MDL is running in ITS
Hello, People have been earching for PDP-10 MDL for a long time. Finally, we found source code for TOPS-20 including slightly bit-rotted ITS support. It has now been fixed and is up and running in ITS. Twenex people are welcome to give it a go too. This is published with permission from Chris Reeve and Tim Anderson: http://github.com/PDP-10/muddle Next is, of course, trying to run Zork. How to do that is an entire research project of its own. Best regards, Lars Brinkhoff

Cybernex APL-100 terminal
Does anyone in the group have access to documentation for the Cybernex APL-100 video terminal? All that I've been able to locate is a 4 page brochure for it; they were originally made in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have vague memories of using one of those back in my Athabasca U days. Let me ping a couple of people and see if there are remnants. --lyndon

Re: VME Bus
Depends on the exact processor board you have... MVME147/162/177 all use the same MVME712 transition board. The manuals are on bitsavers and contain the pinouts. But it's mostly academic as you can't just build your own "simple" adapter. Some of the signals are multiplexed and need to be decoded. MVME712 boards are easy to find and cheap, the corresponding P2 adapter boards (and the cables to connect the P2 adapter board to the MVME712) seem to be a bit rare ;( On Mon, Apr 23, 2018 at 4:47 PM, David Coolbear via cctalk < cctalk@classiccmp.org> wrote: > I hope this qualifies as classic computing... > > Does anyone have the pin-out for the P2 connector on MVME processor boards? > I think that the pin-out would be the same for MVME147, MVME177, MVME162, > etc. and would mate with the P2 adapter board. >

I have a 300-1024 that came out of a 4/260 or 4/280. Unfortunately it is missing some of its magic smoke and was swapped for a spare. I never got around to opening it up to see if the failure was obvious and if it could easily be repaired. I no longer have any other Sun gear so I have no use for this one if it would be worth the cost of shipping for either spare parts or to try to repair it.
ISO Sun (Fuji Electrochemical) 300-1024 power supply
I have a x/280 server chassis that has a power supply that's acting up (DC shuts down after a few seconds) Anyone have one they can spare? Sun PN 300-1024 http://www.shrubbery.net/~heas/sun-feh-2_1/Systems/Sun4/DCPOWER_Fuji_1024_850W.html or has anyone seen this problem before (caps in the DC monitor circuit?)

WOW! neat indeed... we have a complete Honeywell computer room system in mini form and so a cdc system These do not come up often for sale.

VME Bus
I hope this qualifies as classic computing... Does anyone have the pin-out for the P2 connector on MVME processor boards? I think that the pin-out would be the same for MVME147, MVME177, MVME162, etc. and would mate with the P2 adapter board.
