[rescue] [geeks] PiDP-10 just published!?!?

[John Francini]

I bought a copy.  I have a PiDP-10 kit and a PiDP-11 kit still waiting to be assembled. I did indeed build a PiDP-8 kit already.

I wish the -8 kit was of the PDP-8/e rather than the -8/i, but I can't be choosy.

Thanks and regards,

John
