Because I want to make sure I use a cable of the proper rating. Just because a cable is thick doesn't mean the wirees are thick. If I get the proper cable I'll have one of the proper rating. Right now I'm using a standard cable I've carved with a notch, but without striping away the insulation I won't know the thickness of the wires. -- Eric Dittman dittman(a)dittman.net

Hi, The plus are perfectly common - you can pick them up from most electronics stores ehre in the UK. You can also get cables from household applience companies, as they're used as the connectors for kettle's here - hence the UK slang "Kettle plug" -- Matt --- E-mail: matt(a)pkl.net, matt(a)knm.yi.org, matt(a)printf.net matt(a)m-techdiagnostics.ltd.uk, matthew.london(a)stud.umist.ac.uk mattl(a)vcd.student.utwente.nl, mlondon(a)mail.talk-101.com Web Page: http://knm.yi.org/ http://pkl.net/~matt/ PGP Key fingerprint = 00BF 19FE D5F5 8EAD 2FD5 D102 260E 8BA7 EEE4 8D7F PGP Key http://knm.yi.org/matt-pgp.html

I'll pay cash and pay for transportation if you have one that's taking up space. Please email me with location and price. I'm specifically looking for the following models: PDP-8's: F, I, L, S PDP-9's: (any) PDP-10's: (any) PDP-11's: /15, /20, /35, /40, /45, /50, /55, /70 PDP-12 PDP-15 You can tell which ones these are because they'll have a front panel with lights and switches -- lots of lights and lots of switches :-) I'm also interested in parts, peripherals (like tape drives), software, documentation, DEC books, etc... I'm also in need of DECtapes/LINCTapes (the "cute" 4-inch TU-55 reels); TK-50 tapes, and could use a microVAX II with VMS for reference purposes. If you have something that you'd like to trade for instead of cash, please see my webpages at: http://www.parse.com/~pdp8/spares.html (spare modules) http://www.parse.com/~pdp8/books.html (inventory of PDP-books) Thanks in advance!
