Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 00:13:22 +0200 From: Klaus Zeuge Subject: A 2020 being given away in 1994 This is the ad giving away the KS10 which at the time had the name eLinor.Lysator.LiU.SE and was running TOPS-20. I don't remember which version of TOPS-20 but it was a later version not supported by DEC. eLinor could talk TCP/IP and DECnet. The text translates to "DECsystem2020 being given away (for free) to friend of TOPS20. Only serious prospective 'buyers'" rad is ROW mottagare is RECEIVER aka TO: sänt is SENT AT markerad av is MARKED BY fynda is MAKE A REAL BARGAIN ============================================================================= 620837 1994-05-21 11:36 /1 rad/ Pell Pell Pell (Positronic Electronic Learning Lifeform) Mottagare: TOPS-20 erfarenhetsutbyte <174> Mottagare: Pryltorget, allmänt (diverse I/O av prylar och ting) <986> Sänt: 1994-05-21 14:02 Sänt av Peter Johansson Markerad av 2 personer.

(620837) Kommentar i text 991287 ============================================================================= The machine ended up at LUDD, see : DEC2020 --------------------------------------------------------------- For some reason, a couple of enthusiasts want to run a DEC2020. Currently, it is running ITS (Incompatible Timesharing System). and has got a RP06 disk and a TU45 tape station connected. --------------------------------------------------------------- Last edited: 960120 at 16:53 ============================================================================= Asking Anders Magnusson 2001-03-31, it seems the machine is kept turned off but has a boot time of about an hour. The only real problem is a broken vacum sensor in the tape unit. Regards, Klaus Zeuge ---
