#0007 has joined the gang in South Harbour, Falkland Islands.
He took a few days to build, including diversions such as mending fences, mixing concrete and moving 20Ft containers!
But most importantly, was getting the DEP switch to go "up" on the PiDP-8, and starting to create the display from a 10" Pimoroni panel. Still a little bit to do - white "eyelids". Also getting 8 switch Caps made for the bottom row, and a bit of carpentery to make wooden Spacewar controller boxes.
Couple of small hiccups - sound is not working, and using USB sticks as paper is not working. How should the usb sticks be formatted, and are there any size limitations that might break things.
Loving the whole gang.
Oscar (and the whole team), thank you. 🙏
