HP Progress

I spent last evening with a friend hacking on my HP-2112A. We got it up and running! Still no work on the peripherals. It does have a sticky bit that I've not yet tracked down, but I presume that's another bad connection someplace. At any rate, I got a simple delayed binary counter running that dumps to the S register. I powered up the 2108 as well running a chaser routine: http://rikers.org/hp2100/hp2108a2112a.avi Assembly sources are in that same directory if you are curious. http://rikers.org/hp2100/ One step closer to running ACCESS on real hardware. =) It looks like SIMH has IPL issues under Linux and probably other OSes. I can get ACCESS running in windows but not under Linux. I'll spend some time debugging that soon. I don't have the hardware for the IPL so I'll need that someday. I understand that I need 4 12566 cards and some custom cables. I bought a few cable ends from larry of ebay and I have these two cards: GND TRUE IN/OUT - 12566-8001, 12666-6001 907 22 +TRUE IN/OUT - 12566-8001, 12566-6002 907 22 But I only have 2. If anyone has others that they might want to trade boards for I might be interested. ;-) At some point I'll likely need the IOP firmware but I know Jay has it so I'm sure we can work something out there. Also need the breakout panel for my MUX set at somepoint. At least I need the edge connectors. They are the same size as the normal edge connector, but use a higher pin density. Leads welcome!
