วีดีโอ

great ! I Love the "IMSAI - ALTAIR " like computers since my teens years when I watched WARGAMES...

PiDP-8 and PiDP-11 happily running on my wall, and the PiDP-10 being soldered up on the test bench. Waiting for my RPi-5 to finish it.

I just want the case and buttons

dsx86 win would.

Go, Oscar!

I think this is the one. The pdp11 is fun, but the pdp10 is a Serious Computer. For _Serious Fun_.

*WE* admire your dedication, amazing attention to detail, and your hard work creating these amazing replicas! THANK YOU!!!

FWIW: It might be nice to have a URL to the web site to read more in the description.

Sure sounds like text to speech yet again.

Great work on the machines, but please, please find a human being to read the script. The synthetic narration lets the whole thing down.

Really fun demo. Thanks!

TAKE MY F$$KING MONEY!!!!!!!!!

Your obsolesence link doesn't work.

This is a great demo. Thanks so much for sharing this. Exciting stuff.

awesome work Oscar!! 🤩

I absolutely HATE these synthetic voices, but I appreciate the PiDP-10. Looking forward to getting one. Watching the rest of the video on Mute.

Oscar, you are exceeding expectations again! Love your PiDP-8 and PiDP-11 and eagerly waiting for this new PiDP-10.

Nice!

That looks great, Oscar! I'll come back and watch it again after I get and build a PiDP-10 kit. It's very helpful to be able to watch over the shoulder of someone when they start up a system and work with it.

Looking forward to adding one of these to my pidp8 and pidp11. Great demo video.

Oh... I can't wait!!! Great job, as usual, Oscar!

Cool!! Congrats !🎉

I too have the PIDP8 and PIDP11. When things have 'settled' (out of beta) I will order one of these. I love using them.

Happy to have one on the way! Well done team!

I'm a happy owner of the pidp8 and pidp11. Thank you Oscar for the amazing work. Looking forward to getting the new kit!

Wow, can't wait!!!

That's really cool !!! Thanks for sharing.

That's really cool !!! Thanks for sharing.

Brings back memories.

Looks great :) I will order. PDP-1 would be great to being able to run Spacewar.

Hello I'm building a Kim one, congratulations!! Is there a way to load it a Tiny Basic???

Thanks for the nice project. I ordered the PCB from jlcpcb with your gerber provided. I'd like to know what's the size of the 4 digit 7 segment display.....was it 2.8" or 3.6"?

This video subtitles and automatic translation cannot be used. please make it available

Anyone else thinking of using a thermal printer and CCD reader to emulate paper tape using real paper? Or full logic cassette mechanisms to get the "tape experience" somehow?

Thanks! I requested that and here it is!

I know it's a tough question but just roughly do you know if/when you would sell them and approx cost? Even if I just had the case I would be happy!! I'd house a Raspberry Pi inside it and use ZIL (a LISP variant) to write Zork style games. 😎

I didn't know the kim1 supported i2c components. Heh

Hi Oscar! I've just build KIM UNO but with a custom hardware - 16x2 LCD shield with 6 buttons including arduino reset and 4x4 keys keypad to input 6502 machine codes. I'm using Arduino Nano istead of pro mini and all the ROMs work like a charm! I've changed your code to source keypresses from my custom keypad and output data to LCD screen instead of 7-segments LEDs. So far so good but I have a question: How can I expand the firmware to support 8 user defined character for LCD, manipulate LCD cursor and actually print to LCD just like to serial port? In my previous project I just hardcoded OUT instruction to my imaginary CPU to deal with output, but here I can't do so because that wouldn't be compatible with the original 6502 any more, so should I uses memory addressed for this purpose and if so then which addresses I can use? THANKS IN ADVANCE! P.S. I made a video on my assembly demo and gave a credit to your project! Thanks for creating my dream computer!

wgat is running on the console? RSTS/E?

Oh my god... I need one of these so bad!

Hello, I am French and I would like to thank you for your sharing, I have just made this replica of the Kim-1 but I cannot move a program from 400 to 200. You have to use movid but I do not understand the sequence to type. Could you help me ?

Can I get me a margin panel?

This looks closer to the PDP-15 Panel. I would love to see a kit for that.

If you're going to do this, I would suggest doing a KI-10 --- it was a more capable machine; and also, in those days, pretty much nobody except service folks used the console lights / switches. In that sense alone, tho, I'm not sure it makes sense to do a works-like look-alike for the PDP-10-- it wasn't really a 'personal' machine. Perhaps a PiDP-1 ? Because that machine runs the original Spacewar! which many consider the first true computer graphics-based game. And a guy has already done an FPGA that does the pdp-1 instruction set. (Although SIMH is fine, too.)

I'm on the list - can't wait! :)

The 'hard way'?!? LOL. When I was in high school, 1970s, I got the task often of reloading FOCAL into the school's PDP 8/L, when others powered it down without stopping it properly. The teacher would ambush me in the hallway on my way out at the end of the day to ask me me if I would stay and fix it (even as a freshman I knew more already about it than she did). I actually had basically memorized the octal codes for the RIM loader, entered by hand via the switches. I then loaded the rest, BIN loader and FOCAL, from paper tape via a teletype machine. Clunk, clunk, I still remember those teletype and paper tape reader noises. When you loaded FOCAL in seconds from the USB, I just laughed. You said it's done, and I was "you mean you didn't have to wait for forty minutes for the tape to be read to see if it loaded properly?" I also once programmed a PDP 8/S (that was no longer often used) to cycle the accumulator register lights like in your demo at one point, via machine code. I originally toggled that into memory by hand too. I thought of it as lobotomizing the PDP, because once that was loaded and run, it was not much good for anything else until it was restarted. You do bring back memories. ;)

Can you configure this to have 2K of RAM (like the VIP) so you can use CHIP-8?

Very, very cool idea.

High water mark
