What options would I have for some kind of display
scope for my PDP-8/e?
I have a VC8/I-like point plot controller that I built last spring and I
want a display for it.
The manuals I have list the Tek 602 (shows up on ebay cheap), Tek RM503
along with the DEC VR14.
The 602 is a smallish scope size screen XYZ monitor. The 602 needs some
components changed to use it (resistors and capacitors). If you need
the info email me. Tek made a bunch of different models which others
will probably work but don't know which specific ones. Don't know
what the persistance of the 602 is.
I also found a reference to using a storage monitor so picked up a
Tek 611 (613 similar). It is a bigger screen. Haven't actually tried
it yet though. It can be used storage or non storage. Storage tubes
tended to not be very durable.
