Ian, I can, as a not very scientific footnote, confirm that Jim Austin still has your Convex on his farm and, it seems, most of the manuals: http://u.cubeupload.com/jbcooper/smallIMGP0087.jpg http://u.cubeupload.com/jbcooper/smallIMGP0086.jpg http://u.cubeupload.com/jbcooper/smallIMGP0078.jpg http://u.cubeupload.com/jbcooper/smallIMGP0077.jpg http://u.cubeupload.com/jbcooper/smallIMGP0089.jpg http://u.cubeupload.com/jbcooper/smallIMGP0084.jpg http://u.cubeupload.com/jbcooper/smallIMGP0103.jpg http://u.cubeupload.com/jbcooper/smallIMGP0110.jpg
He also has at least one of the ex-bbk Evans & Sutherland PS300's: http://u.cubeupload.com/jbcooper/smallIMGP0091.jpg http://u.cubeupload.com/jbcooper/smallIMGP0093.jpg A few cobwebs, but pretty good going really for a 'former' pig-shed!! Not sure what happened to the 11/750, though... School of Pharmacy rings a bell?? None of this matters, but I just thought you might like to practice some 'big-iron' byte-swapping again, and if so, York is the place to go, after covid-19, of course ;-0 ;-0 On Friday, 15 May 2020, 10:47:40 BST, Ian Tickle <ianj...@gmail.com> wrote: Hi, that would have to be a very old map! I remember implementing the auto-byte swap for VMS (necessary as we had both a Convex C220 running Unix and a VAX 11/750)! In fact the Convex was rescued from scrap by Jim Austin and is still working: http://www.corestore.org/convex.htm Cheers -- Ian Cheers -- Ian On Fri, 15 May 2020 at 09:24, Philippe BENAS <00000d88e888355a-dmarc-requ...@jiscmail.ac.uk> wrote: Dear Bernhard, Is it an old map ? Back to the old VAX times I had to dump CCP4 maps to ascii map files, then swap bytes from VAX-DOS to Unix before converting them again to a CCP4 map format (I think I was using mapman from USF) on a Unix workstation and be able to read them in Frodo-Strasbourg or O. At least you could give it a shot and the ascii map file would help you figuring out the issue by a visual inspection of the header and sections.
