Nice.
Does anybody have documentation on the BM08
(preferably the 8K additional
core model) or the LINC tape drive? I looked in the normal spots and didn't
find any. The closest was the MC8/L 4K memory option on bitsavers.
I would also be interested in documentation - I have had a BM08 for a
long time. It works, thankfully, but I've never had docs for it.
It's part of one of my long-term projects to get OS/8 running on a
pre-OMNIBUS machine. I've not yet been able to put together a machine
with enough core and a mass storage device, even an emulated Posibus
or Negibus storage device (this BM/08 is the only memory expansion I
have).
