I've recently found that I might be dealing more with a hardware problem than a software problem though. After simple tests of just trying to write something if the card picked up anything failed, I took a closer look at the card and saw that the people who were playing around with the M8650 before me have scrapped off some of the traces in certain parts and had clumsily added a few components themselves. Now, in order to try to get things to finally work, I'm left wondering what the people before me took off of the card and how I can fix it. If you happen to have the schematics for the M8650, or an extra card you could part with that can be used for making a serial connection, please let me know. -Paul Schmidt schmidtp@carleton.edu From cjl@maestro.com Thu Aug 4 21:47:18 1994 Received: from SunSITE.Unc.EDU by maestro.Maestro.COM (4.1/MAESTRO-0.1/07-03-93) id AA14245; Wed, 3 Aug 94 16:05:01 EDT Received: from watsun.cc.columbia.edu by SunSITE.Unc.EDU (5.65c+IDA/FvK-1.07) with SMTP id AA04469; Wed, 3 Aug 1994 16:07:47 -0400 Received: from mailhub.cc.columbia.edu by watsun.cc.columbia.edu with SMTP id AA25638 (5.65c+CU/IDA-1.4.4/HLK for ); Wed, 3 Aug 1994 16:07:30 -0400 Received: from life.ai.mit.edu by mailhub.cc.columbia.edu with SMTP id AA10660 (5.65c+CU/IDA-1.4.4/HLK for ); Wed, 3 Aug 1994 16:07:27 -0400 Received: by life.ai.mit.edu (4.1/AI-4.10) for lasner@cunixf.cc.columbia.edu id AA16090; Wed, 3 Aug 94 15:39:30 EDT Return-Path: Received: from hq.si.net by life.ai.mit.edu (4.1/AI-4.10) for /usr/lib/sendmail -oi -fpdp8-lovers-request@ai.mit.edu pdp8-lovers-list id AA16079; Wed, 3 Aug 94 15:39:27 EDT Received: from rs-pb.si.net ([160.81.141.240]) by hq.si.net with SMTP id AA07220 (5.67b/IDA-1.5 for ); Wed, 3 Aug 1994 15:11:48 -0400 X-Mailer: InterCon TCP/Connect II 1.2.1 Message-Id: <9408031507.AA59663@rs-pb.si.net> Date: Wed, 3 Aug 1994 15:07:59 -0400 From: "Robert E.

One is a lab8/e system (green paint job on the front panel), the other is a PDP-8/e. He listed the following options as being present on both machines (his list wasn't complete): M8350 KA8E External positive I/O bus interface M884 KG8E Parity Generator Detector for DP8E M8655 KL8JA Terminal Control (UART based substitute for M8650) M848 KP8E Power fail and auto-restart He also says there is a paper tape reader/punch and 25 or more rolls of psper tape, plus many "flip'n'file" plastic paper-tape holders. The system was supposed to be functional when he got it, but it hasn't been tested recently. This is an excellent chance for folks in the east-central states to get their hands on a machine. If you want to arrange to pick up one of these machines, please reply directly to Chuck Taylor, not to me. Doug Jones jones@cs.uiowa.edu
