Space HoboDear <a href="https://teh.entar.net/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RetroComputing</a> <a href="https://teh.entar.net/tags/PDP8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PDP8</a> enthusiasts, do any of you have a neglected <a href="https://teh.entar.net/tags/PiDP8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PiDP8</a> that you no longer use? Was it a fun lockdown toy that you no longer interact with? Are you within postal distance of <a href="https://teh.entar.net/tags/London" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#London</a>? If so, get in touch: I'm working on a project in PAL assembler and would love to have the front switches and lights, but not enough to order and assemble the thing.I can replace the <a href="https://teh.entar.net/tags/SBC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SBC</a> inside, if you already scavenged it for something else! I just wonder if anyone has one taking up space that they'd rather use for something else these days.

Stefan Wolfrum :mastodon:<a href="https://oldbytes.space/@kenshirriff" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@kenshirriff</a> Thx for the info, Master Ken! 🤗 It was a dream come true when I visited the CHM in May 2013. ❤️ I wish I can do it again some fine day in the future. It would be amazing to then be able to meet & greet & hang out a bit with you and the „gang“ around <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CuriousMarc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CuriousMarc</a>. Until then I‘ll play with my <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PiDP8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PiDP8</a> and maybe oder & build a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PiDP11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PiDP11</a> or even <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PiDP10" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PiDP10</a> kit. 🙈🤓 Have a great Sunday! ☀️

Stefan Wolfrum :mastodon:<a href="https://social.tchncs.de/@rzbrk" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@rzbrk</a> After I finished my <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PiDP8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PiDP8</a> kit a few weeks ago now I‘m tempted to order the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PiDP11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PiDP11</a> kit! 🙈🤓 Or even the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PiDP10" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PiDP10</a> kit?! 😳 But they’re not cheap and shipping costs are crazy, too!

Stefan Wolfrum :mastodon:<a href="https://social.tchncs.de/@rzbrk" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@rzbrk</a> Mein Informatik LK Lehrer (damals, Mitte der 80er) war der Knaller und wir hatten sowohl eine PDP 8/e, als auch eine PDP 11/23 in der Schule! 🤩 Damals war ich allerdings eher auf dem Turbo Pascal Trip (BGI Treiber für EGA Grafik! 😂) und konnte mit diesen geschichtsträchtigen Maschinen von <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DEC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DEC</a> nicht viel anfangen. 🤷‍♂️ Würde er noch leben, hätte er *sicher* auch eine <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PiDP8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PiDP8</a> und/oder <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PiDP11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PiDP11</a> zuhause! <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/computerhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#computerhistory</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/digital" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#digital</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pdp8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pdp8</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pdp8e" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pdp8e</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pdp11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pdp11</a>

Stefan Wolfrum :mastodon:<a href="https://social.tchncs.de/@rzbrk" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@rzbrk</a> Yeah! 🤩 I‘d say „welcome to the club“ but I was late to the party and built my own <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PiDP8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PiDP8</a> kit just a few weeks ago. Love programming it via the front switches in octal machine code! 🤓 The 3D printed stand (designed by Dan Novak) can be downloaded from my account at <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MakerWorld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MakerWorld</a> here 👉 <a href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/561418#profileId-480815" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://makerworld.com/en/models/561418#profileId-480815</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/3dprinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#3dprinting</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pdp8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pdp8</a>

Stefan Wolfrum :mastodon:<a href="https://social.tchncs.de/@rzbrk" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@rzbrk</a> No glue necessary, I just inserted the palm rest bar into the side pieces. Uploaded the model here: <a href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/561418#profileId-480815" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://makerworld.com/en/models/561418#profileId-480815</a> Do you own a PiDP-8, too? <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/3dprinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#3dprinting</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/electronic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#electronic</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pdp8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pdp8</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pidp8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pidp8</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bambulab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bambulab</a>

Stefan Wolfrum :mastodon:Best moments when two hobbies come together. Here I added a 3D printed, very solid stand to my self-assembled PiDP-8 replica of a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PDP8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PDP8</a>. The hand rest barely fit diagonally onto the print bed, phew! Together with four silicone bumpers the whole thing doesn’t move a bit on the desk. 👌 <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/3dprinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#3dprinting</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/computerhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#computerhistory</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/decpdp8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#decpdp8</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/digitalpdp8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#digitalpdp8</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bambulab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bambulab</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/x1carbon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#x1carbon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PiDP8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PiDP8</a>

Stefan Wolfrum :mastodon:Almost finished the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PiDP8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PiDP8</a> kit today! Loads of soldering! Just one bad LED had to be fixed by replacing it. It works pretty well and it’s awesome! The <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RaspberryPiZero2W" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RaspberryPiZero2W</a> does all the emulation. Can’t wait to write programs via the front switches – and play SpaceWar! later on.

Stefan Wolfrum :mastodon:Over a week ago I received my happily expected <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PiDP8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PiDP8</a> kit – but haven’t found the time yet to solder and assemble it! 🙈 The <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RaspberryPi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RaspberryPi</a> Zero 2, however, already runs the emulator. 😊 That’s a LOAD of LEDs to solder accurately. 😅 <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/decpdp8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#decpdp8</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pdp8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pdp8</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#electronics</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/computerhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#computerhistory</a>

Stewart RussellOne day down, maybe two more days to go on a <a href="https://xoxo.zone/tags/PDP8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PDP8</a> numerical simulation run. So far, its accuracy is pretty close to modern IEEE double precision.I'm so glad that the <a href="https://xoxo.zone/tags/PiDP8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PiDP8</a> runs roughly 23× faster than the real thing. I'd have had to budget nearly 10 weeks (at roughly 750 W) on real DEC hardware.<a href="https://xoxo.zone/tags/fortran" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fortran</a>

🕹️ retroCombs 🇺🇲I’m super excited today and have @slofunk@twitter.com to thank. Jamie made me aware of this sweet kit:<a href="https://obsolescence.wixsite.com/obsolescence/pidp-8-get-one" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://obsolescence.wixsite.com/obsolescence/pidp-8-get-one</a>He and I were both able to snag a kit from the next batch. Thanks to my supporters, the cost to entry was very low. Thanks to all of you! More to come. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PiDP8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PiDP8</a>
