Just got a PDP-11/84 into the basement, and after the Series/1 experience I
was ready... Go grab some 2x4 lumber if you ever need to get a rack system
up or down stairs... Now that it's down, I need to get it running. When I
plug it in and turn it on, it turns on the "DC on" light and the boot test
display says "77". And what is the easiest way to hook up a
terminal(probably use a WY-99GT or VT-220, maybe the WY-60)? It's a nice
system with 4MB RAM and a 9-track Cipher tape drive(I noticed that the tape
drive I have with my Series/1 appears to be a Cipher, or based on it as it
needs a Cipher tool to prepare the tape for the autoload feature). Any
ideas on how to hook the tape drive up?
