So, I've been working for a while on a page about
DEC indicator panels (the
standardized 36x4 light arrays which go into a 19" rack, with an inlay to
customize it to a particular device). It's online now, here:
http://ana-3.lcs.mit.edu/~jnc/tech/DECIndicatorPanels.html
Does anyone happen to have a good image of an RK08 panel, or an RF11, which I
can use here?
Even better, does anyone know of, or have images of, panels which are not
listed here? (I am not including the unknown 'RK' panel in the RSTS document,
which will be the subject of a separate message.)
Have a look at http://www.corestore.org/pdp.htm
It's very badly in need of a refresh and update but you might find
some stuff there... especially the unique style of panel applied to
the later (XVM) pdp-15s.
I also have an odd box... it's pdp-8/L in style but housed several
sets of boards for controlling multiple paper tape readers/punches
IIRC... can't recall the DEC designator. It has an indicator panel
built in to the front of the box rather than mounted at the top of the
rack.
I know someone who can probably help with images of TC15 and RF15/RS09
