I was watching Adrian's Basement, and he used a tool that looks like it's helpful in aligning and tuning floppy drives. It set recording levels for the write head, speed checks, etc. Does anyone know what this tool is and/or has an image I can get? I have like 5 drives I'd like to get all...

I picked up an Ace 1000 and I'm trying to get it up and running. I have a floppy drive on it, and a BMOW emulator as well. I don't have a bootable floppy disk unfortunately. Powering on the drive makes the traditional clunkitah-cllunktah, so I know it's initializing. Plugging in the BMOW...

I have an emulex scsi card for my 11/73, what I don't have is a proper SCSI SD adapter. There's zillions out there on the net, does anyone have one they prefer? Secondarily, I could use guidance on formatting the SD card properly to boot RT11 - I see @8008guy 's wonderful post here...

Hi everyone! I've inherited a PDP 11/73 that I'd really like to get up and running. I've gotten the serial console live, but on powerup I'm seeing Error 62 M8190 CPU Cache Error See troubleshooting documentation (a few lines of registers and addresses) I have the option of rerunning hte...

I used these in college, and had one myself for many years, and would very much like to get one again. If you have a source or have one lying artound, please let me know.

Hi everyone, I'm looking to pick up a 3b1 in any configuration (bump top or not, no worries). I'd prefer it complete (keyboard and mouse, floppy and HD). Thanks!
