I don't actually have the machines yet... I have to make room for
them first. I'll be getting
pdp-8/a
pdp-8/m
pdp-8/e
lab-8 (w/scope)
pdp-11/34 (w/vt11, vr14 and light pen)
manuals
spares
I'm going to be getting the manuals and spares and anything small
I can fit in my car first. Then I'll get the 11/34 and one of
the -8s, which are mounted in a DEC corporate short cab. Once
this is in place at home, I'll go back for the two tall cabs
which house the other three -8s and their devices.
There are no connections between the tall cabs and the short cab,
which is why that will be moderatly easy. I don't yet know if
there are connections between the two tall cabs... I'll have to
remove the systems to reduce the cab weight... so I'll be marking
lots of cabling (i expect) to ensure it all goes back together
successfully.
I will admit that I am not going to keep it all... I do plan on
keeping the 11/34, the lab-8 and the 8/e. One of the remaining
-8s is destined for a friend, and the last one I will probably make
available to someone from this list (please, NO mail at this time...
operators are NOT standing by) once I figure out an equitable way
to do so...
First things first, however. I have to GET the stuff before I do
anything else... :-)
