[TenTec] Re: Highlights of German Orion Review

[Rick Westerman]

Mario, now you are mixing politics with computers!

VMS, as well as NT was not developed by Bill Carter, nor by Jimmy
Clinton ;-)

In fact it was David N. Cutler.

To be exact, Dave was NT's chief architecture, but he was really
only 1/3 of the VMS design team.  The other two were Dick
Hustvedt and Peter Lipman.  The overall project was driven by
Gordon Bell.  As you said, the devil is in the details!

As for details in tests, believe me, the Germans do it in as much
detail as you might wish (too much for my liking).  The first
ORION test was not the thorough test (what you guys call the
extended test) but rather just the operational part of the test.

KB3MM> You haven't stressed it enough. <gr>

I am still in shock as I expected XP level of performance from
Bill Carter's
NT just like VAX VMS was a good product!

Last time I had memeory errors was when developing my own 100 MHz
FPGA
board...

Not strictly Tentec subject so let's add 20 dB attenuation to
KC1SX S5
example in order to reduce IMD3 products by 60 dB.
Weak 160 m signals should be above high level of natural noise in
the order
of 40 dB.
Tough weak DX-ing is on 2 m band but that is not pursued much in
USA.

P.S.  Main difference between DL and UK/USA approach:  God/Devil
is in the
details!
