It looks like you already uploaded it to Manx:
https://manx-docs.org/collections/antonio/dec/standards/el-00012-00-0000.pdf
Looking though that led me to DEC STD 012-2 "Unified Numbering Code for Part
Identifier Class Codes":
https://manx-docs.org/collections/antonio/dec/standards/el-00012-02-0000.pdf
which was exactly what I wanted. It's not the thing I remembered, but as DEC's
official list, in some ways it's better (although it's so detailed it's kind
of overkill :-)!

Thanks everone! Much appreciated!

Hi,
I modified vtserver to work on pdp11/34 and similar - the older machines
that have the
000000 000000 000000 000000
@
odt prompt.
I'm afraid I didn't do a very thorough job (hack night and just wanted to
get it working) and in retrospect I wish I would've made a conditional
argument to put it in this mode. Perhaps we should collaborate on adding
this properly and adding other desirable features like compression for
incoming "all zero" blocks when pulling images in from real hardware, etc.
It's here if you'd like to use it:
https://github.com/jritorto/vtserver
You can run it with ./a.out -odt to facilitate its talking to the pdp at
power-on and loading its initial boot sequence via odt in octal. You have
to run the primary bootstrap with L 140000 and S <return> because I botched
the parsing a bit in my rush to get things going.
thx

Well, after waiting almost a month for the USPS to deliver a "Priority
Mail 1 day" package from Dave I now have the MFM reader card. So I
started working on these disks I rescued. First up was a ST506 (labelled
"RD50" by DEC) and a pair of ST412's.
Bad news: No drives spun up
Good news: You can take the controller board off the drives and spin the
spindles by hand.
Better news: The spindles spun (clockwise, viewed from bottom)
Best news: spinning while powering on got all three to spin up.
So far I imaged the RD50 (possibly a Rainbow or a Pro/350) and one of
the ST412's. It came up as a PERQ_T2 format and I have two dumps of the
disk with only one bad sector reported.
Anyone know what to do with this kind of image? I've powered down the
drives and will store them till I can figure out how to make them run
more quietly....

Hey all --
A straight TI 980 (not one of the later 980A or 980B variants) appeared on
my doorstep this afternoon. While well-shipped, the person I got it from
decided to ship the boards and power supply separately from the chassis --
and unfortunately didn't document where anything goes.
There is precious little information out there about the original 980 --
anyone sitting on any documentation? Anyone know someone who has one?
(Anyone have any spare parts? The core memory boards & chassis are labeled
well enough for me to see that I'm missing one of the "DA" boards...)
Thanks,
Josh
Anyone recognize this card:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/313323417718
I looked, and it doesn't seem to be any of those for a PDP-11. However, I
see the DRAM array is 12x4 chips, which makes me think it might be for a
PDP-8?

Hi all,
Does anybody here know what "8041 Error: did not respond to 0AAH
command" might mean?

Chris,
I could use one. I have an h-11 system that has issues with the h-27 system.
Please contact me off list.

I have one, and if someone needs to to complete their collection I'd
rather it goes there. If you just want to put it on Ebay pls don't
bother as I can do that but if you really need one let me know.

Did you need my address Chris?? Thanks Ed#

While I have always wanted the H-11 and the H-8 I can honestly say
I was never impressed or interested in the H-89.
