We found a shorted diode in one of the rectifiers in the +/-42VDC supply in
the VR14 that was causing the main fuse to blow. The donor of the PDP-12
gave us a spare so that was an easy fix.
We reinstalled the VR14 in the PDP-12 and ran the display diags. The VR14
display actually works!
We found
Does it include ISPF? Using MVS is a bear without it...

Dennis is correct, the MTS source and binary tapes were released to the
public a few years back and the URL he quotes is the hub for everything
MTS. If you want to spin up an instance yourself from scratch, I wrote a

Just a follow-up on the problem of a Supermicro P6DGE taking forever to
boot up.
I tried several versions of the BIOS with pretty much the same result.
Since each reset the configuration (CMOS) memory, there was little issue
of an overlooked setting contributing to the slow boot.

The UMich guys have made available images of tapes from many MTS
releases. Not all releases are complete. They've also provided a built
system of D6.0 (1986? -87?) with all the further changes it was running

Hmmm. Not that I recall. Seems to me that one could boot with the boot
switch in service mode (so it doesn't boot right through to DOMAIN/OS,
though, and you could get a shell, allowing one to use a command-line
