The April meeting of the AT&T COMPUTER USERS GROUP, SOUTH BAY CHAPTER, will be April 19, 1989 at the AT&T facility in Sunnyvale CA. See agenda (below). These meetings are the third Wednesday of each month. The address is: The AT&T Building 1090 E. Duane Avenue Sunnyvale, CA The facility is located on Duane, just one block south of US 101 (Bayshore) just off Lawrence expressway. From 101, get onto Lawrence, turn right onto Duane, and proceed straight onto AT&T property; follow the perimeter road to the "back" of the building, park in the visitor's area, and enter thru the multi-doored entrance.

PLEASE bring already-formatted disks (10 sectors/track preferred) to save time. We meet in the "Student Lounge". The "hot" topic is the SCSI project recently discussed in the unix-pc.general newsgroup; Mike Thompson will provide updates. For those of you with AT&T's MS/DOS compatible systems, the Librarian will have the club's PD library available for copying, etc. PLEASE bring proper MS/DOS formatted disks for exchange. Only Public Domain and/or Freely Redistributable material will be available. The membership of this Users' Group presently comprises computing professionals interested in AT&T products. Users and owners of ALL AT&T systems are welcome! I'm posting this as an elected officer of the Group ("Member At Large") and can answer (most) questions you may have. I'm also "catching up" on email correspondence, so please be patient; 3 months' worth of 25 hours/day, 8 days/week at work has prevented my active participation recently. I'll be posting more details about the Users' Group, its newsletter, membership information, etc. Additional information is available from: Mark Dill AT&T Public Relations 408/995-3966

Gee, Alex, just turn right at Washington DC, continue straight, turn right at Los Angeles, continue straight, turn left at Sunnyvale, and there you are. As someone else once said: "No matter where you go, there you are." :-) :-) Seriously, with increased participation, the intent is to include UNIXPC SIG info in the club's newsletter (500 copies go out each month), and a summary posted here would be quite appropriate (esp. with the first "project" underway (the SCSI board)). Unless someone beats me to it, I'll post an update by this weekend; I have the AT&T meeting Wednesday, Amiga developers' meeting at Stanford on Thursday, and yet another users' group meeting Friday, so this weekend is the earliest I can get back onto the net. Just some of the SCSI docs I've collected so far (archived on one of my Amigas since it has >1GB SCSI HD): CLI7> ls -l ----ar-e- 88-09-30 00:20:05 5 2384 Agencies.txt ----ar-e- 88-09-30 00:24:05 2 695 email-header.sward ----ar-e- 88-09-30 00:23:27 7 3020 QIC-40.1 ----ar-e- 88-09-30 00:24:27 10 4709 QIC-40.2 ----ar-e- 88-09-30 00:24:54 15 7083 QIC-40.3 ----ar-e- 88-09-30 00:25:16 2 732 QIC-40.4 ----ar-e- 88-09-30 00:26:36 4 1586 README.1st ----ar-e- 88-09-30 00:30:01 2 964 readme.doc ----ar-e- 88-09-29 23:54:00 42 20298 scsi.0 ----ar-e- 88-09-29 23:54:49 11 5361 scsi.1 ----ar-e- 88-09-30 00:43:42 1 213 scsi.2 ----ar-e- 88-09-29 23:55:50 7 3318 scsi.3 ----ar-e- 88-09-29 23:56:35 56 27324 scsi.4 ----ar-e- 88-09-29 23:51:13 109 53143 scsi.5 ----ar-e- 88-09-29 23:57:41 47 22848 scsi.6 ----ar-e- 88-09-29 23:58:38 132 64263 scsi.7 ----ar-e- 88-09-29 23:59:58 223 108697 scsi.8 ----ar-e- 88-09-30 00:00:56 141 68384 scsi.9 ----ar-e- 88-09-30 00:02:33 63 30731 scsi.910 ----ar-e- 88-09-30 00:03:17 12 5647 scsi.911 ----ar-e- 88-09-30 00:04:12 80 38770 scsi.912 ----ar-e- 88-09-30 00:05:21 9 4021 scsi.913 ----ar-e- 88-09-30 00:06:00 8 3576 scsi.914 ----ar-e- 88-09-30 00:06:49 16 7729 scsi.915 ----ar-e- 88-09-30 00:08:00 9 4222 scsi.916 ----ar-e- 88-09-30 00:09:10 23 10958 scsi.917 ----ar-e- 88-09-30 00:10:03 22 10282 scsi.918 ----ar-e- 88-09-30 00:11:24 9 4121 scsi.919 ----ar-e- 88-09-30 00:12:14 8 3761 scsi.920 ----ar-e- 88-09-30 00:12:54 5 2415 scsi.921 ----ar-e- 88-09-30 00:27:06 1 287 SCSI.BBS ----ar-e- 88-09-30 00:27:36 3 1035 SCSI.DOC ----ar-e- 88-09-29 23:48:32 1 147 scsi.ruler ----ar-e- 88-09-30 00:28:13 8 3727 SCSI2.TXT ----ar-e- 88-09-30 00:29:06 3 1067 SCSI_FILE_SIZE_CHECK Dirs:0 Files:35 Blocks:1096 Bytes:527518 CLI7> Mike Thompson and I intend exchanging "notes" at Wednesday's meeting.
