All of the above (below??), I believe, provided you use DDS quality
tape which supports MRS (Media Recognition System) encoding. We have
an A3330A in which we've used all three cartridge sizes successfully.

Our new 918's came with the A3183A 4-16GB DDS DAT tape drive. What
size tapes can I use in these drives (i.e., 60m, 90m, 120m, ...)? [...]45_3May199710:45:[log in to unmask]

Gentle HP 3000 Listers,

Yesterday, I was perusing the Spring issue of the HP-UX resource directory,
and as I opened the cover, an ad on the inside cover caught my eye, as ads
are supposed to do.  The picture shows a man working on what seems to be a
large, antiquated laptop.  Reading the text, one discovers this is not an
ordinary laptop, but rather, a portable HP-UX workstation!

The Galaxy 1100 is marketed by SAIC of San Diego, CA which describes the
product thusly:
"Execute complex applications, perform software development and
demonstrations (italics are mine), network administration and other HP-UX
computing tasks easily.  A 10.4 inch, full-color, active matrix LCD renders
images at a resolution of 1024 x 768, giving you superb graphics
capability.  Powerful and portable, Galaxy 1100 is fully software
compatible with the HP 9000/700 workstation series.  It has 32 MB of RAM,
expandable to 128 MB with error detection/correction capability, and the
performance and reliability of the HP PA-RISC processor."

They list a web site at www.saic.com/it/stp/galaxy/index.html
A quick check reveals they printed an invalid URL.  The real one is
www.saic.com/it/stp/computers/galaxy.html

The specs are as follow:
80 MHz HP 712 PA-RISC CPU; 32 MB of RAM expandable to 128 MB with error
detection/correction capability; 2 GB hard drive; 3.5-inch 1.44 MB floppy
drive; 10.4-inch color active matrix LCD; 2 integral PCMCIA slots; IEEE
802.3 Ethernet interface; SCSI-2 interface; POSIX-based HP-UX operating
system

So it has been done for the HP 9000, why can't it be done for the HP 3000?

On my Compaq Armada, I currently dual boot between Windows NT Server 4.0
and Windows 95.  When I give talks, I sometimes also carry my other laptop
and thus create an NT based network, running Exchange 5.0 and SQL Server
6.5.  With a gadget like the Galaxy, I could also connect to an HP 3000.

Sigh.

Kind regards,

Denys. . .
