Have VAX 82x0/83x0 console floppies been archived?

I also picked up a VAX 8350 today (it was a productive afternoon). It came with a box of maybe 40 RX50 floppies for console and various diagnostics. A cursory Internet search didn't reveal whether these have been archived already. If they haven't already been archived somewhere, I'll take

Any info on MTI 240 drive emulator?

Hi all -- I just picked up an interesting device, it appears to be a drive emulator that adapts DEC SDI to either ESDI or MFM drives (I would guess ESDI, but no real way to be sure.) It's manufactured by "Micro Technology" and is labeled as an "MDI 240" on the front. (On the rear as

Hi, After meeting up with Kyle Owen at VCF-East today, and booting OS8 via OS/8 Disk Server on his system, I have renewed interest in getting my pdp-8/e more functional. Does anyone have an extra M8650 (KL8E) or M8655 (KL8JA) asynchronous interface card they would be interested in selling or

KY11-LB drawing error

So, now that I have the 85S68 datasheet in hand, it turns out there's an error in the KY11-LB drawings. (I just couldn't understand how the circuit could possibly work, until I discovered that!) On the two RAM chips (E11 and E27, used to hold the bus address, keypad data, etc) the "Output Store"
