Paul,
I can't believe it's been so long since you wrote to me. I
apologize for not getting back with you sooner. It looks
like I'll just need 2 of the H851s for the M8300 and M8310
cards. The other thing I especially need is an M8320
Bus Load Card.
Beyond those, I've got a line on an M8650 async card,
but I'm thinking I may want two before it's over with. So
if you've got one for a good price I might be interested
in it too. At the moment at least, I'm planning to either
get one of Vince's memory cards or to build something
similar.
Thanks
BLS

Hi Brian,
How many of the H851s do you need? Where are you located?
Can you call me some afternoon or night this week??
till 11PM Chicago time

For any of you who are on more than one of these
lists,
I apologize
in advance for your getting multiple copies of this.
Now that I'm moved into the new place and the man cave
(my basement)
is converging on a usable state and in recognition of
the upcoming 50th
anniversary of the introduction of the PDP-8, I'm
about
to embark on a
project to restore a PDP-8/M I got a while back.?
Unfortunately, this one
is somewhat incomplete..? So I'm looking to start
collecting some of the
bits I'll need before it's all said and done.?
The
items I need are in
descending
order of priority:
KK8E M8320 Bus load module
KL8E M8650 Async module
H851 Inter-module jumper blocks for the CPU boards
Memory
Storage device and controller
Power switch key
One front panel switch paddle
If you have any of those that you're looking to unload
(especially
the M8320 or the M8650), let me know.
Obviously, I can live without the switch paddle and I
should be able to
get a new key cut, but if anyone has extras lying
around, I promise to
give them a good home.? The truth is I don't
expect to come up with
memory or storage devices for what I can justify
spending.? However,
it turns out I do have an Omnibus prototype
board.? So I'm planning
to use that to build a device to emulate a set of
RK05s
using an SD
card for storage, and if need be, I can put memory on
there too.
Thanks in advance,
BLS
