Starting prices on E-bay are expensive for a number of reasons that combine to create a perfect storm...

1. you have items that are in limited supply, we know that no more genuine PC/XTs will be...

Sorry perhaps I have over trimmed. Perhaps the shortage of mainstream coverage is deliberate. Trying not to panic the public? As for the above BT or perhaps Openreach used to offer a PSTN port with...

Yes, the 11/750 was the slowest VAX at around 0.6 Mip or VUPs. My pizza box VAX/VLC is about 10 times faster.

That is not how I read the OFCOM document.

as far as I can see it makes no difference if you...

Well BT has said they will phase out the normal phone service by 2025 and have also dropped the Fibre to Voice service which came with a Battery Backup Unit so whilst you may be sitting pretty now,...

Yes there is a distance limit on ISDN, typically 5 or 6Km. Really its a group delay and an attenuation limit. This caused issues in the UK where in some places where the Post Office and British...

In some ways all networking, well all that I have met, is "serial". The data is passed as a sequence of bits, one at a time. Often its half duplex, more modern systems may be full duplex. Its just...

I had ISDN for a long time which in the UK was 2 x 64K voice/data and 16k signalling over a normal exchange copper pair, so you get 128k but paid for two calls. (no free local calling in Europe)...

You should find cards with RJ45 around. I know this one is a tad on the expensive side, but as its NE2000 compatible it should be easy to find driver

Its still the norm in the UK as most internet is delivered over ADSL or FTTC so needs a copper pair to deliver to the home. Some places where cable TV was installed there is Cable.
Its planned to...

Thanks for that. I have grabbed that as well. I think I have some 27256 and my programmer is supposed to support them...

Its a lot smaller than the original VAX 11/750 and 11/780 that came before it....

Perhaps a special for some kind of 5250 or other terminal emulators. Real 5250 keyboards have a "CMD" key and you generate the equivalent of "F1" by pressing "cmd" then "1"...

I know there are places still running VAX systems...

Who says it uses a sine wave?

Dave,
I know Mark from DecLegacy has APL running. Are you on the dec lEGACY LIST

Yes, SIMH is an emulator that lets you install and run VAX VMS on Linux or Windows and other programs (Not sure about BSD or macOS).
You can mount an "ISO" CD image on SIMH and then access it from...

So it looks like DECNET is running. Getting stuff from a SIMH instance sounds like an idea...

Well in the UK the gold standard is the "Peak" which measures at 100Khz

but I think you will think its too expensive.....

I have found the cheap meters and I have two pretty useless for testing ESR on PSU capacitors. I think they simply don't pump enough current through the device and report low ESR and high...

I think we can find install media which can be mounted on a SIMH image of VMS and shared across the network, using DECNET. what does "show network" and "show cluster" show?

Or if there is a free...

Mattis,
I think everything is here.

Sadly the VMS patches only go as far as VMS 7.1

Thanks Terry. I will make a note.

I think a simple LICENCE LIST will display the values, but not in a format that can be used to re-enter them.
