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.

id this Performance Technology Inc card?

by rigdonj＠cfl.rr.com

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? Joe

YADA10YR (Yet Another Discussion About the 10 Year Rule)

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...

PDP-8/L Maintenence Manual Vol II

by sebastian.brueckner＠epost.de

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?
