Keep in mind that Bruce is taller than most people, so the console is
pretty big.
I will take some better pictures next week and add some objects for scale.

The System Console from the DEC PDP-10 KA-10 System #105 at
BOCES-LIRICS was recently donated to the RICM.
We are considering mounting a System-on-a-Chip to the back of the
console and making it a "live" PDP-10.

Remember the Model 1? I'm just letting the list members know I put a
YouTube video up covering this classic
This is the last notice I'll post on classicmmp.org regarding these videos.
I intend to gradually cover all the machines I've got and I don't want to
be accused of spam by using the list to notify people, even if some may be
interested.
Just subscribe to my YouTube channel if you want to
be alerted to subsequent videos.
Cheers

Err, not necessarily. I'm rather thinking that the corresponding LCD projector ("beamer") might have included or at least supported a "presenter", i.e. a wireless, handheld mini-trackball or hat-switch type pointing device, whose signals are relayed to the host system via the respective pointing device interface.
As only one of these interfaces is needed at a given time (ADB when connected to a Mac, either RS232 or PS/2 for a legacy PC, or USB for a modern one), it kind of makes sense to bring these out in a single connector (in this case, the DE15) and include the different adapter cables for connecting it to the host system.
I got a similar set of cables some years ago, these had a not-quite-MiniDIN connector at the projector end and either DE9, MiniDIN-6 or USB on the other. They were factory labelled as belonging to an ASK C105.
If so, very usefor for somebody having the corresponding projector, not so much for anyone else.
Hope this helps - so long,

Hi
One of the N8VEM builders wrote a draft magazine article that provides a
great overview of the N8VEM home brew computing project. It is so good I
thought other hobbyists would like to read it and better understand what we
are doing.
http://n8vem-sbc.pbworks.com/w/file/61597682/N8VEM%20article.doc
Most of these PCBs I have physically on the shelf waiting to go to builders.
Others will be reordered and builders always have the option of getting
their own based on the information on the website.

Please send me an email if interested. Thanks and have a nice day!
