Hi Lyle What is a 88/45? I look up the 310 systems on the web but none mention 88/45. Is the PAL for address decoding or something more complicated? Dwight From: cctalk on behalf of Lyle Bickley via cctalk Sent: Monday, June 17, 2019 1:39 PM To: cctalk@classiccm

Hi Ronan, I know you meant 'in Ireland.' But I can't resist: I'm of Irish ancestry, though born and residing in Sydney Australia. Also "My particular interest is in DEC pdp-8 and pdp11 machines." Never thought I'd actually have any, until unexpected events of 2018 and ongoing. Now so far I hav

I'm in the process of restoring an Intel 310 system. I had it working to the point where it was trying to boot - when the 88/45 processor began to fail intermittently and then solidly. My debugging seems to indicate that the problem is in a PLD - which is a serious bummer. I have preserved the ROM

I was in Dublin until recently. I actually had a vaxstation flown into Ireland from the states but it moved back with me to Canada recently. I do know someone in Galway area who had a couple Vaxen but he uses them as coffee tables and I couldn't seem to interest him in getting them booted. I'll s
