Hi,
I finally picked up the DECMate III that was at my uncle's house. The WPS
binders and software got thrown away, but I suppose I could download that
stuff from SunSite. I have been told that this is a PDP-8. Is it possible
to use 8" disks with this? It only has a dual 5.25" drive (RX50?).
Forgive me, I am not familiar with DEC machines. Oh, and one more thing.
Can the screen/keyboard be replaced with a PC running a terminal emulator?
The screen is attached via a 15-pin cable but otherwise resembles a
VT-220. Thanks.
