BTW. Just last night before I went to bed, I booted for the first time my PiDP-11/70. I have one of the first alpha units since I’ve been coaching Oscar with the project a small amount. I left it running a some tests last night and am off to USENIX ATC today, so I have not even tried to boot Unix on it yet. One of the cool things about this project, I was able to arrange for the designer of the original 11/70 front panel to be consulted (Jim Bleck) on the molds to Oscar who was able to have the molds and the switches made in Europe. Anyway, the PiDP-8 is cool and looks the same as the original 8/I, but the panel is framed/finished in wood. For the 11, the panel is the real thing - DEC white (hopefully will not fade using modern plastics). FYI Oscar is considering doing the -10 next but given the amount of work from the 8 and the 11 it’s more than a hobby. -- Sent from a handheld expect more typos than usual -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
