You can run a LED front panel in an 8/E, Tim Shoppa
and I tried this
about January. There are two connector lugs on the left hand side of both
types of front panels. The 8/e uses both lugs, an 8/f or other LED-style
panel only the blue. The blue lead is -15V, the yellow is 8V. The lugs on
the front panel are labelled "YELLOW" and "BLUE", just connect the
proper
wires. Leave the yellow wire unconnected to use the LED front panel in
your 8/e. This works, we tried it.
This is very weird because the 8/e LAMP based front panel on one of my
machines does _not_ have the yellow connector connected! So its set up
just like an 8/M front panel. Very weird.
I'm sure that they did, but I've never seen
one. I'm currently waiting on
connectors so that I can make one. Heck, I could make two if you need one.
If you can make two that would be superb. Let me know what you need in
terms of financial support. The point for the connectors is an excellent
find as well! Thanks.
