Suika Roberts) Date: Sat, 1 Jul 2000 20:24:57 -0600 Subject: [pups] Pre-startup questions Message-ID: <20000701202457.A23817@miyuki.genom.co.jp> I just (yesterday) aquired a microPDP 11/73 -- it had been used by my school to operate some sort of geological test equipment that is no longer present, and was working when it went out of service, who knows how long ago. She has a pair of RX02s, an RD52a inside her case, and that's all I've determined so far, since I haven't opened her up, really, yet. I'm interested in documentation on monitor commands, what the boot sequence should look like, and other such software stuff right now. I'm also wondering about useful things like: `Is the part number in a standard location on each card', `What is the form factor difference between Q-bus and Unibus', `Will starting her up trip the breaker', and `How much space is there in that little rackmount' In the near future, I'd like to find ethernet and SCSI adaptors for her, and so am wondering where parts might be aquired. Thanks, Suika (very happy) -- ssfr at unm.edu The computer is not mightier than a cup of coffee, or other liquid, or a young school age child with a tool box... --L. E. Waltz Suika no homepage
