Now you just need to connect each of them up via their serial ports as a chain and then get the OSI to uploads a program to the first machine which sends a program to the next machine in a chain and then sends a result of a calculation to a line printer. ;-)

Haha, yes, that'd be cool!

Well, I have set up SSH for the Pi that's running the show, and I can get what is effectively a serial terminal view of the PDP :)

And what would a PDP be without Space War:

Though I have yet to figure out just how I can view the game itself :)

I know, it is super cool and retro!! I just love the colour scheme, it's so 'of the time'.
The people who make it also do the PDP 11/70 and PDP 10 as RPi based replicas, and whilst I need to save some cash up before I bite the bullet, I may get at least one more. The PDP-10 is an epic machine!

If I can get to a Cyber Legends, then I think these three, plus the OSI 600D would definitely be worth bringing.
Does that mean its likely that you will come? (Please see my latest event date post to see the latest proposed dates).

I'll need to know an actual date, just so I can plan ahead. I'd like to, but I need something concrete.
