PDP-8/S

[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

Michael  - Many  thanks  for the great  start!
 
Lyle ok added  yours.. neat you have it  working! 
what is the status of  his other unit that was  sold?
 
 
ok here starts   the registry !
 
Have started on  for classic  8  and   one   for  8S
 
It  would be  good  to  have some assistance in  figuring out  want
fields we want    for  data.
 
Do we want the list   to be ordered by S/N  or  owner?  ( I  vote for S/N)
 
Of  course if  we  also have things an excel  work sheet  we  can sort in 
any way we  wish.
 
http://www.smecc.org/pdp-8.htm   is  page of what we have so  far.
