Vor einiger Zeit durfte ich diesen Auftrag zeichnen: einen Nerd-Raben vor einem PiDP-10 und einer Fuchskind-Tasse! Vielen lieben Dank an Hanns-Martin uns Jali für diesen wirklich coolen Auftrag! 😊

Cara is correct however owning a replica is totally feasible! The PiDP-11 is awesome and I really need to build my kit that's been sitting here for (garble-garble) months: obsolescence.wixsite.com/obsolescence...

TIL that you can get a PiDP-11, “A faithful scale 6:10 replica of the PDP-11/70, fully compatible.” www.tindie.com/products/obs...
Also, the PiDP-10 and the PiDP-8. That link is to a distributor, not the manufacturer.

With the PiDP-1 coming soon, should I start a PDP-1 assembler course, i.e., a related series of blog posts?
Is there any interest?

Here is a photo of Tony examining the retro minicomputer that @foobly.bsky.social assembled. He has only dealt with modern computer, and of course he's not as into them as Maggie is, but as a consultant he is concerned about having to learn about ancient computers now.

Tonight's project! I've owned this kit for awhile, I actually have the PiDP-11 and the PiDP-10 figure I should complete the trio!
