I'm planning on starting my PDP-9 replica build (see http://pdp9.co.uk for
some pics) this year and the starting point of this will be to build a
suitable 'wide' rack for the console to be fitted to. Does anyone in the UK
have a spare DEC H960 or a similar 42U rack I could acquire?
Thanks,
Toby

I have no help with a
rack, but this link may inspire some more hardware:

I have in the back of my mind a hardware implementation of the -9, possibly
using TTL flip chips as I have lots of them plus a suitable load of
backplanes, but for now its going to be SIMH talking to a PIC
microcontroller driving the console and a paper tape drive. I figure keeping
it simple to begin with should give the best chance of success.
The real challenge will be to getting my TU55s talking to SIMH. This will be
anything but simple.
Thanks,
Toby
