A quick look through my history box (Gordon writes) yielded, on paper:
sources for all my Vax networking stuff
EMAS and EMAS 2900 reference cards
ISYS system documentation
Received by GT for scanning
HAL 7502 manual, and 7502 "OS" software (Hamish also has a paper listing of some of this, not all)
Received by GT for scanning. This also included the PDP-9 emulator source! The manual includes a definition of the instruction set. Although ECCE is still missing for this machine, we do have enough code for it now that we have a good chance of getting it running under emulation.
ISYS 80 manual, Filestore manual and HAL 70 manual
Received by GT for scanning. This includes several code fragments plus a full HAL header file with the pre-defined SVC calls for ISYS. The Filestore Manual is the October 1977 version (we have a later version online) and is sufficiently complete that I think we will be able to knock up a functional clone of the filestore for use with both a 7502 and a Legos emulator.
ECSD LISP manual (Nick Shelness) We've found that online in the EMAS archives -- Graham
Noddy Goes to the Machine Halls (Kathy, 78/79)
Received by GT for scanning
Sticks & Stones manual (Luca)
my CS4 operating system
DEIMOS PDP-11 OS (by Brian Gilmore - now Director of EUCS) We've actually found the full DEIMOS sources in the EMAS archives -- Graham
ISYS 70 source
Actually its the LEGOS source - PMM forgot to remove the comment at the top, since this was developed from the original ISYS source. We don't have an ISYS source yet but this is pretty close. I don't see any problems assembling this with HAL70. We ought to be able to get this syste working under emulation.
PDP-9/15 source
a few bits of EMAS 2900
I've marked in bold the items that are high priority for scanning. Gordon brought this box of papers over from Scotland and they are currently in his lockup in California. I try every few months to pry them loose from him -- Graham
