The most famous rant on this topic (actually BSD, not GNU) was by Rob Pike, "UNIX Style: cat -v considered harmful" I couldn't find the thing itself (it's from a Usenix conference in 1983) but there's a .ps version of a contemporary paper with most of the content under http://gaul.org/files/cat_-v_considered_harmful.html Dennis

[pups] Seeking info on SBC11/21+ Falcon Plus

by Magnus Danielson

Dear all, I'm sitting here with a M7676 SBC11/21+ Falcon Plus card. It came with a BA11-VA chassi and a custom A/D card (controlled over the parallel bus). I have been scanning the Internet a number of times, but have had no luck in finding much material related. It has the T11 (DC310) chip, a pair of DC 319 serial chips and some unknown chip called DC331 "FALCON". I've found a few related hints about it in the Micronotes (about the 82S100 PLA chip among other things). I've also done some reverse-engineering, so part of the schematic is know to me. But, since I have no plans of reverse-engineering the DC331 chip getting the hands on some hard documents would be much apprechiated. I also have a DEQNA card that I got from a friend. I am missing out on the AUI port, so any information (schematic would be great) beyond the user guide is appreachiated. Cheers, Magnus

simh 6th ed?

by Tim Newsham

Hi, I'm playing with simh and the 6th ed software pack (uv6swre http://simh.trailing-edge.com/software.html) It turns out that it didn't have /usr/sys, so I grabbed sources from http://miffy.tom-yam.or.jp/2238/rl/ (they had an RL image and a kernel patched with rl support). Also strangely the kernel doesnt print the normal (c) when booting. Is the unix kernel that comes with the software patch hacked up? Anyway, I'm now trying to build a kernel and having no success. In /usr/sys running "sh run" works properly and it makes a bunch of /*unix files. When I try to boot them though it just hangs. I get no output. I've tried building rkunix with and without the m45.s bits commented out. Has anyone had luck with building the kernel? Any pointers? Tim Newsham http://www.lava.net/~newsham/

Help about a DATA GENERAL ECLIPSE MV-7800 with DG-UX

by asbesto

Hi all, we recently received this fantastic machine for our computer museum. We need some help because we can't find any documentation about the "console cable", to connect a tty terminal to it, and make it boot (or test the cpu, or whatever) we think we have only a part of the manuals, so we can't make progress booting it and we don't want to make casual testing ... can someone help? some documentation images can be found here: http://dyne.org/~asbesto/missionecompiuta1/ http://dyne.org/~asbesto/missionecompiuta2/ http://dyne.org/~asbesto/missionecompiuta3/ sorry for some crazy and funny images - we are really crazy people :D -- [ asbesto : IW9HGS : freaknet medialab : radiocybernet : poetry ] [ http://freaknet.org/asbesto http://papuasia.org/radiocybernet ] [ http://www.emergelab.org :: NON SCRIVERMI USANDO LE ACCENTATE ] [ *I DELETE* EMAIL > 100K, ATTACHMENTS, HTML, M$-WORD DOC, SPAM ]

unix non disclosure clauses

by martin hardie

Hi i joined this list as I found some intersting stuff in its archives and I am working on my Phd in law concerning the logic and rhetoric of FOSS and i thought maybe the list would be a good source of knowledgable information. I am currently proofing a draft thesis chapter I have put together on the early history of Unix and have a question or two arising from text of the early licences. The 1974 licence to the Catholic University in Holland (I guess this was to Andy Tanenbaum) has a confidentiality clause in it. I presume this was a standard clause. That is interesting from lots of perspectives - the myth of a unix commons, which we both know is a myth in the GNUish sense although people like Lessig still say it in their tomes; and from the perspective that copyright or patents where not used to cover the code but confidential inofrmation - this resonates with my work with Aboriginal artists in Australia and their communal system of knowledge production and with the notion of trust and equity which I am building towards in this research. But right now what interests me is a bit more in the context of contemporary "licence fetishism" or the way licences and IP were viewed back then. I am sort of trying to deal with the way that many commentators (like Lessig, Wayner and even Raymond) credit changes in unix and linux to legal command. I just don't buy that but position them more in the context of the globalisation of production. Anyway, the question - the licences prohibited dissemination of Unix to third parties - eg in the case of universities the system could only be given/shown to students and employees. How then was the question of bugs, fixes and updates dealt with? Did everything come back to Bell and then get dealt with from there. IE the question of who controllled "R&D"? Did universities talk directly to each other? And if so when did this become a problem for AT&T? If at all? If they did was there any conception that they were breaking the licence conditions? I am also intrigued about Raymond's comment that Ken quietly shipped out copies of the program with a note "love Ken". Is this based in fact? was it a covert operation? And is it tied into the matter of turning a blind eye to licence conditions eg the unis talking to each other directly? Is that clear? If the uni's were talking to each other and Ken was sending out gift wrapped parcels ......... maybe there was a commons but not one annointed by law..... Thanks Martin

Re: [TUHS] Why you should not be wasting electricity powering old computers

by Kenneth Stailey

--- Kenneth Stailey <kstailey(a)yahoo.com> wrote: > http://kimaura.com/peakoil/peakoil-56k.ram Good Old 7-bit ASCII transcript of the dialog in that streaming video. Doesn't have any of the charts so there are places you will find you can't follow it since Roscoe is just point to a chart. Excerpts from the US Congressional Record follow: OIL PRODUCTION -- (House of Representatives - March 14, 2005) The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under a previous order of the House, the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Gilchrest) is recognized for 5 minutes. Mr. GILCHREST. Mr. Speaker, in just a few minutes, the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Bartlett) will address the House for some period of time talking about energy sources, oil in particular, and the fact that many experts say that oil production, especially in the United States, but actually throughout the world, oil production of conventional oil under current patterns is expected to grow at a rate much faster, that means the use of oil by the world community is supposed to grow much faster than oil discovery production. [Time: 19:45] What is clear, because we are not sure exactly when that peak will come in oil production, some say it is peaking right now, some say it will peak in 10 years, the amount of oil we get out of the ground will exceed the demand; but what is clear is that at some point in this century, world oil production will peak and then begin to decline. There is uncertainty about the date because many countries that produce oil do not provide credible data on how big their reserves are. But more uncertainty calls for more caution, not less; and caution in this case means working to develop alternatives. When production of conventional oil peaks, we can expect a large increase in the price up to the price of the substitutes, whether so-called unconventional oil or renewable fuels. Although increasing domestic production may ease oil dependence slightly, the United States is only 3 percent of the world's estimated oil reserves and uses 25 percent of the world's oil. I want to explain just from the perspective of the United States the huge increase in energy demand in the last century. I am going to use the word ``quadrillion.'' Quadrillion is a number. If I put 1 followed by 15 zeroes, I have the number quadrillion. To measure energy use in a country, we use BTUs, British thermal units. A new furnace, whether oil or natural gas, you see the BTU to determine how much energy it is going to use. When you use BTUs to determine how much energy a country uses, you use a short term for quadrillion called ``quads.'' In 1910, the United States used 7 quads of BTUs. That is 7 quadrillion BTUs. In 1950, the United States used 35 quadrillion BTUs. In 2005, the United States uses 100 quadrillion BTUs, and we are accelerating that. We are increasing demand for oil for our energy needs. The world right now, 2005, uses 345 quadrillion BTUs, an enormous amount of energy. We know today that our appliances, whether a washing machine, a refrigerator or dishwasher, we know they are much more efficient than they ever were, certainly 20, 30, 40 years ago; and yet we are using more electricity, not less. We know that automobiles and trucks and our transportation is much more efficient than it was 20 years ago, and yet the demand is increasing. We burn more coal, more natural gas. Each home, as efficient as each home is today, burns much more oil and electricity because of the demand on energy needs. We are not decreasing by getting efficient. Because our demand is greater, we are using more and more. The question is if we are increasing demand and production is going to peak now or in the next decade or two and our production goes down while the demand goes up, especially with oil reserves, are we at the early stages of the twilight for oil as an energy source? And if we are, what do we do? Well, the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Bartlett) will speak on a number of aspects of oil production decline. We will talk much further about the details of the solution to the problems of [Page: H1409] our energy decline, but I want to close with two last things: How do we harness a new alternative energy source and make it replace what we have been using for more than 2 centuries? How do we do that? We do it with initiative, ingenuity, intellect, vision, and leadership. [portions deleted] OIL DEMAND -- (House of Representatives - March 14, 2005) MR. ROSCOE BARTLETT A couple of Congresses ago, I was privileged to chair the Energy Subcommittee on Science. One of the first things I wanted to do was to determine the dimensions of the problem. We held a couple of hearings and had the world experts in. Surprisingly from the most pessimistic to the most optimistic, there was not much deviation in what the estimate is as to what the known reserves are out there. It is about 1,000 gigabarrels. That sounds like an awful lot of oil. But when you divide into that the amount of oil which we use, [Page: H1410] about 20 million barrels a day, and the amount of oil the rest of the world uses, about 60 million barrels a day, as a matter of fact, the total now is a bit over the 80 million that those two add up to. About 83 1/2 , I think. If you divide that into the 1,000 gigabarrels, you come out at about 40 years of oil remaining in the world. That is pretty good. Because up until the Carter years, during the Carter years, in every decade we used as much oil as had been used in all of previous history. Let me repeat that, because that is startling. In every decade, we used as much oil as had been used in all of previous history. The reason for that, of course, was that we were on the upward side of this bell curve. The bell curve for usage, only part of it is shown on this chart. That is the green one down here, the bell curve for usage. Notice that we are out here now about 2005. Where is it going? The Energy Information Agency says that we are going to keep on using more oil. This green line just going up and up and up is a projection of the Energy Information Agency. But that cannot be true. That cannot be true for a couple of reasons. We peaked in our discovery of oil way back here in the late sixties, about 1970. In our country it peaked much earlier than that, by the way. But the world is following several years behind us. And the area under this red curve must be the same as the area under the green curve. You cannot pump any more oil than you have found, quite obviously. If you have not found it, you cannot pump it. If you were to extend this on out where they have extended their green line, even if it turned down right there at the end of that green line, the area under the green curve is going to be very much larger than the area under the red curve. That just cannot be. We will see in some subsequent charts that we probably have reached peak oil. Let me mention that M. King Hubbert looked at the world situation. He was joined by another scientist, Colin Campbell, who is still alive, an American citizen who lives in Scotland. Using M. King Hubbert's predictive techniques, oil was predicted to reach a maximum in about 1995, without perturbations. But there were some perturbations. One of the perturbations was 1973, the Arab oil embargo. Other perturbations were the oil price shocks and a worldwide recession that reduced the demand for oil. And so the peak that might have occurred in 1995 will occur later. How much later? That is what we are looking at this evening. There is a lot of evidence that suggests that if not now, then very quickly we should see world production of oil peak. [portions deleted] What now? Where do we go now? One observer, Matt Savinar, who has thoroughly researched the options, and this is not the most optimistic assessment, by the way, but may be somewhat realistic, he starts out by saying, Dear Readers, civilization as we know it is coming to an end soon. I hope not. This is not the wacky proclamation of a doomsday cult, apocalypse Bible sect or conspiracy theory society. Rather, it is a scientific conclusion of the best-paid, most widely respected geologists, physicists and investment bankers in the world. These are rational, professional, conservative individuals who are absolutely terrified by the phenomenon known as global peak oil. [portions deleted]

JPLDIS - still extant?

by Wesley Parish

Got old MVII critter and wanna bring up a 4.3BSD family thingy.....but no tape..

by Robertdkeys＠aol.com

Having fallen into that trap of another one dollar vax.....of the Qbus variety, and, wanting to try to bring up another round of some sort of 4.3BSD related thingy, but, with no tape drive or tape cartridges, can anyone come up with a dd'able root image that is known to work on an MVII critter, AND, have a footprint of 1mb or less (i.e., a disklabel of only 1mb size or less)? Sadly, all my tapes have decomposed to dust, and I am down to one questionable TK50 tape drive. I can get a boot of the Quasijarus boot, off a floppy, but it won't read a miniroot that was dd'd onto a swap partition correctly. I can boot a NetBSD 1.4.1 and work back to a NetBSD-1.0A which is usable to unroll file systems onto a drive, but, it won't boot the kernel correctly into a 4.3BSDish system. I still need the correct boot blocks and boots. I did try an image from vaxpower's root, and that booted and ran mostly OK, but, it had a label set up for a 4 gig drive, and my controller has early enough proms that it won't handle anything larger than a 1 gb drive. I tried a couple of other images from here and there, but the boot blocks are not quite right to run on my vax. So, anyone have handy a dd'able root with boot blocks, set up for a 1gb or smaller drive, that is known to work on an MVII critter for some flavor of 4.3BSD (4.3, Tahoe, Reno, Quasijarus) that I could use to get my machine up? The only constraints on the image are that it must have a label set up for a 1gb or smaller drive, and it must have a usable ftp from usr/bin dropped into bin, so I can ftp in the rest of the system after booting up the root image. One other thought might be to create a bootable dd image with a root only system that contains all the requisite user bits on say a 100mb or so root file system. That is non-standard, from the traditionalists point of view, but, at least the system would come up essentially running, and complete. It could then be partitioned and cloned off onto a standardly partitioned drive, as a next step. Like a fool, the last time I ran the system, about 5 years ago, I religiously copied off all the bits onto cd, except for a dd'able boot/root image... drat! Kick, Kick, Kick... etc.....(:+{{..... Any pointers to such an image, or anyone that has a system up that might create me such an image, would be greatly appreciated. With the EOL of many tapes at hand, I suspect that it may be the only good way to bring up a 4.3BSDish system on a Qbus box, and we might should save up a such usable image in the TUHS archives.

Intergraph 2700

by Paul Ward

Hello all, A friend of mine has liberated an old Intergraph 2700 workstation from a basement. The system looks to be in fine condition and boots up to multiuser+X. However, there appears to be a problem. I am not sure whether the problem is hardware or software, but the digitizer puck seems to have stopped sending anything back to the workstation. I have to say that I am not 100% sure how Intergraph digitizers are wired up -- the cable from the digitizer is run via a split cable, so one can be wired up to the mouse port, and the other to the RS232 port, right now I have plugged both in. Is there anyone with Intergraph experience who can enlighten me in regards to the cables, or maybe some diagnostics that can be done on the puck? The puck is a 12-button grey creature, and the digitizer is a Kurta XLC (sorry, I am not infront of the system right now, and can't remember the model number). Another thing to note is that I can't recover the root password without some sort of pointer device input, and thus cannot log in to diagnose any possible software problems. -- Best regards, Paul mailto:asmodai@ao.mine.nu http://ao.mine.nu/ (NeXTmail) mailto:nextmail@ao.mine.nu

Sprite OS trouble.

by Jochen Kunz

Hi. I am trying to bring up a Sprite cluster. [1] I was able to get the demo system running on a SPARCstation 1+ by dd-ing the boot image to a disk. Now I wane label an additional disk, make LFS, ... make the new disk bootable to get more free disk space then I have on the premade boot image. But I can't get a label on the disk with labeldisk nor did I succeed using fsmakeprompt. The later crashes... Next step is to bring a SPARCstation 2, an IPX and two ELCs into the cluster. Is there someone out there with Sprite experience who can help me? Additionaly I was not able to get the PMAX image to work on my DECstation 5000/240 nor my DECstation 3100. Any ideas? Do I really need a DECstation 5000/200 for this? [1] http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/Research/Projects/sprite/ A mixed architecture, distributed single system image OS capable of process migration that presented the cluster to a user as a single, large multiprocessor machine.

Question for the List Manager/Owner

by Gregg C Levine

Hello from Gregg C Levine Question: Will the list server drop subscribers, if they have not posted anything to the list? Or are other reasons taken into circumstances? Consider this, for any number of reasons, two of my e-mail addresses for this ISP are subscribed to this list, some time ago a posting arrived at Address #2, but Address #1 didn't receive it. Repeated queries to the list server's management site, didn't provide me with my password, nor did entering what I thought it was when I first subscribed to it, succeed. However my first clew that something was up, happened when it accepted my requests to rejoin it. So when you have the time to look into the matter, can you investigate. FYI, the address in doubt is this one. ------------------- Gregg C Levine hansolofalcon(a)worldnet.att.net ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."
