[lug] [OT!] Help with rsx/DEC

[Ken Weinert]

This might be a dumb question, but have you tried the -8 option to
telnet to establish an 8-bit data path?

And, a bit off topic - when I was at Kent there was a person there who
built his own machine that was all based on 7400 series logic and it
had a 128bit wide bus. His PDP-11 emulator ran faster than the actual
PDP-11 did :)

There were racks and racks of wire-wrapped logic chips - amazing thing to see.
