Hi all,
  A friend has a little problem with some TK-50 tapes... Yeah, he put them
in a drive,:-( , and the drive SEEMS to have erased the header/pre-amble
from the tapes the drive has ee replaced and now he can't read the tapes.

So, is it AT ALL possile to recover the its off the tapes i this case?
Can the TK-50 be conned into reading the tape and ignoring the lack of
pre-amble? Can someone in DEC do this for them if need be? They have
a lot of mass-spectrometer data they realy would like back.

Reply by mail, will summarize...

Happy Holidays all!

     As a Christmas present, I received an old 20 Mb MFM hard drive (Computer
Memories Inc. 6426-S) that's supposed to work.  Is there a relatively
inexpensive q-bus controller available that'd handle such a beast.  I assume
one couldn't hook one up to an RQDX-2(3).  Anything from Emulex or Dilog
that one might likely find surplus (i.e. more or less cheap)?  Emulation
wouldn't be critical, as long as it were useable by RSX, but MSCP or RL-01/02
would be nice as I could boot from it if need be.  Many thanks for any and all
leads!

Nope -- it emulates RP02 drives. Jeff, the original poster, and I got
the emulex card to work with each of the 5300 drives (so we know all the
hardware involved works). We cannot get the Dilog DU202 controller to format 
a 5300, because we do not know the format of the header table required
in memory at the commencement of formnatting. The manual does not tell the
format for the sector size byte, or the overall organization of the header
table. Dilog won't tell us either, only offering to sell a disk that has a 
format program on it for $250 (more than the whole 80meg SMD drive is worth,
if you ask me). 

So, we still ask to hear from anyone with experience (or at this point,
anyone willing to sell an SMD controller an SMD controller with good doc's 
and/or formatting software useable with a Kennedy 5300 3-platter SMD drive). 

Thanks a bunch,

There has been a thread about what SC02 emulates. Here's my $0.02:

As far as I remember, there's no such beast as SC02. 
There are SC02/A and SC02/B, the former emulating RK06/07,
the latter RP02/03. I ran into this with my SC03's.

I have three DEC BA11-M Qbus enclosures which I would like to sell or
give away.  Two where used as 11/03 systems,  while the third was used
as a Qbus expansion chassis.  The BA11-M has 4 quad 18-bit Qbus slots.
If someone would like to have the enclosure,  plus 11/03 CPU, 64KB,
bootstrap terminator, console I/O, plus hardware manuals and schematics,
then I'll let them go for $75US each.  A 22-bit 11/23 CPU board would
be an additional $100US.  Shipping is not included.

If someone just wants the empty BA11-M enclosure,  I am willing to
let that go for *FREE* if UPS shipping is prepaid.  I also have a spare
11/03 power supply which I would like to give away.

I have lots of stuff,  so please ask if you are interested.

Welcome  to  MX-List@WKUVX1.BITNET,  an electronic mailing list established
for the discussion of the Message Exchange mail software.

This is a routine posting you will see from time to time on MX-List.

The  MX-List  archives  are maintained at ARCHIVES@WKUVX1.BITNET.  To get a
copy of any month's postings, send an e-mail message  with  the  body  SEND
MX-List.yyyy-mm  to  ARCHIVES@WKUVX1.BITNET,  where  "yyyy" is the year and
"mm" is the numeric representation of the month.  For example, the  message
SENDME MX-List.1992-04 will send the archives for April 1992.

To  remove  yourself  from  the mailing list, send the following command to
LISTSERV@WKUVX1.BITNET:

  SIGNOFF MX-List

It looks like a CMU-Tek error code.  From the CMU V6.5 NETERROR.MSG file,
it would appear to be NET$_DSFMTERR.  It's different for V6.4; I don't know
if it's different for V6.6.  You can check it yourself by digging out the
NETERROR.MSG file for the version you're running, using

    $ MESSAGE/LIST/NOOBJ NETERROR.MSG

to generate the listing, then SEARCHing the listing file for 08638182.

Subject: Something is stripping blanks....
Date: 24 Dec 92 08:20:48 EST
Organization: Doyle, Munroe Consultants, Inc., Hudson, MA

I've performed a series of experiments and something is
stripping blanks from mail messages:

1. Sent a message containing:

aaaaaaaaaaa
           
bbbbbbbbbbb

to myself via UUCP%"munroe@dmc.com"

The "blank" line had been filled with spaces.

2. Checked the spool file, it had spaces in it.

3. Checked the copy self copy delivered by mail.  IT had spaces
in it.

4. When UUCP/MX delivered the mail, the spaces were gone.

So a few questions:

(1) is my experiment bogus?
(2) Does DECUS UUCP (or MX, since that's REALLY the entity that
had the message last) strip blanks?
(3) Is this behavior legal?
(4) Should it be stopped?

The following is the message I received.  I don't know if it's MX
or UUCP that's loosing the blanks.

        Five or six updates.  MX is now at V3.1C.  You have missed, at the
very least, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 3.0, and 3.1 plus a few "patch" releases.

Your definition of the logical FLQ_DIR is either missing or wrong,
most likely.  FLQ_DIR should point to the MX QUEUE directory
([MX.QUEUE], unless you specified some other directory at installation
time).

Also, you should make sure MX_MAILSHR and MX_MAILSHRP are defined as
MX_EXE:MX_MAILSHR and MX_EXE:MX_MAILSHRP respectively.

Here are the MX-related files my process has open after answering the
"To:	" prompt with an MX address, after I get the "Cc:	" prompt:
	DUD0:[MX.EXE]MX_MAILSHR.EXE
	DUD0:[MX.EXE]FLQ_SHR.EXE
	DUD0:[MX.EXE]MX_SHR.EXE
	DUD0:[MX.EXE]MX_MAILSHRP.EXE
	DUD0:[MX.QUEUE]SYSTEM_QUEUE.FLQ_CTL
	DUD0:[MX.QUEUE]6796.SRC_INFO
	DUD0:[MX.QUEUE]6796.HDR_INFO
	DUD0:[MX.QUEUE]6796.MSG_TEXT
	DUD0:[MX.EXE]MX_MSG.EXE
These involve the logical names:
	MX_MAILSHR
	MX_EXE
	MX_MAILSHRP
	FLQ_DIR
and any further logical names involved in translating them.  I'd check the
definitions of those logical names, if I were you.  Good luck.
