DEC GT40. That's a PDP11/05 (with real core memory)
and a VT11 vector
display board set in a desktop case with a monitor on top and a separate
keyboard). 3 user input devices -- the keyboard, a light pen and the
lights-n-switches panel.
I wish I had one... I'm trying to get the hardware I need to at
least put a VT11 on an 11/05 or 11/34a so I can get spacewar
running... As I mentioned in a prior post, I found the DR11C
which has the original spacewar control boxes we used at WPI
back in the later 70s. I also found the source for the spacewar
we played -- written by a friend of mine who was also a student
at WPI...

While I have a number of versions of the source for SST (Super
Star Trek) which was first written around the same time, I don't
think I have the FORTRAN IV source for the SST.SAV and
SST.DOC files (well obviously I do have the source for the
DOC file since that is the source) that were also released
around 1979 as well. Those two files are at dbit under games
for RT-11 unless you want me to e-mail them.
Might you know where the FORTRAN IV source for that
version might be found. Also, I suspect that the 1979 version
of SST must have been compiled using V3.0x of RT-11.
Your message was in response to my message about Spacewar on
a GT40... I wasn't talking about Star Trek or Super Star Trek.
They are entirely different games...
I've not seen SST for quite a while... I might have a copy
somewhere in my disk archives, but they are not currently
accessible (being in storage)... I'm pretty sure there is
a copy *somewhere* on the net...
