So, right. Here's the whole post mortem on this.
That's a recap of the entire successful conversation. Links to the board pics, and the UNIVAC manuals and such are in the conversation. Hence, "I'm good".
Thanks!
It seems polite to respond to your detailed response to my "where's the core" message. Your responses were informative, thank you. As you responded, your Web pages on WordPress are for other purposes than for showing items for further discussion or to solicit inquiries. Your response explains itself and needs no elaborations on my part. Otherwise: you posted in this list to get some info: you got some info and assistance: job done. But at some point you literally posted "Any recommendations on where else to look?" and that is what I responded to. If I posted after your request was satisfied, that was simply a circumstance. My post also explained itself and needs no elaboration. You and I, simply put content on the Web in different ways for different purposes. I'll be thoughtful about your use, you suggested you'll be thoughtful about my suggested use. Those are considerations outside the immediate topic which you have already concluded. Doug, you asked me if I liked your site, if I would read a few of your pages on WordPress. Well, I did. They are good presentations about how you've designed various microprocessor-based projects, small and large. There's a general display of your vintage collection. These are all well-crafted pages with visual and textual content. WordPress sites have a commonality to them that makes them hard for me to compare to other Web sites. The "adventures in ROV" page, is a pretty detailed presentation of the methodology of students and mentors to create a toy-class small ROV from Arduino technology and various toy-class parts. I only say "toy" because you've also done commercial class development work. As an engineer myself, I'm informed by your presentations of design process. Doug, you are welcome to wander around my Web domain retrotechnology.com, for any information and considerations of use or result you can glean from them. There's an open question from Doug, about whether Web search "finds" the discussions here in this email list. I don't know, I search a lot and don't recall "finds" from this list. But technical content in this somewhat-private email list is limited. So I speculate there aren't often enough keyboards to trigger a high-value "search hit". It's also possible, that the hosting site "tells" search engines not to search the email archives. Those are administrative matters I have no knowledge about. But as Doug suggests: the email list is for specific purposes, if it doesn't do other things there are other venues which do. Thanks and regards, Herb Johnson -- Herbert R.
