NIC #12542
THE ARC SYSTEM WILL BE UNAVAILABLE FOR USE DURING THANKSGIVING WEEK

The ARC PDP-10 system will be unavailable for ARC and NIC users from Friday, November 17 (6:00 pm PST ) through Sunday, November
26. (10:00 pm PST).  This will give our hardware team a period of
nine days to work on equipment with a loss of only three SRI working days to users (Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.)

This is the Network Information Center's notice to its network users of the schedule.

In addition, a login message will be sent starting about 6 November to all users showing schedule.

It will read something like: "THE ARC/NIC PDP-10 SYSTEM
WILL BE UNAVAILABLE FOR USE FROM FRIDAY NOV 17 (6:00 pm PST) THRU SUNDAY NOV 26 (10:00 pm PST) FOR MAJOR HARDWARE WORK AS OUTLINED IN (12542,)".

For those who are interested, the hardware facility work to be done during this period will include:

Removal of the Bryant disk, Bryant disk controller and Cybernex drum-disk interference.

Moving the Tasker display system and DEC dispack (old and new) equipment to their new locations.
