I just looked at my message in "digest mode", and
the word wrapping was bad, so I am reposting.
I've been out in my shop this morning getting
some VT52 DecScopes out of the back corner to
prep them for shipping. I decided to boot up
the old Wofford Witch PDP-11/40, since it has
not been booted since November. While it's up
and running, I think I am going to set up my
camcorder and take some videos of the front panel
as the lights blink, the LA120 Decwriter III
console during the RSTS/E V7 startup process,
the ASR-33 teletype as it clanks away running
SYSTAT, the VT05 terminal during a video display,
as well as the LA36, VT52, RL02, RK05, etc.
I will hopefully find time to put these videos
on my web site
http://www.woffordwitch.com later
today.
I will show how to load an RL02 pack, an RK05 pack,
etc. Is there anything in particular anyone is
interested in while I am making videos?
Hopefully someone will find these little video clips
interesting or useful. I know that there have been
times in the past where somebody would acquire an
RL02 drive or RK05 drive and wish that someone could
show them how to load a disk pack properly.
Let me know if there is anything else that might be
of interest while I have a few minutes and am not
being summoned by "she who must be obeyed". :-)
