    Floating Point Systems AP-120B Array Processor

    The ap-120 and fps-100 schematics are up now under http://bitsavers.org/pdf/floatingPointSystems The ap-120 were blueprints so they are zipped jp2. I kept the FPS-100 scans as individual bi-tonal tiffs

    8v switching power supply

    I don't know if anyone has come across this model of 12v supply before, but it is adjustable from 0 to 12v and it works fine as an 8v supply for S-100 systems as an alternative for the monster linear non-regulated supplies normally in the system MZMW MS-600-12 https://www.ebay.com/itm/277231104802

    California IBM System/23 Datamaster 5324 (Tower Model of the 5322) with Original Clicky Keyboard

    Have you tried asking Dave McGuire if he could take pictures of the keyboards on his systems? https://forum.vcfed.org/index.php?threads/ibm-5324.37938/post-1320410 There is a picture of the top of the adapter board somewhere either here or on the cctlk discord but I'm having trouble turning it...

    Have you made the sources for your tools (in particular the BRU unpacking tool) available?

    DECUS Tape with DECUS C and other C compilers

    Have you found any other tape images on bitsavers that have the same problem with duplicated blocks?

    Tektronix 4115B and 4170

    detailed pictures and firmware dumps of both units would be interesting. there were versions of the 4170 that ran cpm/86 it was a pretty sophisticated raster graphics system in the early 80s I have some information on bitsavers. http://bitsavers.org/pdf/tektronix/411x...

    Floating Point Systems AP-120B Array Processor

    would it be possible to get a copy of the schematics to add to the information on bitsavers?

    Question about original PDP-11/70 Front Panel

    here is the actual standard http://bitsavers.org/pdf/dec/standards/EL-00092-00-0_F_Finish_and_Color_Standard_Dec82.pdf page 53 specifies "Brite Rose" and "Morris Maroon" specified by the supplier of the silk-screen ink

    E&L MMD-1/MI Expansion Board

    I'm about to start cleaning up a sad looking MMD-1. I notice it has a 6.75 MHz crystal on the 8224. It must be dog slow.
