If all else fails I can just record a PDP-11/70 front panel with the blinking lights and play it on a loop. I tried OBS Studio and got terrible screen flicker. So I downloaded SimpleScreenRecorder and when I started it, it said… “SimpleScreenRecorder has detected that you are using the proprietary NVIDIA driver with flipping …

Yep!

It’s still hard to see the pin 1 indent on the IC. But I can read the STC I could only make out ST before. I know that pin 1 is next to the S in STC.

I want to. I don’t want to. I have no great desire to trudge through this lengthy verbose procedure. Other than to perhaps add a card reader. The prebuilt RSTS/E V7 basically works for me.

SYSGEN Can I Run $SYSGEN…? Wait…I found a bunch of RSTS kits in /home/bill/MyStuff/Computer_Simulator_Emulator/Emulators/Mini/simh/PDP-11/RSTS [downloads]/RSTS.ORG/

Mo money…mo money. These aren’t great sums. Still…probably most of this I won’t use many times again. On the other hand if I could build a PiDP-11/70 without too many issues then I may try other kits. Especially the PiDP-8/I. Maybe PiDP-10? Even if I never try a PiDP…soldering would be still be interesting to …
