PDP-8/e restoration (was Re: Oscilloscopes)`

At the moment, I can't verify proper serial operation so I can't load diagnostic tapes. I have two boards - M865 and M8650. I have a homemade (tested) RS-232 cable for the M8650 and a 20mA cable missing the black Berg housing (Mate-n-Lok on one end, crimped on gold pin contacts on the other - no 40-pin connector body). The M865 has a 12" cable and a Mate-n-Lok 20mA connector on it, but I can't find my box of TTY cables (to hook up my VT220 to it). I still have this pr/s01 20mA portable papertape reader, but I still know nothing about it, especially baud rate. I haven't yet hauled a 'scope out to the place the -8's are at. That's one of the next steps. -ethan ===== Infinet has been sold. The domain is going away in February.
