I mapped out the Maxi-Bus using the Alpha manual. It seems relatively

The Linotron 202 reverse-engineering paper by Joe Condon, Brian Kernighan, and 
Ken Thompson mentions a 512x4 PROM containing boot code. It seems like the next 
step here is for me to identify this PROM and attempt to dump it and 
disassemble it.


And if you don't have a prom programer, you can burn one here.

Re: OT - FTGH - U-Matic Tapes

I have been down that road myself.  In the end I gave up, bought a 
Toshiba  DVR630:

Yikes!  I paid $179.95 for mine a few years back!

It is a lot easier to sit back and let it do the work! (As long as you 
don't have to pay >1k$ for it!)


cheers,
Nigel

What is your setup to capture videos? I've been given the task of 
digitizing some family VHS-C tapes. VCR is working, but I'm having a 
bad time with video cards...

I was going to offer the same but my plate is pretty full right now.
If Ethan can do it, I'd be happy to see them online.  And I know that
Ethan's got a much nicer capture rig :)

To make this slightly less off topic, three of the U-Matic tapes I have are
in an SRA Computer Training Library boxed set containing:
   MVS Concepts and Facilities - Mini-Course 2 - Introduction to Job
   Processing
   MVS Concepts and Facilities - Mini-Course 5 - MVS System Programs
   MVS:  JCL Coding - Mini-Course 11 - Requesting Space for DASD Data Sets
I found them in my current employer's document library years ago.  Any
player(s) we had were long gone, so I've never seen them.


I have a umatic deck and capture hardware if you wanted them converted.
