ISO: Keronix Omnibus 8K "E1" memory schematics / technical docs

Hey all -- Got a nice 8KW omnibus core memory board here, designated the "E1" from Keronix, that almost works except that bit 1 is off in the weeds somewhere. Not a lot of information out there on Keronix hardware, anyone have any docs? The board came with a sheet describing the addressing

I wouldn't get your hopes up. Finding a PDP-8 of any description is going to be fairly difficult in this day and age, even a PDP-8/A. I'd assume that the majority of those that were made were either scrapped, or are now in private hands, where the owners would be unwilling to part with

Re: evil thing to ask but I need keystroke logger

Have you considered asking them what they are doing? You would be surprised how much logging various software packages do. There are always chat logs (unless deleted) - always usage logs - unless deleted. Work with them as a first instance, failing that have them do the work physically beside

Re: evil thing to ask but I need keystroke logger

If it's a windoze system, modified a bare-bones keylogger about 10 years ago which records all keystrokes (can get time of key_press, key_release) and also monitors all mouse clicks as well as title of window clicked on. Can also record every mouse event which takes up a LOT of disk space.
