After a couple of evenings spent tracking down a core memory problem, I
now have myPDP-8/L running (haven't yettested everything but it's been
looking good so far.)
There are four bulbs out on the front panel which I have some spares
for, but while going through the replacement I noticed that only one
("CA") of the six "Major States"bulbs is actually installed (therearen't
even sockets present for the other 5, doesn't look like they were ever
present). Is this typicalfor the 8/L?
I may install sockets for the other 5, because I'm pretty sure that more
lights = better computer...

As some of you know, I have two smaller children, ages six and seven. I
decided it was family movie night and busted out a copy of "Flight of the
Navigator." ... this is a Disney-produced sci-fi flick from 1986 and
includes some interesting CGI (from 1984-1985 if you think about it.)
So with the kids entrenched by the plot, I broke out the google and began
to search and try to find out "how did they do the cgi for Flight of the
Navigator?"
I found the following, which answered my question.

The F1 sounds like a very interesting setup.

Nomination for "post of the year". Good thing I didn't already have
my morning coffee, it'd have been in the keyboard for sure.

I am using a DEQNA and booting off SIMH running VMS 5.4. This has worked
fine for me multiple times before without issue. I have just tested both a
VAX 4000-200 and a MicroVAX 2000 (over thinwire, very slow to boot) and they
both boot fine, so I don't think there is a problem with the boot node or
the network.
I have tried replacing the cabinet kit (this is the same machine where I
have been having the cabinet kit problems), the AUI converter, the patch
cable, the DEQNA with another DEQNA and also with a DELQA. The result is
always the same.
I am not sure what the problem might be. I suppose it could still be
something at the network level. It might perhaps be the CPU board, but if it
gets that far into the boot sequence (already prompted for date and time)
this seems unlikely.
Any suggestions?
Regards
Rob
Howdy, all!
Someone here sometime offered some C64 boards without the SID. Are they
still avaiable?
Got 4 C64s in need of repair :)
Thanks!

It by default will return 403 to certain geographic ranges of IP addresses (China, Russia, Some Europe, South America, etc). I had way too many intrusion attempts from those areas, so they are by default blocked.
If however you try and access an actual existing web page on the site (rather than nonexistent PHP CGI stuff) it will put your IP into the allowlist, and the next time apache restarts (typically within an hour or so of the access) you can try again and the page will load.

I have a Tandy 6000 HD without keyboard do you know anyone who would be
interested.
I know that these were typically used for businesses and sported the XENIX
operating system but am not sure if it would be beneficial to sell or tear
down.

I have a DEQNA cabinet kit that does not work. I know this because if I
replace it with another one the activity light on the switch works and I am
able to see MOP requests coming from the machine to my boot node, with the
faulty one none of this happens.
Now, I have tested the fuse and I have tested the connectivity of every wire
>from the internal connector that connects to the DEQNA board (also tried
with a DELQA by the way) to the AUI connector on the outside of the cabinet
kit. Everything seems to be OK. But it doesn't work. I have tried "jiggling"
the wires a bit while testing the continuity of the wires, but it still
seems OK.
What other failures could there be?
Regards
Rob
