"The PDP-6 in question is coming back to the
History
Center by December 20 (this year) as part of a.donation by Compaq
which is clearing out a little-known warehouse TCM used for deep storage."
Do you happen to know if any documentation or software was stored there?
There was just a discussion on alt.sys.pdp10 that it appears that all of
DEC's PDP-10 software archives disappeared, and I'm hoping they MAY have
ended up there, maybe other software as well (people were unable to locate
18 bit software, for example).
I don't know about the History Center's software archives - I would
imagine they've got loads of tapes and packs, but no equipment nor
time to use them - but very shortly (as in the next week or two) there
will be a public archive available with TOPS-10 distribution tape images,
sources, build kits, etc. Total quantity of stuff (at the moment) is
in the few hundred megabyte range, and will likely grow a bit by
announcement time. Keep your ears peeled to alt.sys.pdp10 for details.
There will be about 200-300 Megabytes of PDP-10 (TOPS-10 and TOPS-20)
DECUS freeware, too.
