Some would say this is not vintage, classic or collectible (and so
shouldn't be discussed here). However, these are all subjected terms which
can be (and are!) argued about at length.
To me it's a noteworthy model which had some impact on personal computing
(notably by helping put Apple back in the game). Vintage? At only 18
years old perhaps not but a classic and collectible? As time goes by I
would say yes.

Specifically, "TIB0203 Magnetic Bubble Memory: System Application Manual", 1979
Libraries in Australia and China apparently have this, but
unfortunately that doesn't help me much.
I'd be interested in other documents relating to TI bubble memory. I
already have "TIB0203 Magnetic-Bubble Memory and Associated Circuits",
November 1978, and both the April 1977 and March 1980 editions of "TMS
9916 Bubble Memory Controller".

I've provided Rod with a mechanical drawing, and a scan, of an 11/35 front
panel (identical to the 11/40, except for the number). Here:

if you have any use for it.

Just wanted to drop a line here- despite a shipping misfire, Rod Smallwood's replacement 8/e panel finally arrived yesterday and they look KICK ASS!
Thanks, Rod!
I'd love to start building artwork for the 11/40 panel- mine looks pretty sorry at the moment. Does anyone here have scans to get started with and best practices to use?
Thanks,
- Ian

Hey,
I'll be driving around southern and central California in a few weeks. Will be between LA and Yosemite Park.
Does anyone have a garage or other pile of computers that you want thinned-out? I can come-by and take some of it off your hands.
Thanks-
Steve.
I seem to remember there is an entry point that one can use to reinitialize
BASIC already loaded into core memory, with the intention of re-answering
the questions about MEMORY SIZE, Use SIN?, etc. Is this correct? I looked
in the docs I have b ut I could not find it. If no one has this info I
will have to disassemble, IN a HEX editor I see the questions are all at
the end.

The 2000 isn't fully compatible either i thought since its one of the few PCs using the 80186 processor. When i acquired mine (also without a monitor and i think without keyboard or software ) i sort of accepted id likely not get it running. But perhaps the ?software is out ?there and less of a concern than i thought.
I didn't know it was compatible with the cm-1 but i never checked what video card mine had.
Still an interesting system historically.

Ah. Well, if you want to add one (I assume you've just re-jumpered the
machine for the moment), I do have one we can copy (for the PC etch) - I'm
assuming here that originals are now unobtainium.
Also, if you have the KE11-E, but not the KE11-F (the former is a prereq for
the latter), and would like one, I have one I have no use for (Unix doesn't
use that version of the PDP-11 floating point), and would be willing to trade
it for something I do have a use for.
> My error. Lesson: Always check everything.
Yes, always a good rule when dealing with recovered machines. I always take
them apart and go through them completely, verifying all cables, etc from the
original documentation.

This may be a pointless question, but just to clear the ground first: the CPU
is otherwise functioning reasonably well? E.g. it's not dropping the 020 bit
when reading words from memory? (That would convert the '220' new PC in the
vector to '200', and produce exactly the behaviour you are seeing.)
If it is otherwise more or less working, so this is specific to IOT trap
handling, I agree with Fritz - a KM11 would be a big help.
