The Impact Video option also uses that power rail.

MacOS 7.x on 68040: QuarkXPress.
IRIX: discreet IFFFS.
Windows 95 on Pentium: 3DS MAX?
The more successful systems have many "killer apps", so it's harder to point to a single one.

It looks like there's a ton of Silastic on the transformer wires, that's going to make it hard to see if components are burned.
One thing about RS-232-C serial circuits is that they use higher voltages than just about anything else in a computer. The -12V DC rail is chiefly to supply power to the serial drivers and receivers, along with +12V. So perhaps there is some hidden path between the DC fans and the serial ports? Which module is -12V DC output from on the supply?

Very cool, thanks for posting!

Common Lisp's GO, and C's "goto", are both strongly-typed and lexically scoped. So far, no problem. The GCC extension is of a different kind:
It was intended to provide the freedom of a "computed GOTO" expression in Fortran. But what came out is rather too general: the labels are coerced to void*, losing all type safety, and no checks are performed at all. So it is very easy to shoot yourself in the foot.
There is no problem per se with jumping to a label in another function, as long as the scope is defined. Already in C you can jump to any label within the function, even if it means crossing a compound statement. Gotos to other functions happen naturally once you have first-class functions.

try the other speeds, it might be set to 19200 or 38400. compression only applies to modems, it has no meaning for serial links.
does Zterm work with your adapter with other serial devices? did you use a null-modem cable?
The amber LED stays on for a pretty long time, more than a minute in some cases.

An interesting bit of history re: SGI+video:

At the same time, Silicon Graphics did not have a real recordable video output board yet. DiaQuest proposed a stand-alone product containing a rack mount PC and Truevision Targa board. DiaQuest worked closely with SGI and WaveFront (a leading 3D graphics company along with competitors Alias and SoftImage) to market rendering output devices to VTR.

DiaQuest provided a crucial element for SGI by developing frame-accurate products for real-time capture and layoff, both standard def and HD. DiaQuest worked closely with the SGI engineering team to develop the tight timing standards needed to guarantee absolute frame accuracy.
DiaQuest ported their Animaq editing product to Irix for the SGI platform to support the expanding animation market.

I wonder what timeframe that was? Before the VideoFramer, possibly? I have a Mac DiaQuest board, it was designed for an interesting use case. When recording to tape, you have to synchronize the video out exactly to the tape movement. The workstation's graphics and the VTR both have to be genlocked to the same master, obviously, but you also need to begin the frame at the time the recorder expects it. So there are 10 different signal cables that go to the various video decks to make them all sync up to do on-line editing. The SGI boards like the Galileo don't have anything quite as sophisticated, so either they just didn't support on-line editing, or there was some other option that added it.

I don't know for certain whether the statute of limitations has run out.

Maybe /usr/bin/X11 isn't in your PATH?

Overlays were for 6.5.x point releases... And there is additionally the problem that there were two "streams" of point releases, (f)eature and (m)aintenance. You couldn't switch streams without reinstalling. At a certain point that distinction was removed, and they were all effectively feature releases.

I don't know where that comes from... The correct size is 80x43. Your screenshot shows 82 columns.

* Background color #00004D

The correct color is blue-violet.

That was great, thanks!

But you need to take care of application security as well, I would be especially cautious of netscape and acrobat.

there would be a DWARF section in the binary.

That's by far the best approach.

I think they were created by a user here. Since this is originally an SGI forum those were most of the icons that were made, I think that the MicroVAX and NeXT Cube were by special request.

HP Envizex might fit those parameters. The days of the X terminal are long ago unfortunately...

The Envizex II supported 100BaseTX and 16-bit DirectColor. But finding one of them now is too difficult.

Another option might be the NCD NC900.

Oh man, did they really put "REMOVE AT RISK OF DEATH" on the silkscreen?

Is that really supposed to be C? Plan9 used some idiosyncratic languages and tools like ATOM that are not compatible with anything else.
In C, the square brackets [] are only allowed in subscript expressions (binary expressions consisting of a pointer type and an integer type, as in p[i] or i[p]).

In ISO C99 you can give the elements in any order, specifying the array indices or structure field names they apply to, and GNU C allows this as an extension in C89 mode as well.

To specify an array index, write [index] = before the element value. For example,

int a[6] = { [4] = 29, [2] = 15 };
An alternative syntax for this which has been obsolete since GCC 2.5 but GCC still accepts is to write [index] before the element value, with no =.

Fix this GCC-ism and it should compile under c99 (which you request with the -c99 argument to MIPSPro 7.4.x)

The long time since the last patch means that researching new exploits isn't the point. All the old ones still work and serving an exploit to a vulnerable machine has long been completely automated.

just run everything behind a router/firewall and you're fine. general, golden rule; goes for all systems.

Heartbleed? What's that?

It's hard to understand what circumstance would motivate the non-conformant flag. The only one that comes to mind is that if both arms of the conjunction are evaluated, they can be run in parallel. But I don't get the impression that the supported architectures are parallel.

Besides Go and Rust, some "C like languages" with support for concurrency that I wanted to try are Cilk, Limbo, and XC (the latter from Xmos).

If you use tcsh, it has a built-in colorized ls (the actual command is ls-F, but you can assign aliases to it). I think bash does too.

I will freely admit I could be wrong :)

I think the color features were added sometime between tcsh 3.x.x (is that the version in 6.5?) and 6.x (Astron). It could also be that piping man into grep doesn't really work, since the troff graphic control chars interfere with searchability.

Now you're Doin' the Vatican Rag!

Hamei, I'm not sure how the war is shown in the PRC, but most of the killing is being done by different factions of Syrians against each other. The impact of bombing by the US, France and Russia isn't insignificant, but it's far less than what Assad has been doing for years. The war there is also the first widespread use of chemical weapons since Iraq in 1985.
With regard to the Paris suicide bombings, one twitter post had this perspective: "130 morts c'est affreux et 600 morts c'est quoi?"

Techpubs seems to have already removed its IRIX 6.2 and 5.3 section. Are those backed up somewhere?

I have a copy of "Computer Engineering: A DEC View of Hardware System Design" by Bell, Mudge, and McNamara. A great book, covering everything from the TX-2 and PDP-1 through about 1980. Before the demise of the 36-bit line, fortunately .

Ada is rather verbose with many "noise chars" that seem redundant. It does have a nicer type system that can explicitly define upper and lower bounds. VHDL was based on Ada.

That's not exactly a high bar. Better would be to disclose where the PROM is mapped in memory so anyone can dump it.

CSI is a television fantasy, you can be sure that the software pictured will never exist.
Government rarely develops software itself, it mostly uses COTS or under contract development. In the US, this is because all works of the government belong to the public.

For sure, military computers are interesting. They have the widest operating temperature range (often extending from far below zero to over 60 C) and are designed for the highest availability. There are some channels on youtube with teardowns of radars and avionics that are most curious. I think you mean ARINC though, not 'ARING'. There are a wide assortment of defense industry standards from ARINC, so it describes many separate technologies.

I have never owned a RS/6000, but from the 320H product sheet, it uses 10-pin serial ports (probably an AMP connector). There is an option #2936 that was included with the system, a cable betwixt the 10-pin "standard serial port" and DB-25. #2937 was the null-modem coupler for hooking up a serial terminal.
The owner's manual should describe which memory slots need to be filled, you will need to populate at least one complete bank.

Isn't it possible to see the hard drive sleds through the sheet metal on the node side?

something about the culture of HP shops was to develop and release less free software than (e.g.) SGI shops. But there were many universities running it, so software should exist somewhere in the sands of time.
I think PA-RISC was big in EDA, CAM, geology, physics, etc. Graphics projects preferred IRIX, NT, and Linux.
