If there is a small effort to be made, it makes more sense for the sender to make it once than all the interested recipients to have to duplicate the effort. On the other hand, faulty spam filters may be more likely to stomp on messages containing urls so there may be also be a case for not including urls in postings if possible. Regards, Peter Coghlan.

PDP-8 core memory problems.

by mattislind＠gmail.com

For some time I have slowly been working on restoring our PDP-8 to operating condition. Here are some notes on the progress: http://www.datormuseum.se/computers/digital-equipment-corporation/pdp-8 It is sort of working now after reforming capacitors in the PSU, adjusting memory currents and replacing a 2N3639 in a MA, MB, PC (R211) board. But bit seven is still showing a 0 when trying to set it. I found an old note that I wrote somewhere in 1990 that indicated the same problem was present then as well so it hasn't happen lately. I have now concluded that the fault is in the core memory module itself. The sense winding is broken on bit plane 7. So what are my options? What are the chances that a repair is successful? It looks really complex to take it appart and get to to layer seven. Then to find the broken wire, somehow replace it and splice it together with the rest of the sense winding... Not an everyday job. Does anyone have a known good spare module? I have some MM15 modules for PDP-15 to trade with! Could a MM15 module be adapted to be used instead? It is completely different foot print and it is a three wire stack. The Russian stacks sold on Ebay? But what guarantees are that those work at all and can be adapted... Probably other memory currents and cycle time? Some other technology that can be used to make up for the missing bit plane. But what technology and how. With as little intrusion in the machine. I don't really want to replace the entire memory system with a battery backed SRAM... Any ideas, thoughts or a working PDP-8 core memory module is highly sought for! /Mattis

DEC Pro 350/380 Memory Cards - Interchangeability?

by robert.jarratt＠ntlworld.com

I have a 350 and 380. Neither work. The 380 is reporting a possible memory error on the LEDs. Will the 350's memory work in a 380 (or vice versa)? Regards Rob

Raised floor to be available for pickup in Sewell, NJ

by connork＠connorsdomain.com

Hi all, as per the subject some raised floor is about to become available. As much as I wanted and was going to grab this flooring myself, I can't. So this is the time for someone else who needs around 500-600 Sq.Ft. of raised flooring to go get it! This flooring is about 8in tall, so its not anything crazy like some of the newer taller stuff. The floor MAY be available, he is not 100% sure yet. The deal is they are selling the building and if the new owners do not want it, it is for grabs but must be picked up in the next 2-3 weeks. I am not sure, but you probably have to grab it all. The floor is located in Sewell, NJ as per the subject. It will be available for low or no cost depending on the interest level... Please contact Mike at: mbrotzman.jhu at gmail.com -Connor Krukosky
