I just acquired a PDP-11/84 that didn't come with a console panel.
That should have a 25-pin D-shell connector for the console serial
port, a baud rate selection switch, and a forced dialog switch, with a
single 20-pin connector for a ribbon cable that attaches to the
KDJ11-B and MDM. The part numb
While looking for some other docs, I found a few new copies of Multiplan
for the VT180, NOS. White folder, 2 books, sealed floppy.
If you have any questions or interest, please contact me off list. Easy to
mail from zip 61853.

Hi Lee:
I am aware of the CHM files and I have a number of APL documents that might not

Hi Norman,
I don;t have any specific information on this terminal, but wanted to make
sure you are aware of the APL archive hosted at the Computer History Museum

Hi:
I just recently acquired a Cybernex APL-100 APL/ASCII terminal; it appears to
be complete, but the only documentation that I have for it is a sales brochure.
Is there anyone familiar with this? It was manufactured in Ottawa, Ontario
(Canada) in the late '70s - any technical information wou
