Can I easily
test the mechanics, on/off switches, lamps, motors,
etc, without hooking up the TC11? I think there is a local
mode switch and wondered what all could be tested easily
without hooking up the TC11. I will be studying the documentation
to get a better idea about things. I have a TC11 that also needs
to be cleaned up. It has a layer of dust on it and needs a couple
boards, which should be here soon.
I am also hoping to start firing up my PDP-8 and TU56 in the next few weeks
[the
lab is
almost re-built!!!!!] so perhaps Ashley and I could
coordinate our (limited)
knowledge
and run various tests in parallel....
Yes, it is more fun (and educational!) if more than one person is working
on the same project. Sharing knowledge, successes, and failures is a
good thing. Keep me informed on your progress and I'll do likewise.
