Re: [TUHS] the pdp11/34 BOOTED!!! :)))

Wow, thanks for posting the pics, MAJORLY cool ! it's incredible, after 3 years, it BOOTED !!! the images, taken some minutes ago, are here: http://zaverio.net/pdp11 it's INCREDIBLE we removed the cpu boards, we looked all the chips in it ... eating pizza and sicilian food (you can see it in the photos), and we re-inserted them ... and, just for a desperate test, we tried CTRL-BOOT ... and, THE CPU was RUNNING! so we tested all the console cables ... that seem not working ... we found another cable, with a null-modem converter, so we connected an old IBM terminal ... and, it was incredible, we had the CONSOLE CURSOR!!! :))) NOW, the next step is to FIND what was faulty ... a false contact in the board connectors ??? any other hint? :) p.s. tonight we want to install UNIX. :D -- [ asbesto : IW9HGS : freaknet medialab : radiocybernet : poetry ] [ http://freaknet.org/asbesto http://papuasia.org/radiocybernet ] [ http://www.emergelab.org :: NON SCRIVERMI USANDO LE ACCENTATE ] [ *I DELETE* EMAIL > 100K, ATTACHMENTS, HTML, M$-WORD DOC, SPAM ] ___________________________________________________________________ Try Juno Platinum for Free!
