Why not sell the board you bought to Peter? Or sell him the

Well darn! I forgot I don't have the KEF11-A
chip installed so Fortran
programs don't run on my 11/23-PLUS.
I have seen one for sale but it is rather expensive at almost $400.....
Guess I'll have to keep an eye out.
I'll give the tapedup code a try on my PiDP-11 instead.

This feels a little like grave robbing to suggest, but there is a
seller on Ebay that has KDF11-BB (I assume) M8186 boards with floating
point chips for $100. You could get one and transfer the chip to your
M8189 - I think they are the same FP chip.
I just bought one, not for the FP chip (my M8189 has the KEF-11 chip),
but my VT103 needs a nice processor.
