Hello! I saw both it and yourself Ethan, at it as well. I was more interested in three other exhibits but yes did see it. Impressive. - Gregg C Levine gregg.drw...@gmail.com This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again.

[Simh] Unichannel
As preparation for an eventual implementation, I'm writing a paper on the workings of the UC15, as determined from the schematics. I've answered the technical questions, but I'm left with a business question: was it a commercial success? The online census of 18b systems dates from '72, before the UC15 was shipped, so it's no help. Of the surviving PDP15 systems, Mike Ross's pair are XVM Unichannel systems; it's impossible to tell what the Computer History Museum has; I don't know what other 15s are in private hands, so there's inadequate data to draw a conclusion. Anyone have information on this aspect of the Unichannel? /Bob ___ Simh mailing list Simh@trailing-edge.com http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
Re: [Simh] Unichannel
When I used a XVM 15 back in Syracuse, I was told that there were only about 15 (or some other small number) made. We did not use the 11 for much other then as a fancy print spooler. This was in the around '82. Rich As preparation for an eventual implementation, I'm writing a paper on the workings of the UC15, as determined from the schematics.
