It's part of Jim Stephens' collection, and was lent to me for VCF. It is a
maintenance panel off a 6180 series machine, like the panels in your
collection.
The roller is missing.
The text in the upper left reads "ADDRESS/SAMPLE TALLY CONDITIONS"
I'll take some pictures and send you a link.

good to hear this assures me of the sanity of trading one of our 77
dx microphones for one and some other odd things

It looks like the high bidder was the under-bidder on the previous one.

Folks! in the opening part of this movie Jim pans past a large white
front panel with leds and switches looks like form a Honeywell series...
more details or a close up and ask the owner more about it please?
Looks like a good show but I do not travel a lot #ed#

Hi,
here are some updates to the virtual Java panels for SimH ("BlinkenBone
project"):
* New PDP-15. This rare 18 bit machine is a dream in White & Blue!
Now we have PDP-11/20, 11/40, 11/70, PDP-8/I, PDP10/KI10 and PDP-15.
* Merged with official SimH 4, timestamp 2016-06-16
* Bugfix for light patterns on the PDP-11/70 panel in "DATA PATH" knob
position.
Now the "running snake" idle pattern of IAS is shown correctly.
* Added a 2.11 BSD UNIX installation for PDP-11/70 (yet another idle
pattern!)
There are precompiled distribution for Win32, Ubuntu x86 & x64,
Raspberry Pi and Beaglebone.
Just unzip and start.
Downloads: https://github.com/j-hoppe/BlinkenBone/releases
Web start page: http://www.retrocmp.com/projects/blinkenbone
And direct to the PDP-15:

Enjoy,

So I have the 6800 almost fully working, however I've hit one snag. ?
I loaded some of the memory diags as a first test, from txt files posted online. ?The first couple worked ok, but the third kept hitting an error immediately on start. ?
I thought little of it and was eager to try a bigger program. ?I tried Blackjack. ?However I noticed when it was loading.. instead of just the cursor remaining beside my L until loaded, it began dumping random stuff out.
So that's when I went back to that RAM test. ?I noticed it has having the same issue with a certain range. ?I realized then that my single RAM board was only covering from (I think) A000 up to but not including C000.?
So I used the jumpers on my DRC 16k boards to fill in the blanks, so to speak. ?But I'm stuck on the last one. ?The memory check now crashes at address 8000. ?Because my last MPM board was modified, I'm not sure how to get that particular range. ?I'm also wondering why I only get from A000 to C000 on my other MP-M board. ?The 16k boards can be set for wide ranges.. say 8000 through I think FFFF (can't look at the docs as SWTPC.COM went down tonight). ?I'm assuming the smaller RAM boards cover less? ?With three of the four installed, I can load a program via txt file without error but cannot run it.. if I hit G it just freezes there. ?So I'm not sure if I need to configure a ram board for $8000 up to $A000 or if I potentially have another problem. ?And because the MP-M boards are both modified.. I don't know what they are/were set up to do.

Hey all --
Picked up some lovely junk at the VCF consignment table today, amongst
which was an HP 110 with carrying case, floppy drive, thinkjet, and manuals
(including the service manual!). Not included was a means to power this
thing up.
Anyone have a power supply going spare? (Maybe even someone coming to VCF
tomorrow? :)
Thanks as always,
Josh
Been wondering about this for a while. Just one of those odd childhood
memories.
When I was a kid growing up in Oakville, Ontario, I remember Oakville Mall
getting one of those very early mall directory computers. This would have
been like, 1982-84, somewhere thereabouts. From what I remember, they had
kind of CGA-sh graphics and a chiclet 'keyboard' you used to browse the
directory. I'm wondering, were they just PCs, most likely? Or some kind of
custom job?
