I used to use a 4010 as a console on a pair of PDP-8/ms at Ohio State - this is the rig with the rack of Diablo drives and the dual-ported controller I mentioned recently. I still have a stack of printouts from a Textronix hardcopy unit that was attached to it. I remember it was more cumbersome to use than a VT52 or VT220, owing to the storage nature of the scope. When at the OS/8 dot prompt and typing commands, IIRC, I had to hit some key or switch to clear the screen or it would wrap around and overlay older text. Long directory listings were easily mangled. Still, that particular color of green still takes me back to those days. I don't remember if a ^L or some such would clear the screen when running applications. I don't think I ever attempted ADVENT on it. :-) But congrats on getting your working. -ethan P.S. - nice clocks. If I had some play money lying around, I'd consider getting a CRT clock - as a kit, naturally. It would be a nice addition to my growing shelf of binary clocks. The New Yahoo! Search - Faster.
