You can see the full link in the bottom part of IE (sorry...) when the mouse is
over the link. Just type the URL, but to get the direct URL you still have to
open the folder. I use JavaScript for that navigation section ... The URL is
http://www.pdp-11.nl/homebrew/startframe.html and then the link (top section)
"hardware prototype" takes you to the Blinkenboard set. There you can see the
Core and I/O board and download the PDF documentation of everything.
The other links are the "history" of the project and a pdp8/e "spin
off".
In all activities I got *much* help from Vince!
BTW, I have a (not publicly known) movie of SIMH and the "Blinklight" console
wired to a real PDP-11/70 console booting RT-11 and doing a ".DIR" from the
"RL02 pack" .dsk container file. No, I did not dismantle my 11/70 for the
console!
I got that one from eBay :-) Warning! It is 7.4 Mb .MOV file ... but looks nice.

(You can download VLC freely to play .MOV files)

OK, not to toot my own horn or anything, but Henk and
I already did one of
these. (The only thing we haven't done is to physically put the front panel
and the PC in the same box.)
You can go to http://www.pdp-11.nl/ and click "my projects" in the left
panel to get an overview of some of the uses of the thing. (You have
to click the little yellow folder to be allowed to drill down into the
individual projects.)
Henk, is there a better URL that specifically describes the Blinkenlight
project?
(I did some grunt work, but the idea was his.)
