Why couldn't you get a piece of #20 wire and strip off an inch or so. Bend it into a U to block out two pins. It might need #18 or #22 but you get the idea. Marc On Thu, Oct 22, 2020 at 11:31 AM brian--- via cctalk wrote: > Hi all, > > Oddball question here: has anyone ever seen a way to cap

Hm. Even odder: When I went back to the original CPU board and changed the switch settings to that of the working board I got garbage on the VT100. Checking with a PC and PUTTY I see it *is* now working but at 19200 baud even though I have it set to 9600 baud... Switch packs may be bad among o

Interesting. I went up to the attic and opened the Unibus box. I have 3 extra 11/24 boards, and I have *NO* idea why. Oi. So anyway I started popping them into the 11/24 chassis to see what happens. Run/halt in halt, looking for anything. On the first one (old style) same problem: The CPU boar

I have not seen a cover but how about an empty header shell. I forget if they're called C-Grid but it's the ones you have to crimp pins and insert into the shell. I have those "in stock" but usually not bigger than 2x13, but if I wanted to protect something, that's what I'd grab off my shelf.

Ok, then my guess is this either came from a KI or a KA with a very different memory box. I'll put it in the collection, and oddly enough I'll bet that it could work in the 11/05 if one of those boards ever blow out. C On 10/22/2020 1:56 PM, Pontus Pihlgren wrote: I know for certain they had
