Hi everybody,
I used to own a SBC6128 which I built from Spare Time Gizmo's.
It was a PDP8 on a chip, using a Harris 6128 PDP8 on a chip. It featured a
serial port and an IDE disk interface. It was a heap of fun to use and
recreated quite faithfully, my PDP8 that I had access to as a kid circa
1985...
Sadly, I had to move a few years ago, and search as I can, I can't find
it. I also can't find my HP41 HPIL cassette drive, printer and
accessories but that's another story.
Does anybody have a bare PCB or a built one that they don't use any more?
I know I'm in Australia, but I don't mind paying postage. Happy to pay
whatever you need..
I have both. So I have a community board and I think most of the chips
you need to build one.
I also have a built board, with an IOB6120 which emulates a VT terminal
and has VGA output. Its in a very scruffy enclosure but it worked a few
months ago , booting from CF card.
Sadly the IDE disk seems to have died.
However I am in the UK so posting either to Australia might be
expensive. I think the board and chips might be be possible.....
both are available, but I feel the built unit is worth £250. The board
and chips perhaps £100 depending on which chips I can find.
Kindest regards,
Doug Jackson
