  6. Found at #ikea. This would make a very nice front panel for a #minicomputer if you replace the glass. The glass showcase or rather a few may make nice cases. The sides are wire mesh so you could get away without active cooling. More boards and cable channels would need to be improvised. Wish I'd know someone close to help be with the electronics -.-

    I have no idea if they are available in the US but i bet the
    #minidragon would look awesome in this when finished.

  7. Ah, yes, the DECmate II, the "little PDP-8 that could"—more like "the little PDP-8 that barely could but we talk about it incessantly anyway." 🚢🔍 Who knew turning a #minicomputer into a desktop would lead to more articles than sales? 📉💾

  12. 👴🔧 Ah, the thrill of dissecting a 40-year-old computer from the Stone Age of technology! 🤓🔍 Because, you know, we've all been dying to understand a French-built #minicomputer that couldn't be bothered with a microprocessor. Truly, the pinnacle of scientific inquiry: what did the ancient astronauts do without TikTok? 🎢🚀

  22. Spent some time this monday preparing the machine including installing 2.11BSD to the M2322 hard drive, as my DIY disk emulator showed some reliability issues at #why2025 . I'm still in the process of applying the latest updates to the system, as rebuilding kernels and part of the userland on a 1MB RAM, less than 1 MIPS system takes a fair bit of time.

    Once I'm done updating the system, it will be at patch level 499 - the latest available for #211bsd , released on January 14th 2026!

    If you want to play around with this system, visit the open day at RevSpace The Hague next saturday:
    revspace.nl/OpenDag2026

    I will be attaching a few physical terminals to it (including a VT55 and VT100!) as well as allowing telnet from the local network.

    Besides this, if you do visit and want to trade PDP-11 parts, I have a large collection of mostly QBUS cards that I want to part with, and am looking for PDP-11/84 (PMI) and PDP-11/44 (EUB) memory boards as well as spare CPU cards for the /44.
