If we can id the Chicago double-sided key Mike _does_ need, I can probably make it. The CCL 4T1427 key, which is NOT what Mike needs, would be cut on an Ilco S1003A blank, cuts 1427 bow-to-tip. The CAT99 key I see referenced in the list archives (might open a cab back door) would be on an Ilco S1

I've been interviewing people who used the Alto in various scenarios (system devs, app devs, non-expert users) and NO ONE used the keyset. It's fascinating historically, but in part because of its apparent irrelevancy. -- Ian On Wed, Sep 20, 2017 at 1:21 AM, CuriousMarc via cctalk < cctalk@class

Hi Rod, I had an similar issue, when trying to boot a RX02 Disk created on my /84 on a /34a. Have bypassed this and have installed a fresh RT11, but had no time to figure out the problem. Would it of interest for you, to get RX02 Images (PDP11GUI) of my RT-11 V5.4 G Distribution Set? With them

Hi    1.   The complete RX02 with cable and disk (initialized and system copied /boot to it) boots the 11/73 on an RX02 controller so mode is correct.    2.        The 11/94 boot menu allows you to choose DY0 or DY1 and both have been tried after moving the floppy of course.     3.

I see you have the same problem as I did encounter: a rusting shaft that binds the keys together... I agree, they really spent big $ for production level tooling (and industrial design and engineering) to make the chordset, it is quite impressive. Marc On Sep 16, 2017, at 1:58 PM, Al Kossow v
