Welcome. 1520s are interesting devices.
By saying repeatedly, "oh, that looks like it would be neat to play with ..."
Managed to get parts to fix my Outbound 2030S from an "untested" (code for "I know it doesn't work but I'll pretend I don't") unit sold on eBay. After some diagnostic testing I determined the...
Been running one since 1999 and on this IP since 2011. Only had to get a block removed from one provider with a very aggressive blocklist, and to their credit, they did so within 24 hours. Otherwise...
And that you can't run code directly out of anyway. ;)
I think the 1750 clones are rarer than the actual 1750.
I don't want to get Ellisoned, but I'll just say that if you look around on the INTERNET you may find the software in various ARCHIVE locations that are downloadable.
Welcome.
Moved to groups.io free tier. Got the files uploaded and I have copies of the messages which I'll probably host somewhere else.
Welcome!
I think a lot of us have similar dreams ...
"If you can compute it, you deserve it."
Well, actually, there's two Tadpoles in that picture. The Tadpole UltraBook IIi laptop at left is indeed the server (running Solaris 10 and SRSS 5.1). The Tadpole M1400 on the right, which has a...
Managed to locate a copy of SRSS 5.1 and installed it on my Solaris 10 Tadpole. Wow, it's quite good! I was even able to play a few games with it, and that's with just a little 400MHz CPU doing the...
Welcome. Which model PET?
In a RAM limited system like that, you really need RAM Doubler. I use that to run Classilla on my 1400.
Welcome. I think you'll find a lot of commonalities with people here.
Well, yes, it took the same form factor, but near as I could determine even if you used 60ns Power Mac DIMMs, if they weren't parity the ANS would still run them at 70ns. But you may know differently...
Currently not very. There are lots of graphical problems. It appears to have worked fine with jOpenRay on earlier JDKs on their tested SR2 system, but none of the three SunRay laptops I have work...
It is. That's what made the ANS an exceptional case. I don't know why Apple did it that way.
There was a lot of stuff that took parity memory, too. The Macintosh IIci came in a parity-capable version, for example, and the Apple Network Server actually performed better with parity memory (the...
What he said.
That's a cute little system!
Latest SunRay to arrive is a Gobi7 that thinks it's a Gobi8 (also MIPS based). With some hacking to jOpenRay (renaming it to "kOpenRay") to deal with the Gobis lying about their source IP and to...
Welcome.
