HP-35/45 Simulator for PDP-8

Just thought I'd share with you all one of my pet projects for the past few years. I have written an HP-35 and HP-45 simulator for the PDP-8, which uses the original microcode from these calculators. Thus, it is just as accurate as the original calculators, I would believe. Not really sure why I

vt100 terminfo with padding for an actual vt100?

Hi all — I’m trying to run a real-deal vt100 on a serial port connected to Linux (Xubunto 16.04). I’ve got this working *pretty* well, but it looks like the padding values in the default vt100 terminfo entry are not quite correct — when running the vt100 at 9600 I still get occasional garbage

Data Genera MPT/100

I have a nice, clean DG MPT/100 I'm in the process of restoring. As you might expect, I contacted Bruce at "Wild Hare" to see what documentation and software he had for the critter. He was able provide some helpful PDF documentation - but NO schematic or software. Without software, the MPT/100

Re: Power Supply capacitor physical size

I try very hard to match physical size and since, as has been noted, that usually means higher working voltage, it's not a negative. If you're preserving something as an historical artifact, be sure to document what you've done! Otherwise, someone will be really confused 10-20 years from now
