Yup, all that mewling you were getting from me up till 2 weeks ago came from an FC2 install that was, according to the package managers, thoroughly broken, but it generally all worked very well indeed. I fixed the stuff FC2 never did, or took most of its life to fix. >Jeeeez... > >I have installed FC6 and I don't find anything to mount a punched tape >reader to... you might have to wing this one.

I can only pray you are not going to attempt >to upgrade! <really huge evil grin> Don't ever knock an ASR-33, or a Zerox 1650-ro. I still have the 1650-ro and it can still spit out characters at 40 cps, the fastest daisy wheel ever built, and after at least a billion characters, its still running on its original wheel. It could probably survive on of those iraqi built IED's as its built like a tank & just as heavy. And why not upgrade, pray tell? Just because I know how vaccum tubes work (transistors were invented on my watch way back when) and was writing code for an rca 1802 before most of you folks were even a sparkle in somebodies eye doesn't always mean we're stuck in the mud. Having trouble keeping up at times leads to some rtfm moments from you youngsters occasionally, but generally, in my field of broadcast engineering, I'm the equ of the character Sid in the user-friendly cartoon JDF draws. Often just as complete with a coffee cup grafted on in place of a hand... But my beard is shorter cause I take it off in the heat of summer & I have more bay window. And that tie he wears would choke me to death. Not a pretty picture but what you see IS what you get. >Oh yeah!
