Crashme does write random values to memory, but then executes them as
code. This is to test both the robustness of the processor and the
reliability of the kernel's fault handlers.

This year?  Don't forget the ND (which came out a couple years ago, I think)  
that has not been upgraded, refunded (or recalled), and nothing by NeXT has  
been made to get any hardware compression on that beast.  NeXT won't even let  
out what that mystical expansion port does (is it still on there?)

More and more with NeXT, I get the feeling that the more new stuff NeXT might  
bring to market the more they'll see a series of hesitant buyers.  For myself,  
I am now very hesitant to jump on new offerings by NeXT only because they  
weren't so hesitant to screw the OD and ND buyers (and continue to screw recent  
ND buyers).

It's almost as if NeXT doesn't want us to buy certain things, yet they bring  
them out anyways....jeez.

Subject: NS3.0 Info - ManPages target in Digital Librarian
Date: Fri, 2 Oct 1992 05:55:29 GMT

Pardon the cross-post, but I know Digitial Librarian questions have been  
coming up in all three of these newsgroups, and I don't remember that any of  
them noticed the following.  I also don't remember seeing anything about it  
in the 3.0 release notes, though I must admit I haven't read all the notes  
yet.  Anyway, tonight's 3.0 tidbit is:

On a Release 2.x system, the Digital Librarian target for unix man pages was  
in the directory   /NextLibrary/Documentation/Unix/ManPages

That directory still exists on a system upgraded to Release 3.0, but it is  
not indexed for DigLib.  There is a *new* directory on Release 3.0, which is  
indexed for DigLib, and it's   /NextLibrary/Documentation/ManPages

( ** warning: I don't have a 3.0 system right here right now, so that
     might not be the right location.  It's something like that though).

So, for any accounts which existed *before* an upgrade to Release 3.0, the  
user will find themselves pointing at an unindexed version of the man pages.   
The solution is *not* to index the man pages directory, the solution is to  
remove the old target from your bookshelf and drag in the new location for  
an indexed ManPages target.

You can tell the difference between the two targets because the unindexed  
version is a generic folder icon, while the indexed version has the pretty  
"open unix book" icon.  The only hassle there is that every user will  
probably have to do this for themselves.

I suspect there might be a benefit from the new structure.  You could  
replace the old directory with a link to the same directory on the 3.0  
CD-ROM drive (thus freeing up space on your hard disk), and yet the  
*searches* from Digitial Librarian would still be looking and an index which  
is on the hard disk, so they'd be just as fast.  I haven't tried this idea,  
though it seems plausible.

No way.  The login and group lookups involved are much
faster, and the ls as a whole is too.  We've got huge passwd
and group files loaded and the speedup is quite
impressive.

A long ls of /etc used to take several minutes on our

The arrogance of this poster is astounding.  It's one
thing to complain about a problem, it's another to be as
insulting as this person has accomplished. 

The wonderful folks in NeXT's service department have gone
out of their way time and time again to handle problems we've
had with our NeXTs.  They have performed their jobs efficiently
and effectively every time we have called upon them.  The quality
of their response has more than once turned irritation with NeXT
into admiration.  I have personally had the pleasure of meeting
many of these fine, intelligent, top-notch people.  They are a
fine bunch by any standard, a credit to NeXT by any measure.

Dear NeXTers,
I've started a new job at NIST in Boulder, CO and need to get 
a workstation. In grad school I used an '040 cube with 64Mb of
RAM and a 640 MB Fujitsu (and of course an OD - it was an 'upgraded'
cube). I also owned a NeXTstation at home for a while (sold it).

Here's my situation: I have to get a workstation _soon_ since the gov't's
fiscal year begins in Oct and all the funds get spent quick.

Everyone here used SPARCs, so they're pushing me in that direction; hard.
My main uses are: Mathematica, mathematical modelling of wave propagation
(i.e. lots of numerical integration of complex functions), image processing,
word processing, spreadsheet, etc. 

The SPARC systems under consideration are the IPX and (maybe) the Sparc 10-31
which is considerably faster than ANY NeXT.
Either machine will need a C/C++ compiler, FORTRAN and Mathematica.

Now the hard part; how to sell my leaders on a NeXT...?

Well, I think it goes more like: The recording industry being very very

This "sign" at the University (of Washington) bookstore has been
placed there fairly recently.  We were the first people to buy a NeXT
through them and that certainly was never mentioned (yes, we have it
at home).  So we asked a bookstore employee about it and he said that
NeXT was in the process of getting its certification for home use.
Also, the sign was placed there because of complaints from competitors
who want the U Bookstores student customers or something.  No, these
competitors wouldn't give the educational discount.  Not that the
University Bookstore gives you the best discount.  So, in a nutshell,
I was told to ignore the sign as it was there to placate the
opposition.

And we've never had a problem with electronic interference from our
NeXT.  From our z19 on the other hand...

Wrong! Yes it forks, and each son writes random bytes to KNOWN location  
and then tries to execute this random code. BTW I hope (and believe) that

Thanks to all those who responded.  The easiest way to get rid of the hard-
ware password is to do the following:

	Remove the lithium battery.

	Put the battery in the opposite way for 2 or 3 seconds. (Or simply
	leave it out for a while.)

	Return the battery to its original orientation.

Unfortunately, this DOES erase the ROM monitor's parameters.

There is also a program that will find out the password.

Given that there's little hope that my CD-ROM drive would arrive
anytime soon, I started looking for alternatives.
Being one of the lucky few who has a NEC CD-R 77 (doesn't work with
a NeXT), I borrowed a CHINON CDS-430 and all seemed well.

So I proceeded to use the CD-ROM Tools to upgrade my mach kernel.
Only to find out that the CHINON doesn't work either with a NeXT.
(Boy! there's a lot of weird SCSI implementations out there!
Anyone want's to write a BAD SCSI implemetation driver?).
So here I find myself, with a 3.0 kernel and NO UPGRADE. To make
matters worse, I seem to have lost all sound capabilities. So much
for that.
My NeXT is now mute - weird feeling.
