Is anyone familar with this stuff? I picked up a pile of it a week or
two back. The pod that I'm looking at right now if for the 6800/02/08 but I
think the others are for other CPUs. Anyone know what system it's for? The
interface board uses the same type female connectors as the ss-50 stuff but
many more pins and much larger circuit card. I found some mentions on the
net but nothing useful.

Drool on www.pdp-11.nl/homebrew/pdp8/pdp8startpage.html or

Have a *good* look at the front panel of the SBC6120, and compare
it with a real pdp8/e. You will notice that a few switches are
missing. Then check out my front panel ...
Given the Blinkenlight board set, you can build a replica yourself
either by (a lot of) DYI, or by grabbing a panel of eBay and make
a box around it. I am waiting on the arrival of an order of IDC
headers for the I/O Board to finish the 11/70 console ...

BTW, I will finish the 11/70 console and the first chap that
offers $10,000.- will get it :-) - working, running RT11, Advent
and perhaps RSX with the chasing light pattern ...

That should fix the first problem, and that should be easy...

Might. I don't know what macros are used, and what they do.
Remember, I don't really know RT-11.
But, like I said, it might be that just commenting that line out, and
see what macros fail will give you enough clues to what is missing that
you can either safely remove that, or write those macros on your own.

That was the VS-100, which is of historical interest because it was
was what the X Window system was developed on.
GIGIs are raster termials using the REGIS command set.
"REGIS graphics GIGI" turns up a few interesting google hits.
I scanned the two pages from the 1967 HP catalog. You can find it here:

It's a very nice quartz standard.

A heated XTAL oscillator used to derive 5MHz, 1MHz and 100KHz reference
outputs. Short term stability is probably around 1 part in 10^11 with
long term stability an order worse.
Units like this are often used as the master reference at HF, MF and LF
transmitter sites and should be calibrated periodically against a better
reference like a Rubidium standard.
Without calibration this is just as accurate as any XTAL source as the
frequency can usually be adjusted over 1 part in 10^7 and have a fine
tune (which if I remember the HP unit is a voltage input) that has a
range of 1 part in 10^8

You are the proud owner of an extremely stable 5, 1 MHz, and 100 kHZ
frequency standard. The drift over 24 hours is less than 5x10e-11.
Before atomic standards became "affordable", these beasties were the
secondary standards used in the lab.

OK, still sifting through this big pile o' stuff from DoveBid :-)
Some of you may recall that the lot included a PEP301 16 MHz System
Controller and I didn't know what it was. Well, its an IEEE-488
system controller built as an interface card and software combination
for a 386 PC clone. Its all branded with Tektronix logos though: main
unit, monitor and keyboard. Although there were no seals, it appears
new in box with a full set of manuals and software diskettes.
The manuals are a stock set of manuals for PC clones of the era
(GW-BASIC, MS-DOS 3.3, owner's manual for the PC) and a manual for the
Tektronix HPIB software utilities. There is this little dinky
pamphlet sort of manual for the keyboard. People seem to be selling
that online for some reason as if you need help in figuring out a
standard 101-key IBM PC keyboard?
I'll be scanning the Tektronix manual and uploading at some point and
try to make some disk images of the non-standard software bits.
