Finally more lights than a pidp-10!

Powered up bays 1&2 today, no smoke.  Bay 3 is in progress and should have all 3 up in the next 2 weeks.

Excellent progress!

BTW: I'm sure you don't need them, but I find I have some KI-10 documents that were scanned - don't know if they'd be of use to you:

  3376 -rw-rw-rw-@  1 jfrancin  staff   1726931 Nov 17  2006 A_Document_On_The_KI10_Apr73.pdf
 26944 -rw-rw-rw-@  1 jfrancin  staff  13794106 Aug 17  2006 KI10 Preliminary Processor Maintenance Manual_1972.pdf
 36912 -rw-rw-rw-@  1 jfrancin  staff  18895268 Apr  7  2001 KI10 ProcMaintMan.pdf
108656 -rw-rw-rw-@  1 jfrancin  staff  55630947 Jun 25  2001 KI10 Schematics.pdf

If you are interested in one or all, I can tar/gzip this up and send it to you. The first one is semi-technical summary written by Dave Braithwaite (TOPS-10/20 software dev manager when I was in the DEC-10 dev group 1986-1990); the rest are exactly what it says 'on the tin'.

Thanks and regards,

John
