Electrically the lines are almost identical (there are differences in things

Why is that? Are the electrical characteristics of the phone line
actually that different from US lines?
I worked for a modem company for a few years, though I mostly

Update to the exhibition "Jack Rubin/Joerg Hoppe/Mark Matlock - Digital
PDP-8 minicomputers and a preview of the PiDP-11 "
I'm also showing an original PDP-15 panel with SimH simulation behind.

I was having problems recovering inner tracks on some 5.25 disk. I added some

to the computer.
Under the battery cover there is also a picofuse which may be blown if
someone was tinkering with the machine before.
The HP 110 is interesting if you want to play with HP-IL - it has some BIOS
