We have a couple of 240s and a 120 set up with VT220 compatibles as
consoles. I agree with the comment about removing the graphics adaptors
(our systems were ordered without). The consoles are plugged into port
3, and we have null modem cables.

Hope this helps.

  I'm looking for a (free) thread package (without preemptive scheduling)
which would run on a DECstation 5000 with Ultrix. Unfortunately the method
based on the setjmp() / longjmp() I used successfully on 386 and Sparcs
failed.

  I would enjoy any help on my problem.

  Thanks in advance,

Daniel.

Essentially, I need an *interrupt* routine that gets invoked on
the ESC key.  It seems to me that signal() is the way to go, 
but I don't know how I can define signals SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2.

I've had a response suggesting fcntl(), but that seems like
a routine to capture (redirect) the entire keyboard, something
that I don't want to do - I just want the program to be sensitive
to 1 key (signal generated by ESC).

And, btw, this is not a homework assignment.... I'm a graduate
student working as a research assistant, and I don't wish to 
re-invent the wheel -- it seems like this ought to be easily
accomplished, just that the signal man page is a little vague
on how to define SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2.  Right now I'm using
signal(SIGINT,handler), but this makes it very difficult to 
debug the code since SIGINT breaks the debugger.

Thanks in advance for suggestions (and thanks for the fcntl suggestion).
Please email and post optionally.

Also there are 4 dip switches on the back side I need identified also.

Date: 28 Sep 92 11:57:01 +1000
Organization: Monash University - Australia.

Hi,

As a result of buying a new (small) home, I no longer have room for my PDP-11
system, and so I must reluctantly pass it on to a caring individual who will
play with it proudly :-)

I got the system for the cost of a trailer to take it away, and intend to pass
it on at the same cost.  You come and get it and it's yours.  Some things I
purchased, and these are being offered at or near the indicated price:

Decsystem comprising:

PDP-11/23+, 256kB memory
2 x RL02 hard drives
4 x serial lines
~160 Meg of RL02 disk packs
VT100 terminal
Tek 4013(?) Graphics terminal with full manuals
2 x RX01 floppy drives		($30)
~150 floppy disks - have been degaussed, so need to have timing marks written
back onto them.

RT-11 V 5.05
RT-11 V 5.04 Manual set, still in shipping box
(with 2 x RX50 system disk sets)		($150)

Assorted PDP, VAX Hardware and software technical manuals

Any interested party can have the system for the cost of carting it away, and
if you do it quickly, I'll reduce the costs of the manuals and drives.

All in good order, all working well, all used regularly until just recently. 
As well as that, I have a source for other bits and pieces you might want.

Please note that this system is in Victoria, AUSTRALIA - it is the size and
weight of a large filing cabinet and so shipping would be expensive!!

PS.	I'll separate the units if absolutely necessary, but priority will be
given to those who want the lot.  I'll also help with packing/unpacking.

   I might be able to buy a used Vaxstation 2 and would like to know more
about this machine.
Does it run Ultrix, VMS, either ?  (I know many Vaxstations 3100 can run
either.)
What kind of cpu/fpu does it have ?  What kind of performance can be expected ?
The machine has a 85 Meg HD and a tape "subsystem".  Are these SCSI devices, or
some other kind ? 
What kinds of ports does it have ? (serial, parallel, ethernet, SCSI ... )
I don't know whether a keyboard and monitors are included.  If not, what kinds
are needed ?  Can the machine be used via a terminal connected to a serial
port ?
Does a used machine carry a "right-to-use" type of license ala Sun ?
If the boot tapes are available, does that imply a license ?
Is any free software available for this machine, e.g., X ?

I used to be a definite. But now I am planning to use a Sun 3/50 (which
I can also run mach on) as a graphics card/ethernet connection.

Now I am am a "proabably will, subject to various IFs". Principally,
if it is cheap enough. I would be rather interested in using it for
multi-processor mach. (Which probably means putting a 532 instead of a
GX32 in there).

Well, the double run would be nice (in terms of the final product
being bug free) but I suspect with our numbers, it won't be very
feasible.

Presumably, 25MHz is possible if the same speed parts are used as in the
PC532?

Experience with writing drivers for the dp8490 leads me to suggest that
a counter to count DRQ's would be a really good idea. 8 bits would be
enough to be useful. Since we should have control of the software
at both ends, the absence of such a counter is less of a problem.

	Well, I guess that I, too, would be interested in the ET532...
it seems that a "proper" OS is not too far off, and that makes network
connectivity much more interesting.

	On a different note: is anybody doing anything about a
graphics card, either SCSI- or ethernet-based? There may well be an
existing free design for either of these solutions.

I am most certainly interested in at least one.
There may also be some interest in this board as an (hopefully) inexpensive
terminal server.  I'm sure I'm not the first to make this observation, but if
packaged right, the ET532 would be a great addition to many serial-starved
workstations (like my NeXT).  Of course, the PC532 isn't so starved, but it
needs that ol' ethernet to make it's ports available to other machines.

Ok, it is my turn to talk...  I would be able to make a much better decision
if I knew the cost of the board. (Not the parts yet, that could come
later.  But if the cost of the parts was known, it might help.)

I am interested.

I definately want an ET532 card.  Just let me know what I need to do ...

Put me down for a board!

Let's plan to do TCP/IP in ROM on the board, maybe with applications living
in the PC-532?  That way this design could "take on a life of its own"...

When ever people say "all you have to do is..." run a hundred miles!

The real problem is extracting the information on what scsi commands
it expects to do what from the supplier/manufacturer. You might have more
luck being closer to the source, but mostly you just get blank looks
if you talk about getting documentation for these things (other than
how to install them on a mac).
