Ok, so the MF10 would have been hooked up to a KI10. That makes sense then. Still interesting wonder what set of bad decisions led it to my box of parts Anyone need DZ11's? C On 10/20/2020 11:39 PM, Eric Smith wrote: On Tue, Oct 20, 2020 at 8:06 PM Chris Zach via cctalk mailto:cctalk@cla

Or maybe a PDP-15? 18 bits plus parity. Possible, did the pdp15 use that type of board? I would guess that that would be much more likely. Problem is I have never been near a pdp15, but I have been in proximity to AI. I don't remember what happened to it after Doug's apartment, I do remem
