Mounted a small monitor on top of my PiDP8 for running the Tu56 sim

New member here, I have owned my PiDP8 for a few years.

This morning I mounted a small monitor to the top of my PiDP8 for running the Tu56 sim.

I am not handy enough to build a small rackmount system for this, so just used some small brackets from Amazon to mount it to the top of the Pidp8, works great, I store my BASIC programs I write on a Tu56 image, the Tu56 sim gives a more realistic experience to hear it spin up when I load or save programs to the image.

That is very, very cool - thanks for sharing

I like that. Neat.  I need to look into the Tu56 sim.  Sounds interesting.
