Sorry guys. No such luck..
I just managed to acquire a empty 8/M chassis recently. A feat to say
the least.. PDP-8 parts seem to have all but dried up, and I'd expect it
to get worse.. :={
So now I'm on the lookout for 8E boards/module..
I was asking if I can use 8E boards in a 8M chassis with the H740 PSU.
All evidence so that it is possible, but the only thing is that the H740
lacks a 8VDC to drive the bulbs in the KC8E panel, right?
If that is the case, then it'd be a simple mod; I'll just whip up a 7808
via the 12VDC and feed it to the bulbs, should be workable..
If you're planning to gut an 8/M, I would be
interested in
obtaining an empty chassis.
I'd be interested in an empty -8/f chassis as well... I already have
two KK8E board sets and several 4K and 8K core planes. An -8/m or
-8/f chassis would be the perfect place to put the second set.
Ethan, would you be willing to part with 1 of your KK8E and perhaps 2 of
your MM8EJ? For a reasonable price of course, don't expect them to be
free.. :-)
