Howbout a 6120 homebrew running OS8? The trick was real DEC
style IO rather than PIEs and cruft that leads up to os78 and os278.
I don't have a 6120. The heart of my homebrew pdp8/e is a 6809!

PDP-11/03, a real one for a change :-) decoding HAM radio RTTY
I've used the -11 for RTTY display. You only need a modem to
decode the tones though having spilt screen, upper for
incomming and lower for outgoing text.
That is exactly what I intend to write. Not too difficult, I will
document this project on my website. I am combining the actual
*use* of a PDP-11 for something, learn to write PDP-11 assembler,
and program ESC sequences for a VT220. Not just simple "hello",
but a project with a goal.
I'd like to see PSK31 software for the -11.
I have not looked into the details of all new digital transmission
modes that HAMs use (for example with MixW), but without any
knowledge, I wonder if a PDP-11 would be fast enough ...
any idea about that, Allison ?
