KM11 uPB question

by fritzm＠fritzm.org

Hey folks, While working on my 11/45, I built up a KM11 replica based on Tom Uban's ExpressPCB layout. I noticed the following behavior when trying to use it in uPB mode on my KB11-A CPU: * If I set up uPB, set KM11 S1 on and S2 off, and resume execution, the breakpoint fails to stop the processor * BUT, if I depress and *hold* CONT, while it is held down the CPU will be held in T2 on the target microword * If I then reach over and flip on S2 before releasing CONT I can hold the machine there in T2 Documentation on the KM11 seems to imply that the machine should just stop at the target state holding in T2 without having to do the holding-down-CONT-while-flipping-on-S2 thing. I was wondering if this was an oddity of my KM11, my CPU, or is that just the way uPB mode works on these things? thanks, --FritzM.

PDP-11/45 restoration running console emulator

by fritzm＠fritzm.org

Just wanted to share some joy here: after a months-long spare time restoration and debug process, the PDP-11/45 I've been working on booted to the M9301 console emulator last night (pic at http://fritzm.github.io/images/pdp11/m9301-running.jpg). Made me super happy to see that register dump an the "$" prompt :-) Next up will be using PDP11GUI to run more thorough diagnostics, then I'll be moving on to storage (RK05)... cheers, --FritzM.

CDC 6600 - Why so awesome?

by earl＠baugh.org

This thread reminded me that I recently got shipped what the person told me was a CDC 6000 Central Memory core. (it matches what's on this page : http://www.museumwaalsdorp.nl/computer/en/6400hwac.html ). He told me that the console looked like this : http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/gbell/craytalk/sld031.htm I got it along with a box other parts (mostly Sun things) and a single "plane" of core memory from another module. (It connects the 6000 to the Sun 1's that I picked up in the past... some interesting history...good "over a beer" stories :-) ) I'm coming to VCF MW this year so if there is interest, I can bring it along...

acoustic coupler/modem available

by jwest＠classiccmp.org

Spotted this at a local surplus place today. it's an acoustic coupler/modem, white plastic case, manufacturer is "MI2" (with the 2 as a superscript, so I guess "MI Squared"). Never heard of them. No clue if it works, appears to be in fair condition, they have a price tag of $25 on it. J

by stark＠mit.edu

You guys must have much larger apartments (or houses I'm guessing) than me.... I would really like a vt220 largely because it seems like it wouldn't occupy much space. I'm guessing they withstand shipping better too. -- Greg

Other then being original is there any reason to get a RX02 ?

by pete＠petelancashire.com

Someday I want to have a PDP11 even if it is a QBUS version I can get a clean RX02 for about $150. When my life involved PDP11's starting with 34A and ending with 44's I never used one. -pete
