This is a somewhat odd question for me as I don't normally care about
such things,
but I might as well try to get it right...
Anyway, I have one of those plastic banner panels for the top front of
the rack. It's
missing the insert (just the black plastic part), but I would guess
(based on what I
know of the history of the rack) it would have been the magenta one for PDP11s.
Was there a yellow/brown one for PDP8 systems?
Yes, I have one sitting on my PDP-8/e system. Just like the PDP-11
panels, they?re ?printed? on an aluminum sheet that?s glued into the
plastic header panel. I haven?t found it easy to remove them from
the plastic header panel without bending the aluminum so it?ll probably
be difficult to get a reasonable scan but others may have better luck
at removing them than I have had.
If so, is a scan available anywhere?
Is there any way I can get it printed (and onto what) in the UK? I don't have a
large enough printer to do this.
I would imagine that the best way to do this would be to have the
image silk screened onto the appropriate material and then insert
that into the header panel.
