FORTRAN is a nice comfortable language :)

Wow, that code is really ancient :)
For comparison, here's how a modern Fortran program can look like: http://www.liv.ac.uk/HPC/HTMLF90Course/HTMLF90CourseNotesnode62.html


Bah, that looks more like Ada. Real FORTRAN looks like:

Code:
IF IF = 0 THEN THEN = 0;
STOP
END


... and is tens of thousands of lines long, the variable TOTAL doesn't contain the accumulated total but CURR does and functions don't do what their name suggests and has GOTOs everywhere and totally incomprehensible logic.

I could use the kidney bean shaped plastic around the L1, drives and DVD ROM behind the door on one of my Tezros. There are scuff marks all over it like its been through a rock tumbler but the front panel is the only bit missing on the quad, its fine with the door closed but just irks me to know its there. The dual is pristine in comparison.

I have Wings3D on Windows8 but I'd rather not use that.
Is there anything on IRIX that will export FBX..? Suppose its too new.
I guess I could go Wavefront OBJ to network share and import and re export but each transformation risks losing something.

I've agree; software patents are a blight on the landscape and must be purged and expurgated. From endsoftpatents.org:

Each software patent blocks software developers from implementing a feature such as a video format, pinch-to-zoom, or nested menus. For 20 years, no developer can implement that feature without asking the patent holder, who can refuse, or ask for payment and impose conditions. Today there are tens of thousands of software patents and this affects all computer users:

Software patents block standards, leading to incompatibility. If you can’t view a video, if a document doesn’t look right on your computer, or if two software packages don’t work well together, it’s often because a patent prohibits the software developer from making that feature work correctly.

Software patents block individuals from taking part in the development and distribution of software. This may not seem relevant to most people but it’s the same as the freedom to write a book. Most people will never write a book, but some people will, and society as a whole benefits from what is made by the few people who do write books or develop software.

Software patents create legal and financial risks that most companies can’t afford. The result is monopolies or only two or three companies being active in a given domain. Software users are left with very little choice, and because the patent-owning software companies know that the users are locked in, there is little incentive to respond to complaints from the users.



Careful, you are starting to sound a lot like hamei. ;-)

You might want to specify a location, say Country and state/region/provence. Someone might be able to help in person.
I used to be keen on VME and helping out people, going on hardware collection road trips together and such.
I don't have that much time anymore.

That looks like a 32amp plug. My Onyx2 rack has two of them.

I think it's "normal" and NOT 3-phase, based on the connector. Let me double-check.


3 phase has four pins ... one for each phase plus one for ground and there are some odd variations to that I've seen in industrial sites.
That looks like single phase 32amps max, 240v to me, might be different in your country.

Back when I wanted it, I grabbed the latest Postgres in nekoware and used that and it worked just fine.
nekoware is mostly built with MIPS Pro due to issues mentioned in the wiki (possibly more than once).

Its not so much about optimization but a minor incompatibility between gcc and MIPS Pro code when mixed. gcc probably can do better optimizations by now.

Thread syntonization overhead. Take a bench-marking program like I dunno, pvm-povray or c-ray or whatever and run it with thousands and thousands of threads more than it can handle. It can spend more time switching and dealing with synchronization than doing actual work. That is one of the reasons why massively parallel programming is such an art or science.

What was the selling argument for OS/2 other than real dos compatibility?
I understand that some applications must have been developed solely for this platform, such as SGI/Discreet, or OpenVMS/RDB for instance?


It was "the Windows" before Microsoft pulled out and started the later Windows Product family and IBM continued along with it.
Stability I guess might have been one selling point. I think another reason was "you can't be fired for buying IBM" rhetoric of the day.
I think at least two very large banks had OS/2 as the standard operating environment for decades.
At least one of them might still do.
I don't think anything on OS/2 passed as the "killer app" but people liked the multi-tasking and stability of it.

I have not touched OS/2 for a very long time, before Warp was out even but as far as I know this is how things went. I thought I saw something like desktop sharing a friend was demoing in OS/2 literally decades ago... I am a little vague about it and if I recall it was OS/2 to OS/2. Something like tech support desktop remote or something corporate sounding. A quick google and I saw something that looks like it might have been it... System View... http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg242596.pdf

Some people saw X11 running on UNIX and VMS machines and saw the ability to spawn windows on other machines, they created Citrix, Microsoft went into partnership with them and took the technology and created Microsoft Terminal Services. Now even though Citrix came up with the idea and the original tech, every time Citrix sells a product they have to sell Microsoft licenses and pay royalties. Something like that was paraphrased to me by a fellow Citrix employee when I worked at Citrix. As far as I know, Citrix MTS came after the break up between MSFT and IBM so if it exists in OS/2 or later versions, its a bolt on.

There are a few ports of FOSS I found after
http://os2ports.smedley.info/

And if I recall, Watcom the Open Source C++ compiler exists for OS/2, I think it was a pretty good compiler in its time. Probably doesn't have all the modern extensions though.

I've seen part of the source code to Ultrix and it was like clean and elegant well formatted poetry.
I don't recall ever seeing the source code VMS but I bet it is the same.
I've seen the source code to Linux and other open source projects and well.. enough said.

Howdy

I recently acquired an old R5k O2, and it suffers from the famous thrown gear problem in the CD drive unit. I've pulled apart the machine and I have the CD drive and the little white gear, but I can't figure out where it actually goes in the mechanism. I've searched the forums but the posts I came across didn't tell me where it should be. Can someone please help me? I'll take a couple of photos if that helps.


Welcome.


Pictures would be good. Someone could add them to the wiki after we've solved your issue. Where the white cog goes is obvious when you see it but some people just replace the entire drive (with for example a yamaha SCSI CDRW).

There is a bit in Aliens (the first of the sequels) where they had an alien made of rubber on a string and placed it on an over turned piece of furniture and yanked the string... they reversed the film so it looks like the alien is leaping off the floor... And apparently it was done with "in camera editing" ... A director I knew was all on about in-camera editing as über alpha-film-maker chic or something... Its amazing was is not CGI sometimes..

They sort of already have. As a "security feature" if you install software from an "unknown publisher" it will not let you run it first time... warning as such, then you right click Open and then choose Open again. It probably cuts down on the number of novice users installing malware by oh say 0.1%. Most of the software I use either comes from Apple (xcode) or MacPorts (I tried Homebrew, Darwin ports, etc)... Occasionally I'll download something from source forge and forget about the right click for first run.

OK, I will have to take a much closer look at the latest mac OS to decide. I don't mind simple warnings for programs from unknown publishers and the like, if you can acknowledge them and then do what you want. That is a (very small) help in keeping out unwanted crud. And I can manage saying "No, I don't want a #@!$#@! apple cloud thing" if it then turns it off and leaves me alone. But if it is too pushy, forget it.

Anyway, I know exactly how you feel about the 2009-2011 macs. I feel the same way about the powerbook G4, except it is getting too old.


I don't trust Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, Google or anyone else with my intellectual property or confidential documents but cloud services are kind of handy for say sticking an ebook on say sky drive, reading it on a tablet and then picking up where you left off on a PC and then taking it up again on your phone while waiting for public transport.

I don't know how in your face you regard it but many OS-X applications default to Documents and many (more so lately) default to iCloud. Its a matter of changing the drop down or clicking the expand button next to the file name and choosing the path you want.

The cloud thing and apple id and such are getting more deeply interwoven with just about all facits of the system and sometimes you see surprising unexpected benefits. WIndows 8 demanded that I use a live ID... OS-X requests a apple ID at install time. I don't recall if it was mandatory but stuff is not as effective without an ID.

I resisted the cloud & ids everywhere thing for the longest time, then you just put up with it... Sometimes it even helps. I just give them the bare minimum and try to keep private stuff off line, out of clouds, etc...

Oh and if you work with people sooner or later you'll come across someone who has to have everything you're working on together in the cloud. Or you can use it as a document transfer service...

We have had a plethora of recent Apple products some of them good, some have had real issues (I still don't if she finished replacing the hard drive in that MacBook Pro or upgraded it past Snow Leopard, and my 2008 MacBook, although "compatible" on the list with (Mountain)Lion isn't).

I had a top of the range MacBook Pro at one job I did recently, lotsa RAM, SSD, etc... I tried building the code on a older lower spec machine with a hard drive in it and the speed difference was amazing. SSDs are super fast in compiling huge code bases. Or at least that was my experience. I kinda don't trust SSDs (although I never had an issue), but then backups should be done everywhere all time, stuff that is critical will fail.

Was pulling strings with an AmbiCom subsidiary and it got to a point where they just emailed me the source code for the driver. :shock:
Okay, that's another way to make this work. Take the XP driver and find out why it doesn't work in 2000.

Unfortunately my driver skills are non-existant. The code is a also confusing. the batch files all refernce CE but form time to time I find mentions of NT32 or Windows32.


I haven't touched WindowsNT driver code since before the year 2000. It kinda sucked.. Oh wait thats not entirely true, in Japan I was digging around in Microsofts own code for 2003 server (via remote link to Redmond).Actually that was more so my Japanese boss, and we were arguing technical aspects while referencing the blue screen stack trace and the source for W2k3 and the source of device driver in question and RDPing into another box on the other side of the planet...

Anyways....
* I am not entirely sure that AmbiCom would appreciate you distributing their driver code to all and sundry.
* Kinda surprised that Recondas or maybe Pete hasn't jumped on you for posting it.
* Try root canal... its kinda more fun than digging around in Windows driver code.
* I seem to remember a book on NT driver development by Art Baker or was it Barker propping up a monitor when I was doing device driver stuff in the mid 1990s... I am sure there are miles of reference materials these days.
* You are the one with the problem with the device, I debug driver code on real devices, without a real device I am kinda spinning my wheels. I don't have a WIndows 2000 box, I suspect not many people would. At the very least you need I think Visual Studio, not sure of the version and then you should set up a build/test environment and hook up a second machine for kernel debugging and then break point the driver initialization routines from the second machine, I forget, was it OnLoad then OnRegister or something like that. Then you should step through the code until you see it return an error condition, then you look back up immediately before that and see why. Then you comment stuff out or fix it... Or is this a userland VxD-like driver..? (I've not bothered to look at the source you posted)...

Wouldn't it be easier to just run it on a new WindowsXP machine and forget about porting it...? It could take days, weeks or months and that is when you know what you are doing that much I can (barely) remember..

Good day everyone,

i just fulfilled myself a childhoods dream and bought a beautiful Octane Workstation on ebay.
Back in the days when i was a little nerd kid my father sometimes brought one of those "sgi PERFORMER" Magazines home from work. I LOVED this magazine and the mysterious, colorfull computers in it... even though i never really knew what to do with those machines, but what i knew was that they had to be VERY fast and powerfull. Some years later i did an internship for a 3d animation studio and finally got to work on some sgi systems! Boy i can tell you that was an absolute great experience, i was the luckiest 15 year old boy on earth that time. OK enough with emotional stuff here.

Surprisingly my new Octane came with a bunch of really great preinstalled Software like Maya, Smoke, Inferno and some other Discreet Legacy products.
But the IRIX Version is a plain 6.5 without any overlays. Not even the NFS Subsystem is installed. Of course i would love to get some nekoware running, but i know that i need at least IRIX 6.5.2 to run nekoware stuff.

You need 6.5.22 or later for nekoware.

I searched the internet for hours to find out where i could get IRIX CD´s with 6.5.30 Overlays but didnt find anything. Theres some stuff on ebay but they want 150 - 250 € for original IRIX cd´s. Thats a bit TOO expensive.

2 Questions:

1. Where or how can i get IRIX 6.5.30. I made a supportfolio account but the important stuff over there is for members with a valid support account only.
2. If i would finally find original IRIX CD´s i would need a cd drom drive to connect to my octane. Any suggestions about that? Is there a list with compatible scsi cd drom drives for octane anywhere?

thanx in advance!
and sorry for my poor english. :?


Careful...

at the top of the page it is wrote:
Forum rules

I guess almost any external SCSI enclosure will do and most SCSI CD-ROM (I've tried) drives will do and I've got like a dozen different makes of SCSI CDRW, SCSI DVD, SCSI CD, SCSI Tape including DAT and VHS tape backup. I think you might want to be able to set the 512 byte blocks jumper if you want to boot from it otherwise I've not had anything refuse to talk that wasn't actually broken...

The other option is network install, or ftp, scp, etc..

I think "Machete Kills" and "Plan 9 from outter space" are possibly worse.

What is it with Hollywood lately, that they can't put together anything that is not cringe-worthy. Is there profit to be made in audiences walking out of cinemas muttering "my six year old put something together last weekend, better than that" and feeling smug about themselves or has Hollywood gone completement jetti or quoi . Really, "Kill Bill", "Hot Shots", whatever, I feel utterly embarrassed for anyone in involved in the production of that rubbish and there seems to be a never ending spray (spew?) coming out of Hollywood lately.

Why is it that Oskar45 can not read a book or see a movie without approval? authorization? something else from the great unwashed collection of channers..?

That said, it seems like I can still write to the device using dd although the HFS partition it makes doesn't seem to be bootable like I'd hoped. Is there some sort of setting I'm missing or do you think I have a borked drive? Any light that can be shed on the situation would be highly appreciated.


I vaguely recall SCSI bus termination issues (don't even recall which h/w or o/s) showing up something like that. I can't recall if the bus wasn't terminated properly or it was terminated more than it need to be (so signals were being echoed down the bus, or something like that) I think it might have been terminated on the device, terminated on an external plug and terminated on another device in the chain or something. It was decades ago.

Trippynet wrote: So, I want a way to allow my little O2 to easily access file shares from my Windows 7 machine. In years gone by, I had an academic license for Sharity 2 and this worked well on my old Indy and on my O2. However since then, my license for Sharity has long since gone AWOL.

What I've tried so far:

Uninstalling Sharity 2.0 and trying Sharity 3.0 in free mode (I can live with one mounted share). The problem is that after installing it and then searching for my PC, the Sharity daemon locks up solid. Like, absolutely solid. After waiting for 10 minutes, I tried to shut the O2 down and it hung during shut down and required a holding press of the power button to switch it off.

I've also tried installing an NFS Server program on my Windows machine, such as the haneWIN NFS server. After setting up a share with it and disabling the Windows firewall, the O2 bluntly refuses to see any mapped shares at all on my PC.

So, once again I'm unfortunately forced to ask the question "am I missing something ridiculously obvious"?


You could of course go all out and buy a small NAS and stick it on your network ( https://www.google.com.au/search?q=read ... 1&ie=UTF-8 ), or build a freenas ( http://www.freenas.org ) as been discussed on these forums ( search.php?keywords=freenas&terms=all&author=&sc=1&sf=all&sk=t&sd=d&sr=posts&st=0&ch=300&t=0&submit=Search )
I try to make the shares and mount points similar names.

Be sure to come up with a good back up strategy. My NAS died on Friday night and I had to pull the drives out and put them into another ReadyNAS I luckily had, now I am copying all the files off ( ~2Tb, to much for optical media or tapes ) onto an external drive ( https://www.google.com.au/search?q=west ... 1&ie=UTF-8 ) in case the old and previously repaired spare NAS dies as well. I am thinking of using two white box PC and remote replication features of ZFS/FreeNAS... ( http://www.freenas.org/about/features.html#replication )... Source code gets backed up separately a second time on TimeMachine (Apple) which has saved my bacon more than once.

Ive been digging through some of the manuals and documentation, but there is quite a bit to go through, i was hoping someone here could give me some clear answers. I really dont want to drop a lot of mony and end up with something i cant use.

1- I see you can connect multiple machines together with numalink cables, which is kinda one of the main selling points for me, but im unclear on how exactly it works. If it like a fast cluster, or does the memory and cpu's across all the machines appear to all be on the same machine (yes) ? Do I need software written specifically to take advantage of this (no) , or can i just run any old program and it will be none the wiser that its all on seperate machines.


It looks like a single system image, same as MIPS stuff.
I say no above, but you sort of do need special software, it need to be multi-threaded and it needs to scale well.

or you can do large parallel builds eg: gmake -j(num-cpus - 1)


MrBill wrote: 2 - Can I use just a standalone altix 350? As in just buy one and connect more later as i need? (yes, you can upgrade) I dont see much in terms of io on the back of them, just a console port, numa link, power. Can I just add any old pci card in there or do i need a special SGI ones? (There is a limited list of cards supported, what are you expecting graphics?, these are run headless) I suppose my end goal here is to get a system with enthernet I can ssh into. Possibly vga too if its posible.

Nekoware.
  • Flight gear is pretty much a slide show on anything but my quad 1GHz Tezro.
  • bzflag kinda lame tank battle thing, nothing compared to "Zero Ballistics" on a Linux box with a CUDA card
  • gltron is probably in nekoware as well, and that is a amusing for at least a few minutes

Tux racer was ported to IRIX at one stage, lost interest in it after a "promoter" of it pissed me off about the port.
I worked on ARCInc-429 and MIL-STD 1553 avionics buses for a really big 3 man flight simulator on IRIX (and VME) but thats classified.

Social media appears mostly fraudulent to me... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVfHeWTKjag

I put out there on twitter that I liked apportable and it was very useful for me to port objective-c code to Android ( http://t.co/BWCfEl2RLp ). Now I am getting notifications that apportable's ( condensed ) retweet of my tweet is often getting favourited and retweeted in Arabic. I smell a rat. I wouldn't pay a cent to be 'promoted' on any social networking or microblogging site. I have not spent a cent but I bet apportable has spent a lot on advertising. What is more as what he says about lack of engagement, etc in the youtube video is actually exactly the case.

Edit: What is more is that I have a company page on facebook.
on facebook it is wrote: You need 25 more likes on your Page to get access to insights about your activity.

Facebook really pushes to get every cent out of you for things which actually make things worse. I have been thinking about writing games on Facebook, I set up a Heroku account and started messing about with it but mobile development seems easier and more interesting.

You could type in PymbleSoftware into the search box on facebook and find that I have not posted on it since maybe 2012 or so.

This is driving me nuts..

I am trying to use the CJKutf8 package to TeX up a document in Japanese.

I want to do this:

Code: Select all

\chapter{\begin{CJK}{UTF8}{min} イントロダクション \end{CJK} }

But I am getting this:

Code: Select all

! Use of \@chapter doesn't match its definition.
<argument> \def \reserved@a {
\def \@currenvir {CJK}\edef \@currenvline {\on@...
l.51 ...n} イントロダクション \end{CJK} }


I need the Japanese text in the chapter and sections. I can't think of another way unless I manually make Contents pages by hand, and just use large fonts for the section names. There must be away....

Please don't make me use luatex.
Halp!
