Resurrecting a PDP-12 in Duluth

Our PDP-12 came with these options and modules prewired from DEC: EM12/EP12: Basic 4k Memory and PDP-12 Processor MC12: Memory Extension Control TC12: LINCtape Controller KW12A: Real-Time Clock VC12: Graphics/Display Controller KE12: Extended Arithmetic Element ASR33: The ASR33 Teletype. (We don't actually have the physical Teletype) DR12: Relay Buffer DP12-A/B: Teletype Dataphone/Teletype Dataphone EIA voltages Our system was originally wired for 8k of memory. We are still missing a 4k stack. The only other part we were missing was a M216 Flip Chip. We found a lot of Flip Chips on eBay that had a M216 in it.  Michael got me in contact with Vince who, a number of years back, made some TTY cards for PDP-8/I and PDP 8/L machines. One is a baud rate generator (M452X) and the other two are serial interfaces (W076X). These will allow us to use an external terminal with the PDP-12 instead of tracking down an ASR33 Teletype.

Here is a list of the tapes and manuals we have physical copies of. The tape listings are what I read from the labels. It was hard to make out the handwriting on some of them.
