Re: RF08 light panel
I will be watching. I have almost an entire RS08/RF08, sans maybe the drive base plate and heads, including the light panel. Sent from my iPad > On Jul 7, 2019, at 15:53, Al Kossow via cctalk wrote: > > bet this won't go cheap > > https://www.ebay.com/itm/372706567865 >

$113.50 seems pretty cheap to me, that's like four cocktails in Manhattan.

> From: Ethan Dicks > Did anyone here get it? Yeah, me - although I didn't expect to! Because of my work on DEC indicator panels (this one's a 10-1/2" panel, unusual): http://ana-3.lcs.mit.edu/~jnc/tech/DECIndicatorPanels.html I put in what seemed to me a lowish bid, expecting not to get it (I figured I'd make do with the image from the sale), and was rather surprised that I got it. I don't have an RF08, of course, so if anyone actually has an RF08, I'll happily do a deal to get it to you. > I did not bid because I have zero parts of an RF08 (and if I ever > make a modern RF08 emulator, I might as well make one of these to > match). Yeah, for the QSIC indicator panels, we built totally new ones, too. We took advantage of that to change the interface; the DEC originals have a wire per light, which is kind of klunky. Ours time-multiplexes a single data line (there are 'clock' and 'latch' lines too); visually, it seems to look identical to the DEC originals in operation. Noel
