I'm still trying to get my head around the fact that a Heathkit H11 was really a DEC PDP11 in disguise.

Almost finished the #PiDP8 kit today! Loads of soldering! Just one bad LED had to be fixed by replacing it. It works pretty well and itโ€™s awesome! The #RaspberryPiZero2W does all the emulation. Canโ€™t wait to write programs via the front switches โ€“ and play SpaceWar! later on. But before that I have to finish the casing! #ComputerHistory #electronics #decpdp #decpdp8 #pdp8 #SpaceWar ๐Ÿ‘‰ http://www2.rdrop.com/~paulmck/projects/spacewar/

Fixing A PDP-11/03 Power Supply Is Easy When You Understand It

After we last saw [David Lovett] of [Usagi Electric], he was knee-deep in trying to fix a DEC PDP-11/03 power supply, which fortunately led to a fixed PSU and a very happy PDP-11/23 system installeโ€ฆ

@alphabetter One of my mentors was a PDP-11 person and he always talked about the resemblance. He loaned me some DEC manuals to illustrate his point. #decpdp #decpdp11

Preserving Floppy Disks

Time is almost up for magnetic storage from the 80s and 90s. Various physical limitations in storage methods from this era are conspiring to slowly degrade the data stored on things like tape, flopโ€ฆ
