Does anyone remember a drum printer that sounded like an M60 machine gun when the door was open, I think it was from DEC.


Phooey. Printing was for the night operator. :)

I do remember the old IBM/360 9-tracks. They sounded like a vacuum cleaner sucking up a Walmart bag when they mounted. Also the 2311 disk drives that would walk around a bit when the seek action got too feisty on a sort/merge.

The good old days...

Oddly enough, sometime over the weekend everything started working. I guess the ghosts in the machine finished their party and bugged out.

I am strongly inclined to accept the situation without a lot of fuss, although it would be nice to know what was going on.

Oh well... :)

Never seen this one before. There doesn't seem to be any documentation for error code 8.

Good one, that fixed it.

Now, I am getting 100% computation errors that I need to track down. I am beginning to think this machine is haunted or something.

Checked again this morning and it is still failing. I'm stuck.

I just set up BOINC on a FreeBSD machine for the first time. It connects to the project ok, but every WU downloaded has a wrong file size, always larger than expected. Of course the checksum fails on these too.

Every one looks like this:

195: 08-Mar-2013 15:13:36 (low) [SETI@home] Started download of 15my12ab.20217.6304.206158430217.10.107

Not sure where to begin troubleshooting something like this...
