Uhhmm, there *is* a standby LED on the front panel, it is
called BATT. You will see "something" of this LED only when
a battery is installed in the system. Here are the LED states:
OFF : battery voltage is below the minimum level required to
maintain the contents of the MOS memory, or the battery
is not present in the system (probably your situation)
FLASH SLOW : (once per 2 seconds) battery is charging and the
voltage is above the required level to maintain the
contents of th MOS memory if power is removed
FLASH FAST : (ten times per second) primary power is lost and
the battery is discharging while maintaining MOS memory
contents
ON : battery is present and fully charged.

Okay, it's just that I was testing the switch position just to see what it
did, and everything went off including the front panel. I guess it's
supposed to do that.
I don't know why DEC didn't put a standby LED on the front - you'd think
because it's already powering the MOS, you wouldn't care about powering some
silly LED.
What does that position do if core is installed?

My list of chemical exposure is huge, and includes automotive chemicals
and paints, industrial chemicals, commercial cleaners and degreasers,
and smart-but-stoopid kid exposures (smart enough to experiment, didn't
know about the risks). I do have a serious genetic disease that will
result in a short lifespan. I don't know if its from my life exposure or
exposure to a toxic dumpsite that my mother lived next to as a child
(hexavelent chromium and other stuff in Woburn, MA). Out of 4 kids I'm
the only one with the disease, so it could be from my technochemical
exposures.
I also have technology-hoarding disorders that I struggle with daily ;-)
in all likelihood Intel is far too simplistic an
answer (although I do recall seeing pictures of
multibus type boxes with an Intel monniker, so things
like that could possibly qualify). I suppose even a
sbc could qualify, or even some sort of add-on for an
established system. But sdks from Intel (or others)
dont. Seattle Gazelle? What about 80186 firsts? 80286?
I know the popular conception is that Compaq built the
first 386 desktop, but I seem to recall ALR being
numero uno (pretty sure it was ALR).

It is the standard CUT (color-lookup table) used in pretty much all the
early VGA especially IBM. AD is analog Devices which had a compatible
one. I don't have the time to get the datasheet out now (have midterms
this week), but I know I definitely have them (its in the graphics
databook as well which I certainly have), so when I have the time, I'll
put them online...

I have not found any interest on the net in this equipment, so
hopefully it might be worth something to someone if offered for free,
otherwise it may be destined for the dump when I have to move.
AT&T Unix PC (Internal HD, boots to prompt)
Vector Graphic Memorite w/ manual
Original IBM PC & Printer (both in zip up carry bags)
I certainly wouldn't turn down a small donation for anything here,
but I'd rather see it go to a good home than get pitched. I can't
afford to move everything I have with me off to school!
Thanks,
Chris
It's been a long time I had the switch at the Standby position.
*IIRC*, everything goes OFF, and only MOS memory is powered, but
there are a few wires on the backplane, where the power leads
are soldered, that connect the backup supply pins to the main
supply pins. To use the memory battery backup, you must remove
these wires, but without a battery and the charger plus a cable
to the BA11 power supply, it is useless.

Curt,
Do you still have the ATR8000 co-power-88 software and docs?
Let me know, I will have some free time this summer and I would like to lay out a new co-power-88 PCB and make it available to all those interested.

I scanned a few xxdp *listings* and the DL11-W is among them ...
Check http://www.classiccmp.org/bitsavers/pdf/dec/pdp11/xxdp/listings/
there is DL11-E, DL11-W, DL11, another DL11-E, and at the bottom of
the list are a few MAINDECs DL11-E, DL11-C-D-E. I might have missed one.
