If you have a 2113B and a 2117F could you use those as a base? What are the
magic parts? Some special and rare interconnect boards? And a special and rare
async mux? And particular disc requirements?

Hi, all,
Just figured I'd post something about my tinkering yesterday.
I got an M8830 from Paul Anderson. This is the crystal-contolled clock
for the Omnibus PDP 8 machines.
Yesterday, I had a chance to try it out.
First, I checked the power supply pin
somewhere i have an edu system book.
HA! yea the fixed head drives made better swapping media! for tss 8
as core was small in those days!

FYI - in the not too distant future I'm going to get back to my 8E rig. I'll
be pulling out the TU10/TM11(unused, obviously) from the second cabinet and
putting in an RX01 and RK05, and hopefully connecting up the TU56 and PC04
that are in the main cabinet.
In any case, my goal is to run ETOS on t
