Notes on the PDP-6 indicator lights

Photos of the remains of the PDP-6 of the University of Western Australia, now at LCM in Seattle.

Photos of all PDP-10s at LCM.

The KI10 is one processor of a dual processsor configuration that originally ran in Kiel.

The KA10 operator console comes from a DEC museum in Australia.

The lone KA10 front panel belonged to Mark Crispin and before that to the KA10 at Stanford.

The KS10 next to the TOAD-1 is MIT-AI.

I gave a talk at Update in 2018 about the PDP-6 (slides).

I gave a talk at Update in 2019 about the Whirlwind I, MTC, TX-0, PDP-1, -4, -5 and -6. (slides and diagrams). (Video recording will be up as well eventually)

Projects

The Knight TV system resurrected

I'm working on a PDP-6 and PDP-10 (KA10) emulator and FPGA implementation

Read about our project to make a PDP-6 front panel replica here. (NOTE: this project has been dormant for over a year)

tenth is simple forth for the PDP-10 (my first project for the PDP-10)
