Hi!
It's many interesting things here.
I hope I can pass by Anchor Electronics. When I was looking on the map
where to find it I noticed that Intel (and it's museum) is just a few
blocks away.
I think I'll miss Electronics flea market, I have read abut this in
another context as well. It wo

Hi,
I got a stash of documentation yesterday. Found a book "WANG 370
calculating system, program library volume 1" which I don't have any use
for. Looks to be almost unread, it has become a bit yellow and it has a
small sticker on the front page. Printed in 1968.
Is there anybody that want's it (

Hi,
Most of the documentation is found here:
http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/dec/pdp8/pdp8a/
For some basic testing look here:
http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/dec/pdp8/pdp8a/EK-8A001-OP-002_PDP-8A_Operators_Handbook_Sep76.pdf
in chapter 5.1 (pdf page number 48).
To do basic memory read and write:

I used Lyle's updated version to show Spacewar on my PDP-8/a during this
weekends retro event "RetroGathering" in Sweden. It works great!
I did two modifications to the code:
1. Use digital IO instead of the switch register so I could use hand
controls to let the audience play the game.
2. Fixed
Hi,
I'm looking after some documentation on the BASF 6104 8" floppy drive. I
really want to know how to align it properly.
I do not have a 8" alignment disc, can it be done without one?

Not that I'm aware of. I can do it, but I don't have daily access to
the machine so it will take a couple of months.
has the firmware been dumped from this?

yes, I think so

Hi,
I've been looking for a KK8E for some time now. It's the set of two
boards: M8340/M8341. If you have one to sell me please contact me off
list.
I'm also interested in hints that can lead me to one.
I'll give them a good home.

Hi,
I tried to run the diskless controller test on my PDP8/A. It fails before
any tests has been executed. I suspect that my RL8A controller is broken.
The CPU tests and the memory tests works fine.
The test stopped @ address 5713 (display shows 5714), MD buff = 7402, AC = 0

Hi,
I have a bunch of PCB's from a HP3000 series 52 computer. Is some one
interested in those?
The machine itself was still working when it was taken out of service in
the late 1990's. No guaranties are given though.
The location is in south of Sweden, but I'll guess I can pack them and
