Hello, made some progress with the pdp 11/34 I picked up a while back. Managed to repair the faulty power supply. I am in the process of trying to get a minimal configuration of the machine up and running.
I am looking for a short program to key in to try and test the functionality of the cpu. Is there anywhere aside from the DEC manuals I could go to get a quick idea of how to operate the front panel? The manual is very in depth, however i am looking for sort of a quick start guide to get started pretty quickly. Any site with info on how to operate the front panel or some quick short programs i can key in would be of interest. I almost have the whole machine put back together on my desk, if all goes well and it runs as expected, i want to post back with some nice orderly pictures of it in the rack next to all the drives and the tape Drive. Progress overall with the whole machine has been slow going, the machine came with a heap of rsx 11 disk packs and tapes, however I am not to the point where i can use them just yet. Ive been kinda itching to see whats on those tapes, hopefully soon. --Devin
