Yes it does look like it would be a bit of a drive for you right now. I'm really looking to see if I can get someone to pick it up and take it whole. Don't want to have to part it out, put it on ebay or take it to the scrapper if I can help it. I'm sure I'll find someone. I have one person who just wants the front panel. Looking to see if I can keep it together first. Ethan Dicks <dickset(a)amanda.spole.gov> wrote:If I were home, I'd give serious consideration to a road trip (from Ohio). That's one of the models I've always thought was kinda cool, due to the writable control store. I heard a story once that one of the DEC engineers wrote PDP-8-instruction-set microcode for it as an exercise. Internal lore held that it was the fastest PDP-8 ever made (dunno if it ran more than FOCAL and paper-tape programs, though - interfacing devices would be a bit of a hassle, I'd expect). -ethan -- Ethan Dicks, A-130-S Current South Pole Weather at 01-Jun-2004 03:50 Z South Pole Station PSC 468 Box 400 Temp -82.3 F (-63.5 C) Windchill -120.2 F (-84.59 C) APO AP 96598 Wind 9.9 kts Grid 102 Barometer 664.2 mb (11229. ft) Ethan.Dicks(a)amanda.spole.gov http://penguincentral.com/penguincentral.html ----- "When the mind is free of any thought or judgement, then and only then can we know things as they are."
