Hi Well I now have a full set of DEC orignal MicroRSX RX50 distribution disks. An old friend who I worked with at DEC had kept his install go bag and there they where. Not only that they are good and do boot. Its not over, RT-11 would be a better fit so I'm looking at that. Rod

I already have a Linux system (Ubuntu v20) the problem is I have no hardware that would run Linux and has a floppy controller. However thats no longer a problem as I have obtained a full original MicroRSX distribution on RX50. But thats not the end of the story.  RT-11 is next R On 24/02/2

Could be speaking ahead of answers here, but TI had an entire internal PN system for their parts in the 70s (I dealt with it in 75) and they did it to stop people from doing component level repairs on such as TI silent 700s.  I don't think there's a common P/N part in those. I couldn't get the

What about the M9300 board? Do you have an idea what the purpose is of that card? It look a bit like a M9302 but with more logic on it and a few jumpers and a LED. It also have a delay line and a monostable flip-flop. Here is a photo of a (dusty) M9300: http://forum.datormuseum.se/data/B21AEA95-02
