| 3576.1 | How big? | ABACUS::DRY | | Wed Dec 14 1994 10:09 | 4 |
| How big is this file? I had some 7500 blocks available in my account
and got an error message when trying to copy, that I exceeded my
size, and that includes an extra 1000 block buffer.

| Sorry about the size of it. What makes it so large is the photographs.
Hopefully next week we'll start to cut it into four sections to make
it more manageable.

| 3576.7 | "So what cable do I need?" | SUBURB::POWELLM | Nostalgia isn't what it used to be! | Wed Dec 14 1994 11:54 | 16 |
|
You may wish to avail yourselves of a different cable guide
rejoicing in the name of: "So what cable do I need?"
This one is a purely text file showing which cable is required to
connect which (mainly external) option to which option.
This one is updated periodically as and when new information is
passed to me or when corrections are (occasionally) required.
This one is only about 350 blocks long and takes only 4-5 minutes
to print on a turbo PrintServer 20. It may be copied from:

| 3576.10 | Can anyone else put it on the Internet? | SUBURB::POWELLM | Nostalgia isn't what it used to be! | Thu Dec 15 1994 04:24 | 11 |

Lack of resources for WWW etc.
Unfortunate!!!!!!!!! This is the way the company is going - and so
are we, told last Friday!
If someone else has the time and resources to do this, then the
files are available to them on the net. It is, of course, another good
idea

| 3576.11 | What webs we weave! | GLDOA::WERNER | | Thu Dec 15 1994 08:20 | 6 |
| It appears that the Cable Guide is almost as big as the Storageworks
Warranty Guide, which is at 350,000 blocks and growing. Of course it
could be that 200,000+ blocks of that covers cables (with appropriate
explainations that the warranty prices are zero).

| 1. be aware that printing can/will take more than 24 hours on a LPS20!
2. All respects and thanks to the authors ! I appreciate this document
and found it very useful for my daily work.
3. The comments/ideas to improve quality/accessability/easy-to-use are
good and welcome (I hope). But do not only complain and make
proposals. If possible, try to contribute !

| 3576.16 | And now, in PDF format! | HLDE01::SOMERS_D | | Tue Dec 20 1994 08:40 | 12 |
| re: .8 .10. .12. .13
Full of festive spirit (hic), and because I don't have shares in
Quantum, I have converted the cable guide into the
ever-so-wonderfully-compact Adobe PDF format.
So, surf along to:
http://apdncc.apd.dec.com/lnx/pdf
and pick up cableg.pdf (and acro_usa.exe - windows PDF reader - if you
don't have it) and consume a mere 28516 blocks of disk space.
|
| 3576.17 | and more PDF | HLDE01::SOMERS_D | | Tue Dec 20 1994 08:44 | 8 |
| re -1
In the same location, you will also find some other stuff that I turned
into PDF, including Getting Started on the Internet (inter.pdf).
Happy browsing,
David.

| 3576.19 | What advantage the 'guide being on the WWW? | SUBURB::POWELLM | Nostalgia isn't what it used to be! | Tue Dec 20 1994 09:54 | 13 |

Ye gods and little fishes!!!!!
This WWW bit is no use to anyone - for the Cable Reference Guide!!!!!
I called up the page on WWW at 14:05 (on the right side of the pond),
it is now 14:54 and it still hasn't come up on the screen (VS3100/76
SPX) here in DECpark, Reading. How much longer is it going to be, I
wonder?
I know it is 14 MB, but this is ridiculous! What advantage is this
to anyone, I ask myself?

| 3576.21 | Looks like line problems... | HLDE01::VUURBOOM_R | Roelof Vuurboom @ APD, DTN 829 4066 | Tue Dec 20 1994 10:27 | 13 |
| Malcolm,
a 256Kb line runs from here to Nijmegen and a 1024Kb line from
Nijmegen to under your feet in Reading. "Normally", you should
be able to download this in about 10-20 minutes.
There appear to be some line problems at the moment so don't
blame poor little PDF and WWW just yet. (On the other hand feel
free to pick up the 100MB postscript version from the US anytime :-)

| 3576.22 | After 2.5 hours of waiting, I'm going to kill the job. | SUBURB::POWELLM | Nostalgia isn't what it used to be! | Tue Dec 20 1994 11:32 | 11 |

Well, two things Roelof: First of all, I sit next to the guys who
have created the Cable Reference Guide, so I get my hard copy literally
over the fence of my cube; Secondly, I am the one who maintains the
Cable Configuration Guide on the same (PostScript) node as the other
one.
I am going to kill the job of getting the WWW cable file over, it
is now 2.5 hours!!!!! I was only trying it out on the Web.

| -< Manana (and I don't know how to get the tilde on) >-
Press and hold the "Compose Character" Key, then press the "Space"
bar, let go of both. Press and let go of the "a" Key, the hold down
the "Shift" Key and press the Key above the "Tab" Key. Let go of all -
et voil�, you have a "�" - OK. You can experiment with all sorts of
Key combinations - have fun: �; �; �; �; �; �; �; � etc. etc.

| 3576.25 | Try the compose utility! | DPDMAI::HARDMAN | Sucker for what the cowgirls do... | Tue Dec 20 1994 19:58 | 11 |
| > -< Shame if you have a PC, it isn't so easy! >-
Actually, it isn't that difficult! Do a DIR/TITLE=COMPOSE in the
HUMANE::IBMPC_SHAREWARE conference. There's a bit of freeware (for
Digital employees) that enables using compose key characters on a PC.
I'm logged in from home, via modem, on a clone 486 (with an AMD
processor, so I guess it's a clone of a clone!), running VT340
emulation. I can easily do the �, �,�,�, etc. :-)

| 3576.28 | Version 7 No-Photo Available | CHEFS::JAMESH | Left Handed People are SUPER Natural | Thu Jan 25 1996 06:37 | 18 |
| A revised Cables Guide is available from:
RDGE17::DISK$APPL_08:[PARTENQ.DMO_CABLES]CABLEV7_NOPIC.PS
Although this guide has no photographs, it is fairly short (3541 blocks)
and will print on a LPS20.
We hope to get a guide with photographs available to you sometime next
week.
This of course will be very large but again I'll divide it into four or
five sections.
As usual your comments are welcome.
Don't forget the WWW version. Look at http://www.digital.co.uk/
