Hello Everybody
After a two year pause due to my wife having been ill but now fully
recovered I am back to starting making pdp-8 front panels again
I have some stock:
pdp-8/e (type A - vertical selector switch start mark)
pdp-8/e (type B - selector switch start to left of vertical)
pdp-8
I've tried using the 8" drives as 8" drives with the clock input to the
8272 set correctly, and likewise with the 720KB 3.5" emulator (and even
360KB 5.25" emulation). On physical and virtual disks I'm getting the same
error trying to read or write data. Formatting steps through all the tracks

That's great Josh, I look forward to seeing it in action when I'm next at
LCM+L!
I had been thinking of doing something similar myself, as I also have an
8/e and RK05, but no RF08. Thanks for making the code available :)

After digging in the manual for the controller card, it appears they have set
it up to only support single density FM formatting. Even still, formatting the
disk 568KB FM with either clock speed 8MHz or 4MHz (and 500KHz / 250KHz WCLK
respectively), same outcome with missing address mark. I thi
Anyone have one of these collecting dust?
