Re: [amsat-bb] old computers for satellite tracking

[declark <mdpssdc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

	Gentlemen,
		This antique has retired.	
        I collected an old PDP-8  12 bit 4K Core store and it is in  the
garage.Not working 
	but a scope would soon fix it.It was similar to my first Departmental
Machine.In 1964,it was the first 
	machine to sell for under $10,000.This is not my departmental machine
which had an 12 bit ADC
	As a medic I had to teach myself all about the hardware, software and
maintain it.
		It was tough for a medic.
	     	It was surprising what you learnt to do with small machines. I
have only been interested in 
	Space and Satellites since 1952.
