OS/8 V3T? I'm aware of V3S. Does the standard Serial disk build give OS8 V3T? What are the differences between V3S and V3T?

The computer history museum's website says the have Edusystem 10 in their paper tape library. Maybe there is a way to get a binary copy. https://www.computerhistory.org/collections/catalog/102675801

Edusystem 5 Basic Edusystem 10 Basic Focal Amity That's what we ran on the PDP-8/L at my school in 1972 - 1975.

Vince, Would you recommend booting off an RX02 system disk or an RX01 system disk. I vaguely recall discussing this with you and you saying that creating an RX02 OS/8 boot disk is difficult (I don't recall why).

Please add me to the list for your emulator. Thank you.

Vince That's because I zipped them up on a Pi using the standard gnome file explorer which uses 7-zip but the uploader for the forums does not except .7z files just .zip files. Sorry for the confusion.

The ECS connectors are approx $15/$16 with a 100 minimum quantity order from ECS themselves. With a 5 to 6 week lead time.

George, As always please keep me in the loop and put me down for a couple. Thanks, Mike

If you are looking for a good home for any PDP-8 16 sector packs, I need some. Thanks...

Attached are two bash scripts (tested on Raspberry Pi OS) for serial disk. run each script with sudo ./<scriptname>. If an existing os8diskserver directory is present it will be renamed and a new copy installed. getos8diskserver -- installs all of the necessary files to build the...

Vince, Thanks for the suggestion. I have a yellow that is very close but it is slighty translucent and shiny so it doesn't have the matte look of the switches. I will try several colors and see what I can find. I may also try printing with a 0.25mm nozzle instead of the 0.40mm standard one...

I am attempting to match the PDP-8 front panel switch colors using Vince's 3D model. I have been able to print them quite well (with typical 3d banding) on my Prusa MK3S+ with a .4mm nozzle. I have a 0.25mm nozzle i'm tempted to try using. I am hoping to match the actual standard PDP-8/E (Not...

Once i got the orientation right these came out pretty good but to be honest I think an SLA printer would do a better job than an FDM printer.

Hanukkah Clause brought me the Prusa a couple of years ago. This last year he brought me a laser cutter/engraver.

I took Vince's switch paddle and played with it until I could get it the best that I can on my Prusa MK3S+. Here are the results: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ogop3aTsTOpLXn-rV4LReY2V4WLvuCEy?usp=share_link This were printed standing on the tabs that slide over the switch on the...

Though I haven't printed switch handles I have printed things that need a fair amount of strength. For out and out strength I use PLA infused with carbon fiber. I haven't printed any switch handles but I would be glad to print some for someone if I have the colors you want in stock.

Count me in for the emulator. I have a few "over the top" edge connectors available from my purchase, please direct message me if you are interested. This is the connector:

Roland, Congrats on the new job. I have one RK05 in pieces with bad bearing on the head positioner and fan and another that I think might work but needs some TLC. I need to get my 8/E up and running and stable before I really tackle the RK05. I don't know how i can help you with the software...

Roland, Did you ever finish your RK05 exerciser? MIke
