first off, be warned.  I just found this list, and its been some time since
I've used bitnet, so I'm a little rusty.
 
most important question, did this message get posted?  if not, please disregard
the remainder of this message ;)
 
second of all, I just received a pro-350, and p/os 1.7 (ancient, yes) and the
self diagnostic screen comes up (the graphic drawing of the computer with the
error number beside it) every once in a while telling me I have a software
problem.  it's happened too many times to ignore.  anyone with p/os 1.7 have
this problem?  (I doubt I would be so lucky that it is simply a software
problem, but better to ask before breaking it open).
 
murphy's law says its either a bad spot on the hard drive (which wouldnt be so
bad, its only 5 meg and I wanted a larger one) or a problem on the board, which
gives me something to poke around in over the summer.

Are you sure it's a software problem?  If you post both of the error numbers,
I can look them up in my pocket service guide.  If it is an OS problem, just
reload the operating system (did you try booting from the diagnostics
floppy-based OS?).  If you don't have an OS to reload, email me, I have
v2.0.

P.S. to law-nerds:  DEC has released its PRO software as freeware (copy-
righted but freely distributable), including the OS and DEC-released
applications.
