The LINK indicator light on the front panel of the PDP-12 failed two weeks
ago. The indicator light bulb failed, briefly shorted, and destroyed the
transistor that turns the indicator on. An new transistor and bulb, and all
is well.
We have been chasing a transient problem in the PDP-12 core memor

Yes, it would be great if we could hook 14 year old kids on
programming computers - but really, tha
Thanks to Josh Dersch I now have a good copy of the ROM for the Altos 8500
boards. I’ve put it up online here:

I burned it and popped it in but my Altos still doesn’t come up. Nothing is

There is a good grain of truth to that. In complex Minecraft command

Thanks a lot for the detailed answer Glen. I have looked in more detail into
my machine and its rear connectors. It's a 21MX (2112A), and it has two
battery holders at the back. The old batteries even came with it (!). On
this machine the battery connectors are just two pronged, + and -, so no

That's a good suggestion. On the R2 group, the Builders Log section was

Hi there!
Anyone remember much about Tru64 + LSM? It's been a while since I've done
much with Tru64, and I never used LSM before.
I got some new 36GB disks and am doing a fresh install, and wanted to mirror
them with LSM, as the SCSI controller is not a RAID card.
Initially, the installe

That marks it as an "A-version" power supply.
