...to read and write DECtapes...

The PDP-12 System Reference Manual says: The TC12-F option (prewired) in conjunction with the PRTC12-F program extends the TC12 LINCtape control to read and write DECtapes formatted on the PDP-8, PDP-9, PDP-IQ, and PDP-15 computers.

Thanks for finding that Al.

The keyboard/printer is a daisy-wheel. The mechanism looks similar to a DEC LQP02 that was made by Diablo/Xerox. I will put more board pictures on the WWW page shortly.

The CPU is implemented with a pair of Signetics 74181 4-bit ALU chips, so maybe a derivative of the 16-bit Xerox Alto minicomputer.

The Rhode Island Computer Museum recently received a Xerox 800-4 Cassette Based Word Processor. We found some promotional videos on YouTube, a Dutch brochure, an advertisement, and a DataPro report. We found no operation, installation, maintenance, or repair manuals. Does anyone have any...

This is my Sun display at VCF East 2.0 held at Sun's office in Burlington, Ma. The left tower is a Sun 2/120, It has 1152x900 monochrome graphics, 5 MB RAM (4 MB on a Helios Memory Board), a Sun/Intel Ethernet board, a Sun Serial/SCSI adapter, a Xylogics 450 SMD controller, 2x CDC 94155-85 71...

The RICM has 6x Series/1 systems. We have never powered them up, and have only done a limited inventory. I don't think that we have any documentation for them. https://www.ricomputermuseum.org/collections-gallery/equipment/ibm-series1

One S/N after mine!

About 3 hours, but I have a lot of practice soldering and used a really hot iron.

You can download and install the PiDP-10 software package on a Pi without the front panel. That will give you some time to learn about the software before you get a front panel.

The quality of the PCBs, switches, and molded plastic parts were top notch. I had no trouble with soldering and fitting everything together. Everything actually worked on the first try.

I recently bought a PiDP-10 from Oscar Vermeulen at: https://obsolescence.wixsite.com/obsolescence/pidp10. He also makes replica PDP-8/I and PDP-11/70 front panels. Oscar plans to make additional KA-10 display panels that will connect to the KA-10 console. The PiDP-10 front panel is a 60%...

From what Google finds an HSC70 will work with a KL10, but with a maximum of 24 disks.

Maybe RM05 disks?
