Subject: [Simh] PDP for beginners
I am looking to put up a PDP-# machine to play with. What machine and OS
should I use. I am looking for simple/beginner system, or as beginner it got.
I think I would start with a PDP-8. NO telnet terminal. Simple OS, lots of
software and support. If you want blinken lights try one of these:-

its SIMH with a nice panel
Also, not *nix, it is still alive and therefore boring.
Telnet terminals would be awesome but not necessary.

Here some step by step pics of mine as I built it that will give you an
idea of the effort involved. If you've ever built a kit, you'll find
this is a piece of cake and a fantastic retro front end for your R-Pi!

Have fun,
