Hi,
I habe some pdp10 related docs which need to go away.
Anybody interested? Or should I dump it (and reuse the white folders foro pdp8 stuff)?
https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B0r5oqs3qGclUOi
Kind regards
Philipp

The canonical repository for historic documentation online is BitSavers.
It has an almost-complete set of DEC stuff (both manuals and prints. QBUS
devices are at:
http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/dec/qbus/
QBUS CPU's will be in the relevant model directory, e.g.:
http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/dec/pdp11/1123/
and disk drives are in:
http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/dec/disc/
I haven't checked your list, but I suspect most of them are there; I think the
ADV11-A prints are missing, though. You can either send the originals to Al
Kossow, or scan them for him; but check with him first, to make sure he doen't
already have them, just hasn't got around to posting them yet.
There's another site which indexes DEC online documentation:
https://manx-docs.org/
There are a very few things which aren't in Bitsavers, and can be found there.
> KFD11-A cpu
I assume that's a typo for 'KDF11-A'?

Does anyone out there have a "1" key (the one in the numeric keypad, not
the 1 / ! key) that they are willing to sell: me? I saw a couple of
partial keyboards go fairly cheap on ePay a couple of months ago but didn't
see it until it was sold.
Thanks,

Hello everyone,
Does anyone have the?Intellec MCS-8 8008 system monitor ROM files?
According to the Intellec MCS-8 manual the System Monitor is contained in five 1702A PROMs.My ROMs have a disk loader, but the disks system is long gone...
Any papertape software is also welcome for this machine!
Thanks in advance!Regards, Roland Huisman
I just acquired a Sun SPARCengine CP1200. To my knowledge the CP1200 is the
only 32bit SPARC with a PCI bus, which makes it pretty cool. It was also
extremely unpopular, because who wants a 100MHz MicroSPARC IIep when you
can have a SPARCengine CP1500 with a 270MHz UltraSPARC IIi (they were
released at the same time, and I suspect the cost difference wasn't all
that much).
Would anyone know where I can find a Sun PROM image? mine has a VxWorks
ROM, but I'd rather run Solaris on it. I've searched everywhere, and
couldn't find anything. Most "usual" places (e.g. the FE handbook) barely
acknowledge its existence if at all. AFAIK this predates field upgradeable
flash PROMs, so it's not hidden in a patch somewhere.
thanks

IN my continuing Digitalker saga, I did find a couple not horribly
priced Digitalker ICs online and purchased them.? As one arrived, I
found that my original IC was actually OK, but the cable from the
computer to the device has issues.
I've traced it to what looks like a heavy duty 16 pin IC socket on the
board that plugs into the computer, and into which a 16 pin 2x8 .3" DIP
IDC header plugs into (with the IDC cable going to another such header,
which plugs into a similar socket on the main synthesizer PCB).
The socket has the same basic footprint as a normal 2x8 16 pin .3" IC
socket, but it's much heavier duty.? I could replace with a simple leaf
socket, but would prefer to find a direct replacement.
Though I am sure other manufacturers sold similar, I find that Aries
sells that I need.? It's an Aries
16-8430-10 <http://www.beckwithelectronics.com/ARIES/16-8430-10.htm> (or
could be an Aries 16-8480-10
<http://www.beckwithelectronics.com/ARIES/16-8480-10.htm>) elevated IC
socket.? The link below shows the units:
http://www.beckwithelectronics.com/ARIES/8xxx.htm
Digikey has the 14 pin version in stock, but no 16 pin ones, and neither
does Mouser.? I'll keep searching, but they are very expensive and I'm
not sure I need 40 of them (minimum Digikey order).
Thus, I am wondering if someone on list has 1 or 2 they might be
interested in selling for the cause.
The good news is that I was able to get the connection to work, and now
the unit operates as designed. Still, I do not trust the socket.

I follow the first sentence, but I'm confused by the second, especially "a
cleaner answer to more-than-18 bit addressing". The UNIBUS MASSBUS
controller/adapter, the RH11, only has 18-bit addressing on the main memory
side. It does have more than 18-bit addressing on the device side, but so does
the RP11 (sort of). Are you thinking of the RH70? That does have access to
more than 2^18 bytes of main memory, but that's because it connects to the
-11/70 memory bus (as well as the UNIBUS, which is only used for control, not
data).
Similar questions about the speed point; passing data through an RH11 doesn't
increase the speed of the UNIBUS? Yes, the RH70 is faster, but that's because
of its connection to the -11/70 memory bus.
