Check the DEC bbs's you see here for Rainbow sections and gather what you need.

Yep they sure do have the files.bbs listing. See if you can locate someone local that can read HD disks. Copying that many files to low density would be a bit much at this time.

Well, I finally got the keyboard for the 100B that has been sitting in my closet! I was so excited about pluggin it in & gettin past the keyboard error msg. Now the next thing I gotta get past is that nasty missing command.com msg! I also tried booting off of cp/m & I got a missing sys msg. Does anyone have an extra copy of DOS out there that they are willing to part with? I got a special deal on this thing & now I want to see what it can do. Also, because I'm just an IBM type user, any advice on usin this thing would be greatly appreciated. I'm considering the possibility of setting up a BBS on it. Can a different size hard drive go in it? 10 megs is a little confining. Later.

BR> Now the next thing I gotta get past is that BR> nasty missing command.com msg! I also tried booting off of cp/m BR> & I got a missing sys msg. I assume you only have the harddisk. You should get DOS 3.1B and latest Codeblue if want to make much use of the system. 3.1 for large disk (2.11-1 ok for disk upto 20 meg [note "-1" of 2.11 has fix to disk loader] and Codeblue for RB to IBM text file running. BR> Can a different size hard drive go in it? BR> 10 megs is a little confining. Some of the Seagate drives work well 10,20,40,80 meg (only 67 on rb). The 80 is the ST-4096. Can get some other number that work if needed. - --- msged 2.07 * Origin: Bob's_point of Cuckoo's Nest : Hudson, NH (1:132/119.4) ------------------------------ Date: 28 Apr 91 07:53 -0500 From: FRANK MALLORY To: GEORGE THEALL Subject: WUTIL FOR DOS 3.10B GT> FM>If you could give me the exact filespec, I think I can get someone GT> FM>local to get it for me. GT> GT> ~/info-dec-micro.uploads/wutil32.zip. Thanks, George. Josh Gray uploaded it to the Silver Bullet, so I won't have to go through the FTP process. So it's available here under the same filename for download or file request. My HST modem is back in operation after a trip to USR, so it can be obtained from here pretty economically by similarly equipped boards. Only about 98K. And I confirmed that it DOES work OK under DOS 3.10b. - --- msged 1.99L MSC * Origin: Silver Bullet - Silver Spring, Md. - 301-622-2247 (1:109/417) ------------------------------ Date: 28 Apr 91 10:32 -0500 From: FRANK MALLORY To: ANDY BOYCE Subject: RE: AUTOCAD FOR 'BOW Have you disposed of it? - --- msged 1.99L MSC * Origin: Silver Bullet - Silver Spring, Md. - 301-622-2247 (1:109/417) ------------------------------ End of Rainbow EchoMail Digest ******************************
