I am pretty sure the SBC6120 would be of interest at DEC Legacy. There are
people
who bring "real" PDP8s as well, but not everyone can have one of
those, so an SBC6120 is certainly going to interest people. I would like to
see it >at the next Manchester meeting.
How easy is it to get an SBC6120?
Not really sure. I am beginning to think this lark is a bit like fishing.
You sprinkle a few bids on E-Bay, post wanted requests on mail lists, visit
a few Ham Fests, mention your hobby on air etc. More often than not the fish
gets away, or you hook an old boot or supermarket trolly, but sometimes if
you keep fishing you get a pair of boots. If you persevere sometimes you get
a nice fish, but sometimes it is too big for the boat and sometimes you
throw it back only to realize later it was what you really wanted....

Rob,
I now have a "new to me" SBC6120 from Ulrich up and running using an
"old"
Qume terminal with VT102 emulation. Do you think it would be of
interest
to
the folks at DEC legacy or does every one have one? I
will take it to
the
next
Manchester Vintage Club meet at the end of the month.
What does one call an SBC6120 btw. The Harris CPU is I guess "Vintage"
as
it
seems to date from pre- 1990 but the board is modern,
its not a
"clone" as
such
is it? Or a replica or reproduction?

P.S. if any one has any SBC6120 add-ons they are willing to sell or
swap I
am
interested...

Dear Phillip,
I came across your correspondence regarding an interface card to the
PDP8 Omnibus.
Did anything come of this and if so, are there any cards left?

When you get them working do let the list know. I only live in
Stockport would love to see them working. You should bring them
along to the
next
DEC
Legacy (whenever that will be), working or not.
What are the problems with your machines, power supplies, logic?
Regards
Rob
