Adventure immediately types out a 4 or 5 line "room" description, which

Hi Dave,
Thanks for Bob Armstrong's old email.
I have not seen Jim's VHDL code, but I am quite confident I can fix this.

Hi Dave,
Could you please explain how exactly the VT emulation "kills" the Fortran run
time system in OS
at smecc we have an extra first model classic-8 in a rack the blue one
that a white desk section can mount to not the Plexiglas surrounds do
not know what it would take to plexi one but this is in a rack.
downside? it is at the back of a warehouse so it would not b
OS8.

We'll see. At the moment I'm not interested in selling either of the
8/L's. The 8/E is a bit more complicated, will have to think about that.

Tom Uban fully built "Spare Time Gizmos" SBC6120 based computer complete
with front-panel and IO board is on its way to me. :-)
I am still looking to buy one of the following PDP-8 models:
PDP-8/F
PDP-8/E
PDP-8/L
PDP-8/I
PDP-8/M
Dave, Chris, Paul and Robert I am looking forward to getting mor
I have received a lot of feedback about desirable DEC PDP-8 models.
Here is my updated list of PDP-8 models I would be interested in buying:
PDP-8/F
PDP-8/E
PDP-8/L
PDP-8/I
PDP-8/M
I am also interested in buying a "Spare Time Gizmos" SBC6120 based computer
complete with front-panel and IO board.
Oscar makes one run of his PiDP-8/I kit about every month. The complete kit
is only $165 plus $40 for shipping.
I got the kit in September and it is easy to assemble if you know how to
solder. It took me about 4 hours.
The kit is based on SIMH running on a Raspberry PI.
The front panel size is 60%
Hi Tom,
You haven't replied to my email to you about your SBC6120.
I would like to buy your Spare Times Gizmo kit and would be happy to pay a
reasonable price.
Would $800 be acceptable?
Thanks and best regards

Chris,
Whoops, somehow I'd read your reply to Tom Uban but completely misread
what it was you were asking by skimming over what he said.
Anyway, as far as SBC6120s go, I don't know of anyone "building them", as
in a ready built system, but blank PCBs are available on chipkin.ru if you
can to

Your chances are excellent, depending on your budget. I have two ‘8e’s, a
straight 8, and a vt270. Each has issues: the 270 won’t boot, nor will the 8e’s
(they have 8” floppies either rx02 or rx01’s, vt100/ 101’s, asr 33,35, and
32’s), and the straight 8 comes up with all zeros every eighth memo
Hi John,
If you see any other PDP-8/E,F,L,I for sale could you please keep me in

Also a switchmode PSU which is much lighter than the -8/E linear supply.
But the -8/M normally has the minimal panel with the power key and
minimal toggle switches.
Widen your search to pdp8/L's. I still have the pair of them I bought a
few years back, once the 11/24 is in service I'll start on them...

I wouldn't get your hopes up. Finding a PDP-8 of any description is
going to be fairly difficult in this day and age, even a PDP-8/A. I'd
assume that the majority of those that were made were either scrapped,
or are now in private hands, where the owners would be unwilling to part
with them.
I know it is the year 2020 but nevertheless what are my chances of finding
