<div dir="ltr">I was quite surprised, while tinkering in the garage yesterday, to find the AM7910PC FSK chip from my original hand-built 300-baud modem! (And the associated array of Z80's, 8255's, Z8420's, Z8440's, etc). Still had the jumper soldered to the chip for Bell 103 originator loopback - last time I used it, the closest BBS was two calling zones away at STD rates ;) (Ahh, remember the $3 all night call cap back in the 90's? They were great!)<div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 15 February 2015 at 10:47, Mark Currie <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:MCurrie@laserfast.com.au" target="_blank">MCurrie@laserfast.com.au</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-AU" link="blue" vlink="purple"><div><span class=""><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">I remember hooking up 10+ machines in the workshop on Netware 2 and running nsnipes (the first realtime multiuser network game – Novell Snipes) to load test the equipment. <u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">Actually some say Netware was created to run Snipes multiuser.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">Mark Currie<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a name="14b8a7e627d78a66__MailEndCompose"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></a></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">From:</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif""> AusNOG [mailto:<a href="mailto:ausnog-bounces@lists.ausnog.net" target="_blank">ausnog-bounces@lists.ausnog.net</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Joshua D'Alton<br><b>Sent:</b> Friday, 13 February 2015 8:45 PM<br><b>To:</b> Alan Maher<br><b>Cc:</b> <a href="mailto:AusNOG@lists.ausnog.net" target="_blank">AusNOG@lists.ausnog.net</a><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [AusNOG] On Old Hands and Young Uns<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></span><div><p class="MsoNormal">How about ye olde Friday afternoon Quake session enabler, aka 10Base2, where particular coax cables would only work between specific identical NICs in identical PCs, and where a t junction terminator would actually allow a segment only 1M long to work.<u></u><u></u></p><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div></div><div><div class="h5"><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div><p class="MsoNormal">On Fri, Feb 13, 2015 at 8:26 PM, Alan Maher <<a href="mailto:alanmaher@gmail.com" target="_blank">alanmaher@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Commodore 64, Geoworks, 300 bps modem (homemade) & dialling into a bulletin<br>board.................then thinking - is that all there is?<br>After that we lived in a shoebox at the bottom of the garden and ate a lump of coal<br>before walking 20 miles to school.<br>Luxury !!!<br><br>:-D<u></u><u></u></p><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><br>On 13/02/2015 9:08 p.m., Julien Goodwin wrote:<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">On 13/02/15 16:38, Ross Wheeler wrote:<u></u><u></u></p><blockquote style="border:none;border-left:solid #cccccc 1.0pt;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0cm"><blockquote style="border:none;border-left:solid #cccccc 1.0pt;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0cm"><blockquote style="border:none;border-left:solid #cccccc 1.0pt;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0cm"><p class="MsoNormal">What age counts as a young un?<u></u><u></u></p></blockquote></blockquote><p class="MsoNormal">If you can't remember when the BGP table was less than 50K routes.<u></u><u></u></p></blockquote><p class="MsoNormal">I think you're in trouble if you say "that's me" to any of these!<br><br>If you don't know what SLIRP was.<br>If you don't remember when you could fit netscape on a floppy.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">I have an *official* copy of 1.X Netscape (I think 1.1 or 1.2) for Win<br>3.X, and that's two floppies.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">If you don't remember webcrawler or Trumpet Winsock.<br>If you don't know what Fidonet was<br>If you have no idea what an AM7910 was or would be used for.<br>If you never owned at least one of:<br> * Microbee<br> * Trash80<br> * SCAMP<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">* PDP / VAX [1]<br>* Commodore 64<br>* Apple II<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">If you never heard of Netware, Banyan Vines or LANtastic<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">or "Phone Net" AppleTalk (Anyone still have ethertalk routers running?)<br><br>And the "oh noes!
