OK, the last part of my shipment just showed up, the Papertape reader. I'd
thought the PC04 was a reader/punch. Am I correct in my revised
assumption, that it came in three models; reader/punch, reader, and punch?
Now for the first question, should there be anything on the right side
(looking from the front) if it's only a reader? For some reason I've a bad
feeling that I don't have a complete reader...
On a positive note, the PDP-8/E looks to be in *far* better shape than I'd
been lead to believe, so hopefully I'll be able to get it up and running
with minimal effort (I could be so lucky). Though it's large enough I'm
very tempted to transplant pieces into my PDP-8/M and put the /E in storage.
Also I got a terrific looking pile of documenation and Volume 3 of the
hardware manuals is twice the size of the copy I already had. Most of the
manuals are ones I didn't have, and I've finally got a printset :^)
