Hello All
Well I managed to find some suitable rubber tubing and
glued it in place of the nasty black mess.
So I put everything back and turned on. Lo and Behold LED on the board
flashed once and stayed on.

Keep an eye on the tach roller, the rubber degrades.
They are nice drives, but they spin fast and are not gentle on tapes.

Alright, a lot has happened since 24 hours ago! In summary:
1. 6012 advances the tape one byte but doesn't change the accumulator.
2. 6015 reads the tape buffer and skips when ready. (Josh: you're correct;

I am darn glad I asked for a lathe instead of a car (and driving lessons) when

Hi
My late uncle had a Myford in a shed at my Grandmothers house in
Norfolk.
By the time I was tall enough to use it he had moved it to his house

I used my PDP-8/e at home to test the RX8E controller and the RX01 floppies

We found a bad SP380 on a M7102 board in the DW8E the Omnibus expansion
