I've just seen a posting pointing to this project: https://github.com/openscopeproject/InteractiveHtmlBom Looks like it could be very useful. IIRC the Analog V2 boards I built for my Apple IIe had interactive HTML BoMs and it was just brilliant, both for ordering/tracking parts and also during the ...

I just love Cool Retro Terminal:


This mode has an awesome Fallout vibe

A new challenger comes: https://www.ebay.com/itm/235533248834 It's not even an A5000 keyboard... And the same one from the same guy for a normal price, but for Risc PC now: https://www.ebay.com/itm/235533237632 :lol: Ouch, not many folks will be buying that then. Your 2nd link didn't seem to work B...

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

More progress made, the rest of the parts are installed including the RPi and the switches, though the switches need to have the soldering completed.

Some progress today, a bit behind where I wanted to be on account of jobs needing doing in the garden, I'll I'll keep pressing on.
