I've been out in my shop this morning getting some VT52 DecScopes out of the back
corner to prep them for shipping. I decided to boot up the old Wofford Witch PDP-11/40,
since it has not been booted since November. While it's up and running, I think I am
going to set up my camcorder and take some videos of the front panel as the lights blink,
the LA120 Decwriter III console during the RSTS/E V7 startup process, the ASR-33 teletype
as it clanks away running SYSTAT, the VT05 terminal during a video display, as well as the
LA36, VT52, RL02, RK05, etc.
I will hopefully find time to put these videos on my web site
http://www.woffordwitch.com
later today.
I will show how to load an RL02 pack, an RK05 pack, etc. Is there anything in particular
anyone is interested in while I am making videos?
Hopefully someone will find these little video clips interesting or useful. I know that
there have been times in the past where somebody would acquire an RL02 drive or RK05 drive
and wish that someone could show them how to load a disk pack properly.
Let me know if there is anything else that might be of interest while I have a few minutes
and am not being summoned by "she who must be obeyed". :-)
