My desktop LSI-11 setup.
A 4-slot dual backplane with an 11/03 front panel, plus MXV11 and a W9512 wire-wrap module giving some parallel I/O and a pair of D/A's.
The fans are 12V, but running from 5V, so they are nice and quiet.
The little MCU board hanging on the left side drives the LSI console, and is a virtual COM port on a PC via USB. It has a micro-SD card for storing PDP code images. The virtual COM port has a 'command mode' for telling the MCU what to do. The MCU also talks to the 11/03 front panel, to perform Halt or Restart, and to drive the 3rd LED (normally unpopulated) in the FP.
Power supply is an H7842A from a Rainbow.
In the space above the FP, I want to add a 7-segment LED display (or similar).
The only code image so far is my hack of FigFORTH V1.3.
