Hey, my unit has some extra RAM and the parallel port expansion. Wonder
what he'd pay for those? ;-)
Never mind, I actually *like* the PCjr. It's an intriguing orphan.
it's not bad. Mostly bought by IBMers I'm sure. I've got lots of jr stuff.
Now that I'm moving my entire collection to the house, I hope to find all the
parts to connect up the jr hard drive to see if it actually works.
Found two of these this morning. I think they're some kind of bridge
board but I'm not sure. The cards are about 4 x 7" and have three LSI on
them along with various EPROMS and SSI ICs. The three main ICs are a
NCR/5380 SCSI interface, a WDC 2793 FD controller and a Hitachi HD63B03
CPU. Also has a 4 pin power connector like that used on a disk drive. Three
are two other coonectrors, one is a 34 pin IDC header and the other is a 50
pin IDC header. There are also three socketed resistor packs (terminating
resistors?).
Anybody know any more about these?

I think that one shouldn't forget how difficult it is, to get "old and interesting" machines.
To get a PDP-8 is certainly not easy if you just started collecting and if don't live in the states were it's a bit easier to get old computers.
I belong to the young members, too and I'm proud of my PDP11/23 I got on Ebay.
Young guys will certainly start to collect 10 or 15-year-old machines.
Computers of the 60s and 70s are cool, but try to find them in the year 2003 for less money...
Besides, nice machines were built in the 80s, I wouldn't draw a line at 1980...

The Happy Enhancement was made by Happy Computing who also did TurboDOS... I have several images of the rom's and I may have a manual if anyone needs it, let me know.

Hello everyone!
Since some people requested it, I uploaded the complete manual today. I
hope it will be of use for some of you:
http://cpp.seriousassault.de/pdp8/
Tell me if something is unreadable or if you have any suggestion for
improvement!
Regards,
Sebastian
PS: www.pdp8.net seems to have the same manual available for a few days
now. I did not yet have the time to check it out. Is it exactly the same?
Anybody on the list have the apple II scsi card rev "c" rom that they can make
a copy off? I am getting a scsi card for my IIgs but it only has revision "b"
rom. I dont have the "c" code or a burner. Willing to pay for the ROM chip and
shipping to Ohio.
Thanks
