Very interesting! Reading through it all now. I notice you use Tarbell
disk controller... difficult to use the SCP DiskMaster? I don't find many
references to systems running it. It supports SD/DD 5.25/8... I had
planned to go 5.25"

A year or so ago, I tried to figure out how to even see a detailed
breakdown of eBay's costs and commissions on several servers I'd sold
for a client. I gave up. I'm convinced it is purposefully opaque.
You get what you get.

Is there a 3D print gcode for the hardware that connects a PDP8a front
panel to the chassis?
Is there anyone who has a spare clips/clamps hardware to attach a PDP 8a
console to the chassis?
I picked up the donated PDP 8a mentioned earlier on this list, I got it up
and running. I need to track down the hardware to attach the front panel
to the chassis. I do have spares of the hardware that attaches the ON/OFF
panel to the chassis.
AS with all "free" donations it's the final mile that costs the big $$
Thanks

At this point I have achieved the SCP CPU card, a CPU support card and a
Disk Master card. So hopefully all I need is some kind of 16 bit RAM board
and a 4 slot S100 backplane and I can boot 86-DOS.
I have started to read through the documentation on the hardware.
Has anyone else been down this road and built a system to run this?

Hoping there's an Apple enthusiast out there somewhere please.
A friend gave me a PM G5 which I'd love to add to the Apple corner of my
collection. Must admit I love the G5 case. Problem is the internals are in a
million pieces but everything seems to be there. Its not a basket case, more
like a bucket case because I took the side off and basically poured it all
out.
My options are.

I like having a crack at fixing things first. I'm a preservationist first.
Problem is my GoogleFoo can't find any diagrams, illustrations etc on how
the internals are put together and I'm hoping some Apple person out there
might have something or be able to point me somewhere. (I did find some
photos at https://www.overclock.net/threads/power-mac-g5-build.1452312/ for
a twin CPU model but I need more detail for a single chip 2.0 GHz PowerPC
970MP (G5) model.)
Thank you.

There is a note from Christian Corti last updated 2017:
"..assembler listing generated with AS V1.41 from Alfred Arnold. ...which I
have added a code generator for the PALM processor."
I believe I've found a V1.42 of this on github. But the 5110 support is
not listed in the github or pre-packaged builds.
If Corti is available to help resurrect the notes on doing this, or if is
more familiar with AS and can help get things going?
Thanks!

Hi All,
I wanted to let the group know about a Bendix G-15 Restoration project I just launched:
https://headspinlabs.wordpress.com/bendix-g-15-restoration/
It's a pretty intimidating restoration (do no harm and all), so I'm reaching out to related sources, such as this group, for any suggestions or interest.
Thanks,
Steve
In the past, I have found a well written Intel 8080 instruction set reference
on the ClassicCmp website (at http://classiccmp.org/dunfield/r/8080.txt). But
now that URL returns "not found" message. Fortunately, I have already saved
that document on my PC local disk, and now you can get its copy from
http://manna5.c1.biz/8080.txt . Also, I want to ask if mirroring content from
ClassicCmp is OK for the ClassicCmp community, or maybe it isn't OK and I
should remove that copy from my site?

Hey Guys,
I was curious if anyone recognizes this punched card reader. Marked: AMP Incorporated - SYSCOM Division.
It’s extremely well-built; pulling the lever at right moves the chrome lip forward and ejects the card. Case is rather stylized which suggests it was free-standing.

Thanks,

Subject: Bendix G-15 Documentation

Bendix G-15 DocumentationDear Fellow G-15 Enthusiast,
I'm Rob Kolstad, and I am sending you this little informational blurb
because I think you are interested in Bendix G-15 projects (sometimes
because I have seen someone messaged you about such things in the last
two decades). Feel free to send me an 'unsub' note to never hear again
about such things.
This note announces the beta test of the first set of the documentation
collection:
https://rbk.delosent.com/g15doc.html
The collection includes 161 source documents (some duplicates)
comprising some 10,566 pages (including blanks). I have broken some of
the source documents into their constituent sub-documents (e.g., the
Technical Application Memos) for easy access, yielding 1,414 documents
in total.
The collection is by no means complete (coming soon: good large-format
schematics and perhaps a search bar), but it's a good start. I'll try
to scan the rest before the year is out.
The fine folks at the System Source Computer Museum in Baltimore have
gained, at least for now, several Bendix G-15's (and peripherals) along
with more than two dozen boxes of Bendix documentation mingled with
documentation of a large highway engineering firm's projects. The
collection also has hundreds of paper tapes in fabulous condition.
I scanned a fraction of these documents back in June and combined them
with my personal collection (thanks to Bob Sander-Cederlof in Texas)
and the documents from bitsavers.org and the Computer History Museum
(among others).
This documentation section forms one of the main parts of the soon-to-
be-released (2022) bendixg15.com website for all things G-15, including
software, hardware/restorations, emulators, news, photos, and notes.
Please feel free to check out the documents. I'll let you know in a few
months when the general web-site is available. Comments, questions, and
suggestions are always welcome.
