The set of manuals regarding the PDP-14 on BitSavers
give a somewhat
good overview of the architecture. Looks like a really cool machine to
play with. Took 120VAC or 10-55VDC inputs, the outputs were similar.
Also based on the manual, looks like wire rope ROM and R/W core were
available for the machine at the same time. (Would kind of make sense.
Put in ROM some code that never changes about the machine, and put in
RAM a more mutable control program.)
Now, for some ClassicCmp blasphemy... who feels like making one in
Minecraft? :P (In both "discrete" redstone, and/or as a completely
standalone mod, with an associated PDP-8/e to program it.)
Cheers,
Christian

Good to hear. I'd feel bad if they go to a
scrapper. From a quick
message to the seller they run off a normal power cable.
I'd guess they're
120v systems. They confirmed they don't have any manuals or software. I
noticed the pic but didn't mention the appearance of the hard drive either.
Seller didn't actually reply to pickup question but I rarely find anyone
not
willing these days. Just some folks who feel the need to charge or make
up a little loss with a pickup fee but not accusing this seller. Itd cost
me a tank of gas + auction to get but again I'd only save it if there was a
large need. Someone else would enjoy it better. Though I do know a few
texas museums that might be interested.

I have a local friend (not on this list) who was thinking about it
when they first popped up, but I don't know if he's still considering it
or not. I will ask him.

best candidate other than not ever scrapping anything.

I was browsing on e-bay and found these TI-1500
systems. I have no
link to the seller. I never heard of these before.

After a lot of Google I found this:
http://www. home. unix- ag. org/ engel/ ti/ (which isn't working)
Bad characters in the url. Try this:
http://www.home.unix-ag.org/engel/ti/
68030/40-based machines with System-V-ish port from the mid 80's it
seems.
The software that's available for it is still
quite pricey:

I don't see a NetBSD port for it, either.
