Usagi Electric | This Data Terminal was Covered in Poop! @UsagiElectric | Uploaded February 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
We’re still plugging away at our portable PDP-11, and in the last episode we made excellent progress in getting the PDP-11/23 itself up and running. But, a portable PDP is pointless unless we have a portable data terminal to go with it. Enter the ADDS Envoy. This is an awesome little RS-232 capable data terminal that will make the perfect companion for our PDP-11. The only downside is, it’s in rough shape. Or at least, one of them is, it just takes me way too long to figure that out. What am I on about? Well, watch the video and see!
