After being frustrated trying to view some of the pinouts posted on the
web with lynx (everyone using frames/tables/etc), I have created a
shell-user-friendly pinout directory on my web server. I've got ~75 of 200
(give or take) up so far, and I'll be working on it for the next couple of
weeks.

If you have the time and the giving spirit overcomes you, please share any
that you find missing. Especially those from scarce/rare/unusual machines
that might help someone who rescues one with no available documentation.
And for God's sake, please let me know if I screwed up on any of these,
before someone trusts my addled transcriptions and blows something up!
Related, but a little more selfish, could someone give me the pinout for
the HP-IB port?

I can probably do most PERQ connectors (including
board edge connectors
and internal cables, Omnibus/Unibus/Qbus (if nobody else is doing those),
Anything in the IBM Techrefs that I have (pc-jr, etc), TRS-80 Model 1, 3,
CoCo, 100, etc. But I guess other people can do most of those.
Great! Whatever anyone has the time to add will be fantastic. I'll get
burning on the stack that I have left and try to get them up in the next
couple of days so we don't cp ourselves too much.
Sure... Let me find it..
Thanks much...

Chuck,
Its a PDP11/23. It has the CPU, Power Supply and two RL02 (12"?) Disk
Drives
in one 4' tall rack. A separate dumb terminal such as a VT100 can be
connected to it.
Unlike the PDP-8 which had all those progamming toggle switches and a TTY
tape
input, the disk drives and a terminal are the only
input devices. It uses a
Fortran Operating System. If you have some real curiosity and a few
bucks, I
can look up all the various model numbers comprising
the system. We bought it
new in 1983 or so. Used it very seldom up until about 1987. Since then it
just
gets relocated. It does have some value in the used
scientific computer
marketplace but we don't have the time to find the right customer.We are
located in Florida. Where are you? There is probably 300 pounds of stuff
here.

P.S. I can be reached during the day at 800-327-2212.
