I have a pretty full complement of printed manuals, so if anyone wants to send me a PDP 10, I would appreciate it. . I guess I would even pick it up. Yes. On Thu, Mar 28, 2019 at 3:34 PM Noel Chiappa via cctalk < cctalk@classiccmp.org> wrote: > > From: Mattis Lind > > > It is KATIA.

Does anyone have a working Apollo 3C505 ISA ethernet board handy to look at? The MAME guys are trying to figure out if the boot prom and the firmware eproms are populated. There is conflicting information on the net. https://jim.rees.org/apollo-archive/photo-gallery/ether-505.jpg shows no boot
