It's rather comical.. poor thing.. The 8/s wasn't exactly a super computer but it is having a little difficulty printing a line of 32 characters (5X7 bits). I can read the text but by the time it finishes drawing the end of the line, the first few characters start disappearing. I will try and post some pictures over the next couple of days. It is pretty cool to see this unit draw on an oscilloscope. I will try some video games (some were written for the 8/s) and post some pictures of that as well. john PDP-8 and other rare mini computers http://www.pdp8.com -----Original Message----- From: Mike Ford <mikeford(a)socal.rr.com> To: Discussion re-collecting of classic computers <classiccmp(a)u.washington.edu> Date: Monday, December 06, 1999 4:09 AM Subject: Re: Tube experts! - I T WORKS! just tubes
