PDP-8 questions

by mtapley＠swri.edu

All, an humble suggestion: 1) Use cheap pine with a nice stain to make some "temporary" panels 2) plant a rosewood tree 3) maintain the machine for ~100 years 4) cut down your rosewood tree, make "real" panels out of it, and sell the excess rosewood to pay for electricity to run the machine. 5) meantime and most important, get back to classic-computer discussions on this list PS: Philip H., you are absolutely positively the man! I thought nothing could change the currently sagging signal/noise ratio on the list and my heart sank when I saw the 87k archive ... but then! / SPACE WAR / / INTERPLANETARY DEATH AND DESTRUCTION ON YOUR / LAB-8/E .... Now *that* is the kind of post we need more of!

PDP-8 questions

> You're looking for the spacewar you're citing above? > > I currently don't know where I have the original source - I modified it > to fit my LAB-8/e Real time clock and a pair of joysticks.... > Thanks for an on topic reply :-). I have the original of that version but its stripped down enough that its only sort of spacewar. I had heard there was a better 4k version and was hoping someone had it. I'm going with laminate, can we let the other thread die?

PDP-8 questions

Because when the environment has been destroyed and there's no place that the "damn" trees will grow then you can't plant them successfully. You guys are pathetic.? As I said before, is it so difficult to think about where materials come from? Regards, Jim

RX01/RX02 rack slides needed

by mcguire＠neurotica.com

Hey folks. Does anyone here have a set of rack slides of the sort used by DEC RX01 and RX02 drives that they might be willing to part with on short notice? I'm willing to pay for them of course, but I'd like to keep it reasonable. :) Thanks, -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA

That festering sore in Germany

by wdonzelli＠gmail.com

> A bit hampered on that through lack of German and not wanting to sign up for > a German web site. ?Jim Austin http://www.computermuseum.org.uk/ was asking > who owns it? Any pointers any one. I have known about this pile for a few years now, and I have not been able to pin down who owns it, or if anything is being done to save it, past Computer History Museum's haul. At least they pulled some great stuff out. Most of it at this point looks like scrap, but I would like to see that CDC 841 disk system saved, even if it was a dog when new. Also the CDC tape and printer, and I suppose the comm unit. -- Will

PDP-8 C compiler

by v.slyngstad＠frontier.com

Rather than simply rekindle this annual discussion, I've decided to create a data point. So, you can read about (and download) an experimental PDP-8 C compiler at: http://www.so-much-stuff.com/pdp8/C/C.php I thought about delaying this notice until the first, but decided that since there really is a compiler of sorts there, that it would be more appropriate to do it now. Comments about the design decisions, improvements for the code, etc. are all welcome. Vince -- o< The ASCII Ribbon Campaign Against HTML Email!

IBM 083 maybe available

by wdonzelli＠gmail.com

I have a lead on an IBM 083 card sorter, located on the east coast. I do not know the condition. I had hoped it was an 084, but no such luck, and I already have two 083s. Any interest out there? -- Will

Anyone; I have an HP 5036A Microprocessor Trainer that I need two PC Edge connectors for. These are used to "Expand" the 8085 based trainer (without soldering right to the motherboard). The Gotcha is that these 44 pin, 22 position edge connectors are for thick, 3/32", .09375 boards. TRW?CINCH 251-22-30-341 ? Do you have any idea of a resource/lead where I could find these? ? I have tried CINCH, Mouser, DigiKey, Ebay, Electronic Surpuls sales, etc. with no luck. ? Thanks in advance for your kind response.?? Tom K.?
