On Friday 12/3 I will be heading down I-95 from NY to Va. to pick up a great
find...Returning Saturday (or possibly Sunday). I will have an SUV with
Trailer. If this can be of use to anyone (especially those looking to get
rid of DEC equipment to a good home <grin>) drop me a post.
Seriouly, anyone on list into DEC (especially PDP-8) who is near this route,
drop me a note....

Talk about shooting the "poster".
Your memory is failing you! :-) Not only did I "notice" your
exhibit, I actually talked to you about it and even
photographed it - how could I have possibly missed it given
the very prominent placement assigned by Sellam! In fact, as
I discussed with you, I was at the session when Jim Willing
smoked it (popped the tantalums) at VCF 4. Indeed, at that
session Jim Willing borrowed a BNC to RCA connector from me
(that I was using with my IBM 5100) to put what turned out to
be garbage composite video up on a screen.
I just went back through the raw photos I took and I saw that
the photo I took of yours turned out very dark, which is why
I left it out the first time around. I will do what I can
with Photoshop and add it to what I posted - give me 1/2 hour.
Mea culpa,

I recently acquired a virgin Burroughs Panaplex display, and
can't find data for it. It's a 24-line, 40-column display, tube
only. Character matrixes are 5w x 9h (!) so it'll do decenders.
The only markings are a simple "N-0008" on one edge. It's got
double staggered rows of pins on all four sides. The whole
thing is about 8" x 10".
I know how (on paper) to drive panaplex displays (it's nasty)
and would love to work up a nice display with this thing if I
can find pinout data. Any ideas?
