On my way home from MARCH's computer museum I took home two 11/05's for inspection.
More on this later, but I was able to get one of them to read and write memory from the front panel, the other I was also able to get funcitonal aside from a stuck 7th bit in the 4K Core memory card. UPDATE: THe system with the bad core does not respond to any front panel input, the "working" system today would not power off when switching the key to the off position. Reply |
