Does anyone have a PDP-16 (sort of a prototyping machine using register
transfer modules) that they'd be willing to part with?
I thought I'd made arrangements to snag one from "JohnB", but he appears to
have disappeared from the face of the earth. This machine looks intriguing
and I'd really like to find one.

Yes, it is an interesting "programmable solid state controller"; I hesitate
to call it a computer :). When I worked for Nabisco at the Richmond, VA
plant, we had about 25 or so of them to control the mixing of ingredients.
With the maintenance module and the flow chart that came with the
schematics, it was pretty trivial to troubleshoot these things to the
component level.
