To Do

8L: Debug W076X and M452X.; Upgrade console with W076X and M452X.; Determine why core is erased sometimes, and FOCAL won’t run.; Connect the DF32 emulator and get it working.; Install 4K Disk system on DF32 emulation.
8i: Check out power supply.; Reconnect power, fix front panel control logic.; Fix M706, console subsystem, get it working.; Upgrade console with W076X and M452X.; Get PC04 working with it, or another DF32 emulator.
TTY#1: Try to get it working. Keyboard is messed up, reader is dead.
TTY#2: Repair printer and punch. They worked recently!; Figure out how to add reader-run.
TTY#3: Fix printer and punch.; Figure out the wiring harness.
RK05#1: Install the new elbow when it comes.; Clean up the inside of the drive.; Rack mount the drive.
RK05#2: Clean up the inside of the drive.; Rack mount the drive in the bottom of the rack, on pivot rails.
8e#1: Fix or replace low 8k core memory.; Fix or replace RK8E. (Skip if ready shouldn’t load AC).; Make or buy cable for RK8E. Get RK05s working with it.; Fix or replace the EAE. (Mode B isn’t working.)
8e#2: Test for basic operation. Decide which 8e to keep in the rack.; Replace semiconductor memory.; Try to fit into one back-plane.; Get TU56, TU10, DSD410, PC04 to work.
TU56: Replace leaky electrolytic and debug power supply.; Connect to TD8E and see if it works.
TU10: Debug power supply.; Make or buy cable for it.; Connect to 8e and see if it works.
PC04: Debug power supply.; Connect to PC8E and see if it works.
DSD410: Connect to 8e and see if it works.
8eExt: Determine if additional back-plane is needed. Sell if not.
DSD411: Determine if it works.; Add it to the 8e, if so.
8a#1: Get the front panel working. Verify CPU operation.; Get the RX02s working with it.; Get the RL02s working with it.
RX02s: Debug why DD doesn’t work well.; Get them working with the 8a, instead of the 8e.
RL02s: Get them rack mounted, rather than just stacked in the rack.; Get them working with the 8a.
8a#2: Assemble, test, debug, sell.
DMII: Get it to boot from floppy.; Try to find hard disk or RX02 card for it.
DMIII: Working! Try to find a place for keyboard/display.
Tty43#1: Find a source for ribbons.; Get it working, or sell it.; Decide whether to keep it.
Tty43#2: Find a source for ribbons.; Fix keyboard problems.; Decide whether to keep it.
TU55: Get it working. Install it on the 8a with spare TD8e.
11/34: Get it working with RX01. Sell it.
RX01: Get it working with 11/34. Sell it.
Spares: Determine which work. Debug or sell the rest.
