Hi Dave,
That's exactly what I remembered - *infinite* storage across many volumes
:-)
That enclosure looks practical as well. - Whats the PSU? Fortunately the
UK and Aus have the same power 230V (ish).
Given the level of completeness, I would be very happy to provide the
completed unit a new home if you are happy to send it.
If you do find the other board and bits, I would have a think about them -
Maybe somebody here in Oz would be interested - I will ask around - I dont
think I *need* a PDP8 cluster ;-) Maybe thats also a conversation for the
Minister of Parks and Recreation here :-)
I love that the IOB is surface mount - It has caused my brain to start
thinking about simplifying some of my STD bus based boards to be SM - So
much cleaner.
I can do payment via Paypal if thats ok? Just let me know what you would
like..
Kindest regards,
Doug Jackson

Doug,
Well I fished out the SBC + IOB and tested it. It actually boots from
both IDE disk and CF card.
I made a few pictures and video and stuck them on my one drive...

I need to dig a little deeper for the board and bits, but I only have a
CPU board, not an IOB...

Hi Dave,
I'll send this to the group, I suspect my email made it into your spam.

Hi Dave,
I was just researching the IOB6120 (I had an 8 at the end of the model..
sigh - memory is often faulty)
WOW - I had no idea that existed. I also had no idea that the
community picked up Bob's designs and ran with them so enthusiastically
- I
feel like I have been under a rock for quite a
while.
I would be very very happy to purchase your board + IOB that you have put
together - If the enclosure is not ideal, I am very happy to update that
-
these little boards are awesome.
Just let me know a Paypal address and shipping details.
Kindest regards,
Doug Jackson
