Re: Help ID'ing a PDP-8/A Omnibus board

2019-08-09 Thread Paul Anderson via cctalk
I have a bunch of Sunstrand and other NC/CNC boards here, but I thing they were labeled as Sunstrand. I don't remember ever seeing that one, and not sure if I have any for an 8. Most of the ones I have are Unibus. Paul On Thu, Aug 8, 2019 at 11:24 AM systems_glitch via cctalk <

ADM-3A question

2019-08-09 Thread Charles via cctalk
I bought an ADM-3A on ebay. The monitor and the circuit board/keyboard are from two different terminals - confirmed by hand-engraved serial numbers on the halves that don't match. Not to mention the two different case colors (pale blue top, blue bottom)! But it does have the lower-case option

Raspberry Pi write cycles

2019-08-09 Thread Adam Thornton via cctalk
I did have a case where the Pi I was using as secondary DNS/DHCP and as the secondary backup server (using USB spinning disk) destroyed its SD card. But then it turned out not to be the load at all. No matter what I ran on that Pi, it would corrupt its SD cards in a matter of weeks (the symptom

It would be nice if I were not dyslexic! Correct PN is 501-5030. Set of 4 is X7051A. There are 52 sealed new sticks. $10 per stick of memory. Cindy -Original Message- From: cctalk [mailto:cctalk-boun...@classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of JP Hindin via cctalk Sent: Friday, August 09, 2019

Thanks for putting it up. First time I've logged onto old Unix in decades (should try getting my copy of V6 up on simh). Have a couple of RasberryPi's kicking around that just fired up once to play with. Only part that simulation doesn't let you do is to connect up all sorts of lab hardware
