There's no central repository for fixes like these?

The web says:
"Initial checkin whilst I figure out what format the files are"
I took a quick look and guessed a little:

void pchar(char c)
{
c &= 0177;
if ((c < ' ') || (c == 0177)

How far did Foonex diverge from BB&N TENEX? If not TOO far, it might
be nice to have them both as branches in one repository, for comparison.

Yes, it looks much like the contents of your F2/files directory, minus
the microcode.

While waiting for the machine, I decided to investigate the stuck drum.

If enough working heads can be found, the drum probably can be

I am looking for schematics or any documentation for the LA180
interface for the PDP8/e. A scan would be great. I want to see if I

There are running LGP-30s. Should be short work with a digital oscillosope to
capture the flux changes.

Add some RAM, maybe a DISC-II card and those things overheated even +with+
the vents.. that's why the Cider fan became popular, among other things.
When I was in high school, we'd pop the case tops open, and run them that
way. Otherwise, they'd overheat and start screwing
