Prepping to go

A few hours of work left (less if I can sneak away) and I’m off to West Lafayette, IN again for VCF Midwest. Won’t be showing any gear this time – no time to prep and I wasn’t even sure I was going until yesterday. But photos and reports from the scene will be filed!

And here it is

Dec half-rack containing Micro PDP-11/73 and TS05 tape drive. On top is a bonus: a DEC VT05 terminal, about 15 years older than the equipment below it. I’m afraid to turn it on, lest it smoke and never live again. The PDP I hope to test out later today.
