Both these are pretty cool, I just wish they were available already populated!

It’s definitely interesting and exciting to see what’s available out there. Right now I’m simply trying to do some pretty basic work on getting things up and running. Back when I was actively using my Amiga’s, my main A3000 and the A500 were the two systems I used. I still can’t believe I have a working A1200, and never realized that it was only the TV out that was dead. The A600 was less interesting then, oddly enough, due to its size, it’s more interesting now, despite the dinky keyboard. I’m *still* trying to find all my floppies, and all my floppy cleaning kits. Pretty much everything else, except that and SCSI cables have been dug out. Zane
Re: Thinking of selling my PDP's
It sounds interesting, especially the pdp-11, but I don't know how shipping would work and it would be a long drive to try to pick up On Mon, 25 May 2020 at 16:46, Charles via cctalk wrote: > I am getting closer to retirement (although not close enough) and I'm > considering selling off my PDP stuff, especially if I downsize and move. > > Everything's working, but I just no longer DO anything with either > system... the adventure was acquiring all the pieces, fixing them and > learning the software :) > > Anyhow I have an 8/A with cloned Programmer's Panel (Vince Slyngstad and > I made it around 2006) and limited function panel, 32K RAM board (also > have core), Philipp Hachtmann's USB interface board, RX01 floppy, two > RL02's, and a high-speed (optical) reel-to-reel paper tape reader.

Most of those are Open Hardware, and all of them are available as Amibay as group buys or straight-up For Sale, or on Tindie. Free-ish CAD and design software has been very very good to the Amiga community. Doc
