Re: Game of Life for PDP-8

When I first got my arduino and connected it to a small oled screen I thought about a script to generate life on the screen. As it was, I wrote a pong game, using pots for paddles. One thing to think about, in life, is how to deal with edges. One way is that the bits could just fall off. Another

Re: Game of Life for PDP-8

For those searching on the web, look for life and Conway. Otherwise you get a lot of other junk. There is an interesting video of an interview with John done not to many years ago. Dwight From: cctalk on behalf of dwight via cctalk Sent: Monday, April 8, 2019

I hit on the idea of using 16mm move film plastic "cans". Much to my surprise, I found that there is still an active market for these things. On Mon, 8 Apr 2019, Kevin Monceaux via cctalk wrote: My small 16mm collection is stored on an open reel tape cart. I wonder how tape rings would do on

Re: 1/2" tape storage.

Just got Larry Urbanski's film cans in--about the same as the others; 800' can fits a 10.5" tape reel perfectly. The difference is that Urbanski's aren't vented, which, while being a minus for acetate movie film, is probably a plus for mag tape: Image here: https://i.imgur.com/pVfkFqW.jpg At thi

Sticking RL02 positioner

One of my RL02 drives (that sat for a long time) has developed what appears to be a sticky head positioner. But it's only a problem going from the full-retracted position to loading track 0. Once it's loaded, the drive will pass all seek and read/write tests. It takes a surprising (to me) amoun

RE: Pleas ID this IBM system....

FWIW the tape drive is an IBM 2315 announced April 16, 1965 for use on low end S/360s. Here is a brochure as well as manuals at http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/ibm/2415/

Tape Storage Rack WAS: RE: 1/2" tape storage.

While on the subject of tape storage anyone know if it is still possible to get desktop/table top wire bins to hold tapes in canisters and/or reels? Not that I have that many tapes or anything like that. This would be more for display purposes than anything else. Something akin to this: ibm51xx
