Original 11/74 front panel

Hmm, I was wondering ... (as if I don't have enough projects at hand), the 11/70MP or 11/74 are of course real unobtainium gold-pressed latinum (perhaps even literally!). So, I think it makes sense to get SIMH running on a PC/104 board (trivial), add the Blinkenlight Core and I/O Board and build an 11/74 console. You could make a replica of the console, or perhaps re-use an 11/70 console panel and make a new plastic front. If the key switch or the rotary knobs are in the wrong position, you could re-arrange that. What matters are the switches and the LEDs for a "real" replica. Of course, I am *not* saying that you should rip a console of a real 11/70 ! We know a source, just be prepared to put down some money ... I bought a real 11/70 console, and started on the metal workz to build a nice (smallish) box behind the panel. Guess what's going inside that :-) But this gets close to the new thread "mounting new hardware in vintage hardware". - Henk, PA8PDP. ________________________________ Van: cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org namens Tim Shoppa Verzonden: wo 08-02-2006 19:24 Aan: cctalk at classiccmp.org Onderwerp: Re: Original 11/74 front panel Don North wrote Two more can be seen at http://www.trailing-edge.com/~shoppa/1174Xopen.jpg <http://www.trailing-edge.com/~shoppa/1174Xopen.jpg> So that makes three :-).
