Best moments when two hobbies come together. Here I added a 3D printed, very solid stand to my self-assembled PiDP-8 replica of a #PDP8. The hand rest barely fit diagonally onto the print bed, phew! Together with four silicone bumpers the whole thing doesn’t move a bit on the desk. 👌 #3dprinting #computerhistory #decpdp8 #digitalpdp8 #bambulab #x1carbon #PiDP8

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 it’s awesome! The #RaspberryPiZero2W does all the emulation. Can’t wait to write programs via the front switches – and play SpaceWar! later on. But before that I have to finish the casing! #ComputerHistory #electronics #decpdp #decpdp8 #pdp8 #SpaceWar 👉 http://www2.rdrop.com/~paulmck/projects/spacewar/

Over a week ago I received my happily expected #PiDP8 kit – but haven’t found the time yet to solder and assemble it! 🙈 The #RaspberryPi Zero 2, however, already runs the emulator. 😊 That’s a LOAD of LEDs to solder accurately. 😅 #decpdp8 #pdp8 #electronics #computerhistory

Thinking about the DEC PDP-5. #decpdp8
