Cool, and thanks! My memory is so odd for these sorts of things. (I've thought
of cool things
to do CAD drawings for, only to find them already finished years prior, and I'd
forgotten doing
them.) Your posting reminds me that I was waiting for the BM8L drawings at one
point, so I
have no doubt you are correct. Perhaps I had munged it in my memory with the
BM812i
drawings.
I did hear of the existence of at least one
other. Basically, I had
speculated that
I had the only one, and someone said "No you don't.". I forget who said
that,
though.
Not that it is important, but I also have a BM8L .
I send you paper copies of the documentation, but that was already some years
before. ( ~2004) I could use a pic of the innards, for when I actually
get around to doing
something with it !
I'll probably have to pull it out when I move that rack. I'll try to remember
to snap a photo
then, if I don't get to it before.
Further rare PDP8 items in my home : a fully maxed up
8A. (128K memory, RL01
drive, and FPP-8A )
Nice. I have the memory for mine, but I don't think I have an FPP-8A (unless it
is like those
CAD drawings).
Furthermore some omnibus boards for hardware
acceleration of an OCR
application.
I wonder about the Omnibus boards used in CNC, medical, other applications. As
far as
I can tell there's no-one collecting and documenting those.
