232-TTL, locally?
by soup
Anyone know of a hobby/electronics shop where I could get a 232-TTL
dongle, board or kit? Even just a bare MAX232 IC would be cool.
I don't want to have to drive up to you-do-it, that's the only place I
can think of that's left...
Take care,

When I was teenager a Model T Ford was an old car. My friend bought one for
$25. He painted it yellow and orange, cranked it up and rode it around town
with his girl friend in the passenger's seat and a case of beer in the
rumble seat. Some years later we realized how much fun that was.
Same's true for computers.

You have to admit yellow and orange would be cooler than the gray and
desaturated purple, though.

How "local"? Is Pawtucket, RI too far for you? Jabour Electronics might have
one, but I'm not sure if that's any closer to you than you-do-it.

Unfortunately, eli is almost entirely computer stuff now, they used to
be randomly good for surplus.
Thanks to all replies! I ended up heading to you-do-it. They only had
some MAX clone ICs, but good enough, worked out in the end.
Take care,

Two more questions....
by Ken Jones
My goal is to get Fedora 12-Beta up and running on my ULTRA1 Sparc. When I
tried installing it the system did not like my DISC 1.
1. I would like to check the checksums on the six CD's that I made from
your fedora 12-Beta source. I read that the only way is to shutdown, do
"STOP a" and type "Linux mediacheck". My system does not recognize the
"Linux mediacheck" command. Is there no way to do this operation from
within a running Aurora system?
2. I have checked. I really have two identical Aurora systems on my two
hard drives. The older one on the 17Gig drive from the ULTRA1 that died
does not boot correctly. The newer version on the 3.4 Gig disk is from last
week's successful installation of that same antique five CD .iso set. That
new installation had to be limited because of a problem with a language file
supporting emacs.
I would like to be running a modern Aurora, but still keep my archive files.
Any suggestions for a plan of action would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [Wlug] One more question.
by Eric Martin
usually its .profile or .csh_profile or something to that effect. Like james
said, google is your friend. Also, chances are you're using bash so its
.bashrc

For bash you can add the commands to set these variables for bash in
.bashrc if you use a different shell you'll need to edit a different
file. Google should be able to help you with this. You can set
variables system wide (all users) by editing /etc/profile (or at least
that is where ubuntu puts it). Thanks!

Which configuration process creates the environmental variables?
I want to permanently add to my PATH. Presently I do it every time I logon.

Eric, this is the one.
by Ken Jones
Yes, Eric, this is the ULTRA 1 Creator you gave me. It had been my backup
machine. Now it is center stage. Seems to be doing fine. My problems have
been with installing a modern version of Aurora. Previously it had been
running Gentoo without X.
Thanks.

I was all mixed up.
by Ken Jones
My ULTRA1 hard drives do not have a separate four pin power connector.
That's the CD drive.
Here's what one of my hard drives says:
Seagate Barracuda
Model ST32171WC
It has a connector with about 76 pins. They are too small for me to count
accurately.
----------------------------------------
I have decided to stick with my present installation of a 2004 Aurora
package on my 3.2 Gig disk. I can mount my old Linux disk so I can get at
the files I wish to preserve. I can even back them up. I think I can RPM
some newer versions from the WEB. I have a brand new Fedora 12 Beta
packages disk that refused to load. Checksum?? Gotta get Md5sum going...
Thank you for all your support and tell me when you get a PDP10 or 11
working. Inputting from punched paper telegraph tape will bring back
memories.

mine has a separate power cord
by Ken Jones
Thanks, Chuck, for noting the two variations.
My ULTRA 1 has an oval connector with 68 (I did not count them) pins and a
separate four wire power cord.

Need a bigger SCSI disk
by Ken Jones
John,
Yes this is one of those oval connectors. It is designated as sdb which (I always thought) means the second SCSI drive disk.
I'd be glad to take a drive to where ever you are for a 35Gig drive.
