point
one wire carries most of the load and it burns down.
	Repair for this problem was quite simple for the PDP's. I cleaned
the pins and installed a newer revision connector (It had a much higher
contact pressure), although using the same rev cable will probably work
for the next ten years anyway.

You might also check to see if the DF224 is in the AT (hayes compatible)

I have a DECMATE I (PDP-8) and an RX02 Pedestal.  I currently use the
DECMATE as a VT52, but I was wondering if this machine could actually be
used for telecomm or anything else apart from word processing.  The word
processing program that came with it was very nice, but just about
--EVERY-- keypress caused disk I/O to occur, which lead me to wonder if the
DECMATE I had any addressable RAM for data, apart from the program space.
Are there any utilities or programming languages made for this thing, or do
I essentially have a dataterminal?  I realize that 4K to 8K was probably
considered an expansive amount of memory back in the days when this thing
was made, but I am wondering if it can do anything else?  (Games written
with a PDP-8 assembler, perhaps?  LIFE ?  LEM ?  SPACEWAR! ?  PONG ?....)
Is the RX02 Pedestal useful for anything?  (that is, assuming I could find
some floppies for it....)  I'm curious....

The DECMate II (2) is a computer based upon the Harris 6120 CPU.  This CPU implements
a complete PDP-8 CPU on one VLSI chip.  It is binary compatible with all PDP-8 soft-
ware.  The DECMate II is provided with two seperate memory areas the main memory, 32K
by 12 bits and the core memory, 32K by 12 bits.  The core is where the operating 
system resides.  It was sold mainly as a word processing station but can run the OS8
operating system available through DECUS.  Internally it holds 2 or 4 5 1/4" floppy
drives or 2 floppies and a hard drive with proper controller card.  It also can support
an APU, auxillary processor unit (Z-80 and CPM based), and a graphics card (color) that
supports REGIS graphics.  Standard video is VT102 monochrome.  All in all this was a good machine but came out a little too late.  If more info is desired let me know

Unless there is an officially supported RD-type disk larger than
the RD54 (180mb), I doubt it.

I have some DEC Scholar DF224 Modems which DEC has donated to a local

sequence ^A^BT<phone-number>^M as expected.  Others return 'Ready'
upon ^A^B and do not go off-hook, but can still be used if I manually
dial with a desk-telephone.  I have no documentation on these modems.

Can someone tell me if the non-dialing modems are in some kind of
'maintenance mode' or other state, and how to return them to normal
operation?  Or are they just malfunctioning?

The modems which return 'Ready' display stored phone numbers if I type
^A^B<any-letter-from-A-to-O>.

Many thanks.

There *was* an ftp site for the Bow, with lots of really good PD-software.
Unfortunately all this was erased a while ago when the administrator of this
software, moved. He didn't had a chance to get a backup of it before it was
destroyed. (was located at solbourne.solbourne.com)
Hopefully he will be able to get the software from other people and locate it
on another machine.

Yah, they are all DF 224-AA.  Moreover, the ones that don't dial have
phone numbers stored on registers A through O.  If I send ^A^B and then
any letter from A to O, I get a readout of the stored numbers there.

When I manually dial to connect them, some of them report 'Attached'
and 'Disconnected' while others report only 'A' or 'D', so there
must obviously be some command mode for changing such configuration
parameters as Terse/Verbose and the stored numbers.  I suspect the
ones that aren't dialing are in the command mode instead of the
normal operating mode.

I totally disagree with your comments ... not because I'm working for DEC
.. I can be very critic about some stuff which happens in my company ...

In this case, you should put the question in its context ... 
Believe it or not, but we have a lot of requests from customers for OSF/1
Alpha. This means that we have a lot of work to answer all different aspects
and we cannot do everything in one day ! We have to put some priorities ! 
The mail you are speaking about has to be putted in this context : asking for
some feedback to put a priority.

And even if you feel that this kind of questions is 'pathetic', be sure
that a lot of people inside DEC knows very well what they have to do to
be successfull inside the Unix market. And one of this person is Bob Palmer
himself !

But I totally agree that we should tell in a more positive way all things
we are doing internally to answer your problems.

I'm working for DEC since 5 years, and worked before for SUN during 4 years.
Believe me ... Things are changing dramatically inside DEC and in the good 
direction ...

A list is maintained in ascending order by system id and the joining node 
just picks the first available "optimal" cluster member in the list. There 
is some checking involved how "optimal" is defined, like:
	o Protocol level (mixed verison clusters)
	o Eco level
	o Shutdown status

Actually, although this may sound like an elementary question, ths solution is
not as simple.  First, it can be done, because TPU does it.  When someone
PHONEs me the message is displayed at the bottom of my screen, not in the
middle of my text.  I don't know the exact mechanism used, but I can make a
good stab at it, and the rest you can get from the documentation set.  First,
open a channel to OPCOM's mailbox.  BTW, this is part I'm unsure about.  It may
be a system service other than $ASSIGN, or may be to someone else's mailbox. 
Check keywords operator message, mailbox, and broadcast in your index.  Next,
issue a $QIO to it with a completion AST.  Now that it's set up, every time you
get a broadcast message of some type (actually, I think any type) your routine
gets activated, and you can check the class of the message, text, source, etc.
If it is from PHONE, check the content of the message for the username and
compare it against your list.  If there is a match, send a message to the user
(the one running the program) that a friendly user is calling, and do whatever
you want next, including lib$spawn-ing a PHONE ANSWER command.  Be sure to
reactivate you're qio so the next message gets intercepted, too.  Excuse me for
any technical details I've gotten wrong; I've never tried this.  Good luck!

I have sent the controller out to DECMAILER, but the same error persists.  I've also tried a second RL02 drive just in case - same error.  The problem is that I do not have any hardware documentation at all.  Does any one out there still have these beasts up and running?  If so, could you please send me a more verbose statement of ERROR 20, or an

y other insights (other than scrap it!).  The controller I have is marked M7762 (RLV11 I think).

Please e-mail responses directly to:
