Re: PDP-11/34 FP11-A on eBait
I guess what it would be worth to someone. If I had an 11/34 an FPP module would be really helpful as Fortran apps don't run too well without it. That said the 64 bit dedicated processor with 16 2901's always struck me as a bit excessive for an 11/34. (Then again I have a FPF11, but at least the 11/23/24 supports 22 bit addressing) On 1/13/2022 12:10 PM, Noel Chiappa via cctalk wrote: Speaking of FP11-A's: https://www.ebay.com/itm/275096265379 I wouldn't mind having one, but not for that much!

Re: Retro Chip Tester Pro, US shopping basket?
Hi Bill, I have a Digikey shopping cart for most of the items and another for Mouser for the rest of the items but mine was Rev "i". I did this back in August and I looked at the cart and noticed that some of the items may have substitutes now. I know I had to do a few substitutes when I followed the BOM even back then. I'll post them here but please be careful and check the BOM from the RTC (Retro Chip Tester) Google site you were emailed against these carts.Again, you may have to make some substitutes and some of the other components may not line up exactly but that's the nature of these pre-created carts, unfortunately. It will at least give you a good start: Note, I ordered from a Digikey.ca site but I created an identical US cart for a friend in the US that was building one as well. Again, triple check everything. Digikey US cart: https://www.digikey.com/short/d9vrt54z Mouse CA cart for 4 items not at Digikey (but they may be there now?): https://www.mouser.ca/ProjectManager/ProjectDetail.aspx?AccessID=9e707cf7c4 BTW, good choice on a Christmas present. You will wonder how you did without it.

Retro Chip Tester Pro, US shopping basket?
In response to my wife's "Buy yourself a Christmas present" direction, I've ordered a Retro Chip Tested Pro board. When you purchase the board, you get a BOM and links to stored shopping baskets for some European vendors. Has anyone built this in the US and stored their basket with a US vendor? Rev 1.2k by the way, but any basket would be helpful as the BOM differences between the versions are listed. Thanks, Bill S. -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

A good tool is an investment, a cheap tool is often a waste of money (there are always exceptions). Zane
