**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Jul 25 23:59:56 2005 Jul 26 09:16:00 yo peeps Jul 26 09:16:50 better than perps! Jul 26 09:20:46 sheesh. I been perp'n all morning. Jul 26 09:21:45 he he Jul 26 09:23:10 2.5million parts all built by the lowest bidder Jul 26 09:23:20 <[g2]> beewoolie-afk, hey stack boy Jul 26 09:23:33 Almost there... Jul 26 09:23:34 <[g2]> or should I just call "Stevens" Jul 26 09:23:49 I've got rarp, arp, icmp, and ping. Jul 26 09:24:18 <[g2]> the old BSD 4.3 or 4.4-lite stack was pretty nice and tight iirc Jul 26 09:24:56 I didn't find that one. Jul 26 09:25:12 * [g2] used to have a tape Jul 26 09:25:14 I found a uIP stack, but it was missing some key pieces so it wasn't really very useful. Jul 26 09:25:28 * beewoolie-afk muses about the magtape he still has. Jul 26 09:25:53 <[g2]> I've got a bunch of old FREEBSD CDs Jul 26 09:25:53 * ka6sox-away muses about the dectape I still have. Jul 26 09:25:55 * beewoolie-afk eats fresh rasperries Jul 26 09:26:07 <[g2]> at least back to 2.0 Jul 26 09:26:36 It turns out that the protocols are, for the most part, quite simple. Jul 26 09:26:49 somewhere I still have the bootloader toggle in sequence for a PDP8E Jul 26 09:27:09 tcp is a little more work, but the others have very simple state Jul 26 09:27:24 <[g2]> nod. Jul 26 09:27:31 ka6sox-away: do you have a pdp8? Jul 26 09:27:41 I wish... Jul 26 09:27:45 I've heard they're cheap. Jul 26 09:27:51 was the first computer I operated. Jul 26 09:28:03 <[g2]> pretty finicky Jul 26 09:28:07 yep Jul 26 09:28:21 Really? Were they error prone? Jul 26 09:28:38 <[g2]> we had a girl that could drop one from 30 feet away Jul 26 09:28:50 <[g2]> it was *spooky* Jul 26 09:29:05 at 84 deg in the room it would just *stop* Jul 26 09:29:23 <[g2]> "the good old day" Jul 26 09:29:30 <[g2]> slugs ROCK Jul 26 09:29:37 * beewoolie-afk stops working at about 84 degrees, too Jul 26 09:29:54 scary part is that the slug has *much* more horsepower and memory. Jul 26 09:30:11 <[g2]> hell the caches are almost bigger :) Jul 26 09:30:21 um...yes.... Jul 26 09:30:32 ka6sox-away: btw, how do you desolder memory chips? Do you use a heat gun? Jul 26 09:30:39 yes Jul 26 09:30:42 <[g2]> speaking of which have you guys run Zork on the Slug ? Jul 26 09:30:59 I read that there is a way to use low-temp solder to make the job easier. Jul 26 09:31:10 ya. Jul 26 09:31:52 Do you have any details? Is the heat gun easier? Jul 26 09:32:05 removal requires the gun. Jul 26 09:32:27 There's a piece in Make about it, but I don't have it any more. Jul 26 09:32:34 soldering can be done via gun (with paste) or individual pins (if you are steady enough) Jul 26 09:32:47 this seems to be way easier Jul 26 09:33:16 The low-temp solder would flow into the solder on the board and lower the melting temp of the solder on the pins. Jul 26 09:33:36 It meant that the whole process could be done with a normal soldering iron Jul 26 09:34:21 pins are *very small and close together* Jul 26 09:34:46 so a normal soldering iron would just create solder bridges. Jul 26 09:35:21 They used enough of the low-temp solder such that that didn't seem to matter. Jul 26 09:35:46 Don't misunderstand me. I don't quite get it myself, but I thought I'd ask some experts. Jul 26 09:35:55 * ka6sox-away has a picture...and it isn't pretty Jul 26 09:38:43 So, you use a heat gun and a heat shield? Jul 26 09:39:25 yes Jul 26 09:39:41 the nozzles are shaped for the individual chips. Jul 26 09:40:29 off to the mine...back in a bit. Jul 26 09:40:32 And there is a vacuum that sucks up the solder and chip once it is free? Jul 26 09:40:37 ttfn Jul 26 09:40:55 it lifts the chip off the board. Jul 26 09:48:09 [g2]: btw, I made a change to the APEX config so that we can build a non-BE version for the ixp's. It's now a config option. Jul 26 09:48:27 Actually, it was always a config option. Now it is user selectable on the IXPs. Jul 26 09:48:49 <[g2]> beewoolie-afk, cool. So you didn't make separate default config ? Jul 26 09:49:03 Not yet. I'll do so when I make the release. Jul 26 09:49:11 <[g2]> ok... Jul 26 09:49:13 <[g2]> THX Jul 26 09:49:19 I want to get the network code working as it's really close. Jul 26 09:49:34 apex> copy tftp://192.168.8.1/apex.bin 0x20000000 Jul 26 09:49:34 tftp_open: d->c 2 d->iRoot 1 '192.168.8.1' 'apex.bin' Jul 26 09:50:50 <[g2]> neat! Jul 26 09:51:14 <[g2]> makes for quick testing Jul 26 09:51:28 I thought so, too. It means that I can implement writing at some point. Jul 26 09:51:48 And that will be really helpful for testing, too. Jul 26 09:52:07 <[g2]> yes, but reading much more so Jul 26 09:52:15 Indeed. Jul 26 10:58:51 Yipee! It works. TFTP works! Jul 26 10:59:52 <[g2]> beewoolie-afk, CONGRATS! You Big Dog! Jul 26 11:00:01 <[g2]> beewoolie-afk, IS THE MAN!
