Not sure how separate classicmp pdp8 readers are from alt.sys.pdp8/pdp8-lovers
readers so trying here also. Nothing new if you saw it previously.
Does anyone have 4k BASIC or Spacewar? Poly BASIC, DECUS 8-195 seems to be 4k.
I think Edusystem 10/15 BASIC also ran in 4k.
I think there also was a 4k Poly Spacewar. I have this one which is 4k but
it doesn't have gravity etc.

My desktop straight 8 is missing the wood side panels so I want to make
some. I took pictures and measurements of MARCH's but I can't remember if
they were real wood veneer or imitation laminate.
Does anybody know more or can look closely at their's? Online seems to
think it was rosewood but doesn't say if it was real wood. One reply on
pdp8-lovers said the desktop panels were imitation and another said the
rackmount were real.
Did current stright 8 owners do margin checks and if so what margins are
reasonable to shoot for? The manual doesn't seem to clearly say.
The last is the DF32 with the straight 8 has modified W103 device selectors.
It seems that they were modified from pulse amp outputs to DC coupled
level outputs. Has anyone seen this done before?

I'm still working on getting the drive running so haven't seen if they work
ok.
