Hello Henk,
A great idea! Now, if the I/O sandwich board could also be configured
for use with an
original PDP panel, then that will be even better. I'm quite sure there
are several
list members who have a panel but do not necessarely have the attached
hardware.
Using a separate SBC to control the panel (new or original) can also
mean that it can
be linked with Bob Supniks PDP emulator, although some additional
interface routines
may need to be written.
In any case, this makes a new model in the PDP series, the PDP-11/486.
