I'm not quite willing to give away my secret source yet (they're a
commercial source), but I wanted to let folks know in case anyone is
desperately searching for the following....
My source has several omnibus modules available:
M868 simple dectape control $100.00 plus shipping
M8650 console interface $100.00 plus shipping
Let me know if interested...

These are not hard to find (especially at the $100/pop price) Keyways
usually stocks them (any web search will turn them up). The ones that are
tough to find are the core stacks (I'm in the market for one or more), EAE
sets (M8341/42) with matching M8330 timing board, and the graphics sets.

Do you mean the VC8-E point-plot display control (usually used with a
VR14 monitor), or the VT8-E raster display control, which has an RS-170
output for use with a "normal" monitor? I've got the former, but I'd
*really* like to get the latter.

The infamous TD8-E. Don't use this unless you can't get a "real"
DECtape control, which would be a TC01 or TC08. Of course, for use
on an Omnibus PDP-8 (8/e, 8/f, 8/m, 8/a), those also require the
positive I/O bus interface, data break interface, and possibly a
negative bus converter. So on second thought, if you have an
Omnibus 8, maybe the TD8-E isn't so bad.
M8650 console interface $100.00 plus shipping
Seems rather pricey to me. Now if I could get the M8655 for this price...
