Hello everybody,
a few days ago I introduced my USB to Omnibus adapter module. I'd like give you
an update.
As you might have seen on pdp8.hachti.de?gallery/omnibus_usb the board I made
first was only half height and used three CoolRunner II CPLDs.
I made a slight redesign of the board:
- Full size Omnibus board. One could even mount DEC handles if he wanted to.
- CPLD is now one big XC9572XL-TQ100.
- Added working DIP switches, TX and RX device code are freely selectable.
The board still uses the 7438 as bus drivers. And YES - I still use the "wrong"
drivers. As Plessey did on their RK05 controller... And that controller is said
to be more reliable than the original RK8E. So 7438 cannot be the worst choice.
So please no more discussion about that.
I'm very sorry that I just don't have a really loaded PDP8/e at hand to test the
board. But I tried my best and loaded the test system with some hardware which
was just at hand:
- Front panel
- Two backplanes in system
- CPU + EAE
- M837 memory extension and time share
- KL8J terminal at 03/04 and 9600 baud
- 24K core memory (3x8)
- RK8E
- TD8E
- MI8-EA bootstrap diode board
- Bus loads
- OMNI-USB :-)
That makes 24 boards in the system. Without the core memory boards which don't
use anything than ground it's still 21. There are 13 slots left.
The sytem is running OS/8 while I'm writing this. It just works.
Booting works, transferring data over USB works, TD8E worked (until the TU56's
PSU broke down a few minutes ago :-), RK8E works, terminal works. Looks good.
Oh, kermit runs so fast...!
I have decided to make a 25 piece batch of the new board. A prototype without
gold fingers (it will have gold fingers in the end) can also be seen in my new
webshop: http://shop.hachti.de
Price is EUR 105 without any tax and any shipping. Shop initially displays EUR
125 incl. German VAT.
Shipping of the boards will be in the beginning of April. April 2nd seems to be
a bit too optimistic due to PCB manufacturing time. But I'm quite condident that
it will be in the first week of April.
You can already order/pay now. I very much appreciate that because it helps me
to pay the boards and parts. The other effect is that I'd get a real resonance.
Currently a handful of people told me that they want 15 boards. Some of them
already ordered (big THANK YOU!), some are very quiet.
Kind regards
Philipp

I guess I was expecting the USB connector to be on the top of the
board instead of the side. Is this the normal side for I/O connectors
on a PDP8 board?

I think it's normal for the PDP-8/e/f/m (for quad OMNIBUS cards in
general). Hex cards (PDP-8/a) have them typically facing the fingers
(there's a way to get cables out past the E/F fingers) or the handles
(for the programmer's front panel).

New subject: Omnibus to USB - please preorder NOW, thank you!
Good evening!
Status:
I now have a perfectly working professionally made PCB sitting in my current
working 8/e. The PCB has gold plated fingers and holes for mounting handles.
The 8/e currently contains:
* CPU with EAE
* RK8E
* 3x8K core
* XY8E plotter control
* KL8E (for console)
* Omni-USB (for data transfer)
* sometimes TD8E
* diode bootstrap card
So it's not a really "heavily loaded" machine. But a normally loaded system,
far
away from being a naked CPU only.
I have not seen any problems or instabilities caused by the USB board.
Now back to the reason for this mail: The whole thing is far away from being
anything else than a commercial disaster. On my first post some people expressed
their interest to own one or more boards. That summed up to 15 boards.
Currently I have orders (and some money as well) for seven boards.
I have no idea if there is any further interest. And I want to order the final
PCBs T-O-M-O-R-R-O-W - for US people this means today late evening with respect
to time zone differences.
I planned to order and build 25 boards. But that will cost A LOT of money.
Currently I'm not sure anymore. I will wait for your orders until tomorrow. And
then I will order the boards that are spoken for. That saves me from spending
even more money that I currently don't have.
So if you want a board: Order NOW!!!!
http://shop.hachti.de/en/vintage-computing/1-omni-usb-100.html
If you just want to place an order and do not want to pay immediately via
PayPal, you can chose "bank wire" and pay when the boards become ready for
shipping.
And not to forget: Many thanks to the handful of people who trusted me enough to
order some boards even before the final design was completed.
Kind regards
Philipp

Hello everybody,
sorry for bugging you again.... ok, not really sorry...
the first batch of Omnibus to USB pseudo serial boards has been sent out this
week. A big thank you for the ones of you who trusted me and sent me some cash
two months ago :-)
There are still some
boards left. And I *have* to sell some more: Currently the
whole thing has not yet covered even the hardware costs.
So please think about it. You still can become owner of the fastest available
and easy to use PDP8 to PC connector that doesn't need any special software on
either side of the magic!
Remember: I designed that thing for my own use. And be assured: I don't want to
go without it again!
Current price is EUR 105 without VAT. For people in the EU it's EUR 125
including VAT. Worldwide shipping is approx EUR 15.
Kind regards
Philipp
P.S.: What should I design next?

They usually

Oh, I can provide TU56s and RK05 drives
from a heap! And I am *willing* to do
so. It's not my heap and I forward the money. Therefore it won't be too cheap.
Shipping is a problem to be solved.

Really a question of perspective.
There is one important point:
Here (Germany) rules a spirit of keeping and hoarding stuff. And the public
sector's problems with cleaning out basements (which - I have to admit - has
sadly improved over the last years).
On the other hand old computers are not widely appreciated in my society. In
fact most "normal" people I know insist to call my treasures scrap and me an
idiot keeping that scrap. It's sometimes hard.
I have seen things you'd never believe. In several dimensions. Really vast
amounts of stuff (thousands of sqare metres packed!!!). And also acts of
unspeakable destruction. I saw drum memories, RP drives, big tape drives from
the sixties, and many other cool stuff being dismantled and binned by metal
type. Without being able to save very much.
We don't have a big CHM in Germany. We have only showroom style dead collections
like the Nixdorf Forum or the new computer museum in Kiel.
The collection of Klemens Krause and Christian Corti is a real exception.
And the few people who really care about big iron is laughed at.
So my perspective is quite different from yours. It's not a question of
different opinions, it's really a question of perspective.
The old computers can't be found in every basement - even in my country. But if
you keep your eyes open, it comes to you. And when you just think that the time
when you found nice hardware for free has ended - something new drops in from
somewhere.
I'm not sarcastic or anything alike. When I say heap - I mean heap:
http://pdp8.hachti.de/gallery/misc/img_1103_full.jpg
The perspective comes from walking over the racks. You could not descent to the
ground because the room is too packed.
Facit: Do not tell me about RK05 and TU56 being really rare :-)

Well then it could very well be that they ARE all over the place in
Germany. I'd believe that, because many (most?) of the most impressive
DEC collections I'm aware of are in fact in Germany.
That stuff is just plain not common here. PDP-11/23s, yes, they're
everywhere...but early Unibus 11s (say, anything pre-11/44) cause QUITE
a stir when they hit eBay or Craigslist here. I was gearing up to go
pick up the half-gutted 11/45 halfway across the continent when the
auction ended at something like $1500 last summer.
And TU56s...I can think of TWO that have hit eBay in the past decade.
Two. And NEVER a DF32.
On the other hand old computers are not widely
appreciated in my
society. In fact most "normal" people I know insist to call my treasures
scrap and me an idiot keeping that scrap. It's sometimes hard.
I don't associate with those people. ;) Someone who would say that

Well, they are...HERE. And from this perspective is the only one
from which I can accurately speak, as an experienced

I do not believe that. But if there are people willing

A few TU56s have hit $1000+, but most seem to trade at $500-800 (on
and off Ebay).

And I am *willing* to

You probably should try to get the TU56s into the hands of collectors,
as they are pretty rare devices even in DECland (the US Northeast) -
some US collectors would probably pay the excessive shipping to get
them to this country. RK05s are not nearly as rare, so may not be
worth shipping overseas.

The piles of free stuff (or at least blinkenlights era machines) are
certainly coming to an end, especially with scrap prices so high, but
there still is an amazingly large amount still turning up. Patience
and legwork often can be very rewarding - just be prepared to pay
fairly.

There is simply more demand in the US : prices are therefore higher in the US.
Might have to do with the countries size. (Rich) Switzerland prices for this stuff is
generally lower than Germany's.

The Spare Time Gizmos SBC6120 board has an IDE disk drive. They've also

It is not compatible with the RK8E or any other DEC disk controller but
it is very simple. It's just a little logic and an Intel 8255 port chip.
I used a IDE disk-on-chip.

- It's not cycle accurate - the CPU implementation is not even similar to the
original.
- On Spartan-3 it runs approximately 120 times faster than the original.
- currently has no front panel support (except something strange that comes out
of the VGA port, hehe)
Doing a whole system is much work. Weeks of work. Probably even months.
But I would be able to do it. I could even silkscreen print my own front panel,
hehe :-)
Doing an FPGA 8 that implements TTY, PTP/PTR, and RK05 on chip would be less
work than creating something that interfaces to a real Omnibus.

are your resources up to doing a custom system board
with one of the
FPGA's to do your own 8? The STG 6120's seem to be tapped out and there
is a lot of demand for systems which run the 8. Could lead into a
version of the blink'n lights front panel.
+1 here, excellent idea.

A good reason not to have money....

Back on topic:
Seven boards left.
To push the whole thing I have a special offer valid from now until Thursday
23th, 23:59h CEST.
Buy the board for EUR 95 excl. VAT (applies to EU buyers only).
After that I have rised the price to EUR 150. It was just too much work for
barely covering the cost... So if you buy today, you can still have the board
for little money.
If someone has done a cool block device emulation software and you really *NEED*
the board - it could be too late!
Kind regards
Philipp :-)
