Customer Newsletter

From 1988 to 2005 Robelle produced a monthly newsletter on the state of the HP server world, as well tips and announcements about our software products. We haven't produced a newsletter on a regular basis for several years, mainly because the rate of news items in our industry niche had dimmished greatly and Ron Seybold was doing a good job on industry news at the 3000 Newswire. However, this page contains an archive of the Robelle newsletters, starting from 1988 (before that they were hand-typed and copied). More from the Robelle Library: Past Technical Tips Papers HP encyclopedia Tutorials The First Newsletter Although this web archive only goes back to 1988, the newsletter has been published continuously since October 6, 1980. Bob Green returned from attending the International HP Conference in Montreux, Switzerland and discovered that he had notes on quite a few interesting HP 3000 developments that were not known in North America. Bob edited two pages of his notes, printed them on the line printer (UPPER-CASE only!) and mailed them to the Robelle customers. Response was instantaneous and enthusiastic: give us more news and tips about the HP 3000 world. Here is one of the items from that first newsletter in 1980: HP REVEALED SOME DETAILS OF MPE IV (TO BE RELEASED NEXT YEAR): OVERLAPPED SEEKS, MULTIPLE DISC CONTROLLERS AND CHANNELS, PERFORMANCE MONITORING TOOLS, ENHANCED DEBUG, SIGNIFICANT PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT THROUGH BETTER DISC I/O AND THE ABILITY TO SPREAD VIRTUAL MEMORY, INTERPROCESS COMMUNICATION, ETC.
