pdp11/34s FTGH in Dublin Ireland

2019-09-05 Thread Ronan Scaife via cctalk 

Dear All (mainly UK and Ireland),

We have a "lo-boy" DEC cabinet containing 2x pdp11/34a in half height 
boxes, and 2x RL02 drives.


It is available for free to be collected in north Dublin, 5 miles from 
Dublin port.


It is also about to be scrapped, so urgent action is required.

Please contact ronan.sca...@dcu.ie.

Best Wishes,

Ireland.' But I can't resist: I'm of Irish ancestry, though born and 
residing in Sydney Australia. Also "My particular interest is in DEC 
pdp-8 and pdp11 machines." Never thought I'd actually have any, until 
unexpected events of 2018 and ongoing. Now so far I have two PDP-8/S 
to restore ( http://everist.org/NobLog/20181104_PDP-8S.htm ) and two 
PDP-11: Rack 1: PDP 11/44 and one RLO2 diskpack drive. Rack 2: PDP 
11/34, two RLO2 diskpack drives, and one RK05 disk pack drive. Seems 
to be a complete, intact system. I have the side panels, various 
blanking panels, and assorted documentation. Still making arrangements 
for a long-term space to set them up and work on them. Regards, Guy 
Dunphy

Dear Guy,

good to hear from you!

My interest stems from the generosity of DEC Galway, Ireland, who helped 
start my (DSP, speech) research career
in the early 1980s with a generous donation of 2x 11/34s with RL02 and 
RX02.


I also have a MINC (laboratory instrumented 11/23) from Trinity College 
Dublin.


Quite recently, we acquired a pdp8/e (made in Galway) with RK05 and PC04 
from Dundalk Institute of Technology.


I haven't dared to power this up, but a few of my students have worked 
on a replica pdp8/e front panel patched


into a simh emulation on a PC.

I look forward to reading your blog.

My medium term plan is to interest the National Museum or equivalent in 
a section on (especially Irish-made)


technology, so the email was primarily addressed to people on the island 
of Ireland. However, most of what I


have learned over the years has been from guys around the world like you 
who are so generous with their


information.

Best Wishes,

Ronan Scaife
