360/50 is a 32-bit machine, the real thing has a core memory

Yes, from hand-corrected OCR scans.
To be precise, the ALDs and microcode I'm using are not for a plain 2065,
but for a 7201-02, the variant that was used in the 9020 complex. I'm

360 CPU ALDs are extremely difficult to find.
If the 65 set could be scanned, I'd be happy to upload them to bitsavers.

Hi Al,
I have a 7201-2 set that I scanned. They're ~64 MB TIF files per sheet,
about ~150GB in total. I can upload those where ever you want.

I'll have to wait until Jay increases the amount of disk space available to
bitsavers.
That should be "very soon", as that was part of the reason for the server
maintenance last week to lay some groundwork. Stay tuned

I haven't looked yet, but are the 360/50 ALDs available anywhere?

Thanks for the detailed answer. I see the front panels look remarkably similar
though. Short of redoing a 360/50 on an FPGA (I'd need to retire to have enough
time for this one!), could I use the /50 panel with the /65 emulator?

I have 3 stands, but I only need 1 for my VT-50. I am taking offers on the
other 2 :-)
I believe these stands to be authentic DEC VT5X stands. Is there any way
of telling for sure? There are no markings on the stands.
Here is a picture of the stand:

I've been trying to find vendors who sell the parts to build stands
like that. Ideally I'd like the column height to be adjustable, but I
obviously can't come up with the right words for a search because I
can't find them even in fixed height.
I'd like to build one specifically for a DEC GT40 term

I would love one, but I am afraid of the shipping costs to Ohio. I've
had small packages shipped from Toronto and it seems to run over
$10/lb.
