of the Massbus Disk Emulator this week
Cool!
Once we have more than the breadboard prototype
running (on the 2065 that
Ian mentioned up-thread), we'll hook one to a KS-10, as well as to our
PDP-11/70 and PDP-11/45, and see what we can shake loose.
Do you have an RH-750 and 11/750 to test against? (My first 11/750
ran for years with an RH750 and TU78 next to an SI-9900 w/CMI
interface for disk - when my employer closed, I was able to rescue the
CPU, but the tape drive was too large and needed 220VAC so was not
rescued).
I'm sure in the grand scheme of MASSBUS-using systems, the 11/750 is a
thin sliver of a minority, but they were out there. Hopefully any
proper MASSBUS emulator should work without any strangeness.
