Yep, this is the Imlac I got from Tom after seeing his
PDS-1D at VCF.
I traded an old PDP 11 and some spare boards for the PDS-1(a?),
documentation and spare parts.
Don't tell Tom, but I definitely think you got the better end of the deal
;)
Now I've got to get a way to load the 4K terminal
program into memory
quickly and reliably (my Imlac has had the core memory replaced with
SRAM), and interface it to one of my HP minis!
The PDS-1D I got came with the software and documentation for
boot-strapping it off the serial port. Maybe you can do it that way? If
I can find where I stored this stuff I can lend it to you if it would be
helpful.
