Petey P. Twelve<p>A week or two ago, we got Kaleidoscope to run on the PDP-12! We haven't found and repaired any broken flip chips. So, either all the "percussive maintenance" we've been doing in the process of testing flip chips has paid dividends, or -- more likely -- I tried to run it in 8-mode last time... it is a LINC program. Anyway, enjoy these GIFs. <a href="https://teh.entar.net/tags/umdpdp12" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>umdpdp12</span></a> <a href="https://teh.entar.net/tags/pdp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pdp</span></a> <a href="https://teh.entar.net/tags/pdp12" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pdp12</span></a> <a href="https://teh.entar.net/tags/dec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dec</span></a> <a href="https://teh.entar.net/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://teh.entar.net/tags/vintagecomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vintagecomputing</span></a> <a href="https://teh.entar.net/tags/minicomputer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>minicomputer</span></a></p>

Stahlbrandt<p>1/ I fondly remember that evening in the early 1980’s when my dad, a research engineer at the Insititute of Physics (later “Teknikum”, later „Angstrom Lab“) in <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Uppsala" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Uppsala</span></a> brought home a trailer or two with a DEC PDP 7/9 <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/server" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>server</span></a> aka <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/minicomputer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>minicomputer</span></a> consisting of 5 x 19” full size racks plus a bunch of terminals (several of those TTY’s) and a *large* 117VAC transformer.
