Well darn! I forgot I don't have the KEF11-A chip installed so Fortran

I have seen one for sale but it is rather expensive at almost $400.....
Guess I'll have to keep an eye out.
I'll give the tapedup code a try on my PiDP-11 instead.

This feels a little like grave robbing to suggest, but there is a seller on
Ebay that has KDF11-BB (I assume) M8186 boards with floating point chips for
$100. You could get one and transfer the chip to your M8189 - I think they are
the same FP chip.
I just bought one, not for the FP chip (my M8189 has the KEF-11 chip), but my
VT103 needs a nice processor.

Why not sell the board you bought to Peter? Or sell him the chip...you've got
what you needed from it...
John :-#)#
Because I want the board with the FP chip also. I want my VT103 to be able to
do Fortran on RSX-11 as well. I suppose I should have said it needs a nice CPU
board. My original wording sounds like I just wanted the CPU chip which is not
the case.
