Sorry for opening a conversation about an out of scope topic... but there's no PiDP-1 group (yet?) and Oscar used this... or was it the PiDP-11 group, to talk about the PiDP-10 ;)

So... is there a target cost for the kit? Whats with the tape reader on the top of https://obsolescence.dev/pidp1.html?

Thanks,

Randy "Surly"Merkel

Huh.  Now that would be a fascinating build.. esp if someone can scrounge up a pcb layout for building it from transistors.

Update on what I've found so far:
  • The above link has been updated with some info about the completed prototypes; the full and "hacker" version. Sadly no paper tape reader ;)
  • I also found a Hackaday.io project @ https://hackaday.io/project/202541-replica-of-the-pdp-1-pidp-1 with more information on the kits and an interesting log.
  • So far, no sign of a pidp-1 google group.
