Go for it... I grabbed a large pdp-12 configuration, with software and
manuals, plus a bunch of spares, including a complete spare CPU, last
week, so my good Karma is adequate at present.
I'd probably have had a hack at it if no-one else did, but if you know
*anything* about Burroughs you know more than I do, so....
PS William: still haven't forgotten your LINC-8 hulk, still interested
in pursuing that, would like to come and have a look some time.
PPS anyone reading this: my pdp-12 is missing one vital feature, the
tall, narrow green door that covers the I/O terminals etc. Anyone by
any miracle got a spare? And, sorry for missing VCF-East; I screwed-up
my dates, we only got back from vacation in Scotland on Sunday. I had
planned to get back the weekend *before* VCF. Corestore will be out in
force next year!
PPPS Al: are we missing any important pdp-12 software or docs for
bitsavers?
