Acincy.123 net.general,NET.general utzoo!duke!cincy!chris Thu May 28 11:54:21 1981 new site on the block This is to announce the presence of cincy on the net. We are the University of Cincinnati Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. Current research interests are sig- nal processing (specifically residue arithmetic filters), pattern recognition and picture processing, communications networks, solid state fabrication technologies, CAD, VLSI, computer architecture, logic design,.... (we're quite diversified). Current facilities are a PDP-11/60 which is shared between running RSX, UNIX, and SOLO. We run a very hacked V6, soon to be converted to V7. We are getting an 11/34 as soon as DEC delivers it, which should run mainly UNIX. Cincy will be moved to that machine then. It should have better phone equipment. We also foray into the biomed- ical engineering world, having recently done work in aneu- rysm detection. Our configuration is not too stable, and should expand a whole bunch if we get some money. We are interested in communicating with people of simi- lar interests, or folks who just want to chat about UNIX. We have lots of old (IBM 1130?) and small (AIM-65) equipment that is begging to have support software written for it. Our SS fab lab is excellent, but their support tools consist of a card-based system on the 1130 that drives an aging Cal- Comp plotter. I am personally working to change that. I envision a CIF based system with graphical front end (home written). It should be operational by the end of summer, based on U of Toronto's GPAC. I would be interested in hear- ing from people doing this kind of work. We are also interested in RJE to Amdahl systems. Any- body out there doing this (preferably cheaply?) There is talk going around about a homebrew Ethernet-like network, too, but no action yet. We currently connect to purdue and duke. We have only dial out equipment, so we would have to call you, if you sound interesting (the decision of the judges is final).
