Free (for pickup): RX02 external enclosure (Seattle, WA)

by derschjo＠gmail.com

I just rack-mounted my RX02 and I have no need for the "table-top" enclosure it came in any longer (as nice as it is). It's in good shape, but it's missing one rubber foot. Free to a good home. I'm near Seattle, WA. - Josh

ISO: Outer rails for RK05

by derschjo＠gmail.com

Anyone happen to have a spare set of outer rackmount rails for an RK05? I have the inner rails that attach to the drive, and I'm trying to track down the outer parts that attach to the rack, with the inner slide. Getting very close to having a semi-respectable PDP-8/m system put together, just need to get the hardware mounted. (And track down the impossible RK05 cabling. And debug the controller. And probably a dozen other things...) Thanks, Josh

Terminal Emulation for Windows - supporting Kermit File Transfer

by lehmann＠ans-netz.de

Hi, I'm using extensivly C-Kermit on my FreeBSD host to connect to various serial-line-only Systems. They also have a kermit executable so I'm using kermit -s to send data from those systems to my FreeBSD system and also getting files from my FreeBSD host to the other systems is working fine. I'm now looking for a way to get this "kermit file transfer" functionality from Windows but had no luck so far. Is there free-for-use Kermit alternative arround to be used for Windows or an other Terminal Emulation which supportes Kermit File Transfers "out of the box"? Yes - I know Kermit 95, but this is not free. Regards, Oliver

Introduction and RK05J Drive cabling

by saburwulf＠gmail.com

Hi there, long time viewer, first time poster. First an introduction: My name is Joshua Stetson and I'm a software engineer by trade. My earliest memories have always involved computers starting with a DOS based Zenith 8088 where I played some of my first games. My first foray into "classic" computing was on a Commodore 64 which my Uncle gave me while I was still in Jr. High. I'd already been introduced to programming at an early age, so this machine was an absolute treat to me at the time as it was my first step into assembly language. As time progressed, my interests turned older and I began a collection of S-100 gear including an IMSAI 8080 and a SOL-20. Over the past couple of years, I've managed to work back even further, piecing together a PDP-8/e system from various parts collected over the past 4 years and now I have a fully working 8/e including 32kw of core and an RK05E card set. I've been running the system using Kyle Owen's os8diskserver and David Gesswein's sendtape utilities which both work absolutely wonderfully. It was amazing to be able to run Adventure on a native system! I'd like to send a shout out to Kyle for the os8diskserver, that is some pretty awesome work there. David for his software and archive of DEC documentation which was indispensable for helping me debug a few boards and get everything running and tested. I also want to thank Vincent Slyngstad for his help and support on some questions. Now to my ask: Recently I've found a pair of RK05J drives and a few disk packs. One of my drives seems to be in fully working order, the other the blower is not working, so I'm working on fixing that right now. I'm currently missing cabling for connect these drives to the RK05E board set. If anyone happens to have an extra cable set they'd be willing to part with so I can bring these beasts back to life, I'd appreciate it! Ideally I would like to find the following: 7009026 Cable which is two ribbon cables with a M933B or C flip chip on the other end The interface cable between the two drives: BC11A The terminator card M930 At minimum, I'm pretty sure I'd only need the first cable to run one of the drives, but I'd appreciate any help from those who have more experience. Also, I don't have a rack for this equipment yet, so I'm running it all tabletop, but I'm in the market for a rack + rails (I only have the rails for the equipment, but not the ones that mount to the rack itself. Any leads on more 16-sector packs would also be appreciated! Also, still hoping to get the extended arithmetic boards, RTC, and possibly a TSC8 Timesharing option as I have 4 SLUs and would love to try out some timesharing. On a side note, I'm looking to perhaps sell or trade my SOL-20 sometime soon. It's 100% working as I restored it about 3 years ago. It works great, but I'm looking to part with all of my S-100 equipment to focus more on DEC. Thanks!
