Well... I finally have my Unix-PC up and running. I have an old 7300, on
which I have put a Seagate 4096. I formatted it using the protocol for
the miniscribe (8 heads, 1024 cyls). All went well. I have installed
the foundation set (3.51) and the development set. So... now I need some
assistance.
First... How do I attach my Microcom 9624c to the RS232 port? How do I
configure it? Can I use it both as a dial out and answer???
2nd: Where can I get a connector (adaptor) for the internal modem jack.
It surely is not a standard RJ11.
3rd: Who wants to set me up for news and mail? What is the best News soft-
ware? Who can I call up for NEWS and Mail (any volunteers)....
4th: I sure could use some more memory (I only have 512k).. anyone got
an extra memory expansion board??? Maybe even a combo board???
5th: I would like to be able to access that 9th head on my disk... I guess
that i need the WD2010. Where can I find one.
6th: I want to run this machine as a sort of "this is a good reason to
learn Unix for someone from VMS", and as a mail/news/bbs system. Anyone
have hints for me... like are there any good cheap (PD) BBS systems for
this beast? I appreciate any and all answers.
Well... I am sure that these questions have been asked and answered before...
I hope you all dont take offense at me for doing just one more time.
Thanks...
Keith
