One though, if no one can help, see what it would cost to rent the locker, or find out what the cheapest/smallest one is and have this guy move it, and you rent it. I've done that before. On Tue, Apr 4, 2017 at 2:43 PM, Ian Finder via cctalk wrote: > If anyone would be

DEC PDP-14 Programmable Controller simulator

I have written a PDP-14 simulator using the simh framework. Paired with a PDP-8 simulator as a front end it passes all the DEC diagnostics. A pointless effort, perhaps, because there isn't much that can be done with it without connecting it to something to control. In the course of research, I

RE: KDJ11-B PDP 11/73 getting stuck in Exit standalone mode diag #56

Can you post a description of this box again? I had already deleted the earlier parts of the conversation. But it stuck in my mind. I hmay have the book on this box as I think it is the same as the couple I have. If so, there were two versions of the quad wide backplane. One is A-B-A-B

I had worked out a deal with him for the Apollo, but I'm travelling so pick-up will be hard (but doable as a last resort), and he won't ship. If someone else plans to go up there, would you be willing to hold the Apollo for me for a couple months so I can drive down and grab it this summer? It

Need help with a rescue need Chico / Paradise, California (can someone pick-up and hold?)

If anyone would be willing to rescue and hold a small-ish (large desktop) machine near there for later pickup by me this summer, it would be much appreciated. I can pay you a small fee either in beer or American currency. Please let me know if you're willing to help coordinate a rescue. --

Many thanks for these detailed answers ! :) Indeed, I finally do not know exactly what Nova my DCC is the clone. Another specialist suggested that it was rather a clone of NOVA 1200? Note that in Nixdorf contracts for the 600 series, these machines were sometimes updated with a new CPU over
