Anyone running Deeper Thought (2) on their PiDP-8? I have both "deeper" and pidp8 on the same box. Problem is, it's hard to cleanly switch from one to the other. Anyone have a process for this. When I run systemctl to manage these do I need to reboot multiple times? Etc. Example - I had deeper running just fine, loads and runs when the system boots. Deeper is not compatible with pidp8, you can't run them at the same time. [tech explanation here]. So, if I want to switch over I have to completely halt one or the other and update init.d, there are a bunch of considerations. I am a much better Windows OS person than Debian, anyone tackle this already and can share how to change over which of the two will load on boot cleanly? What info would I have to supply? I am running Debian Jessie. Thanks BIll

I haven't gotten that far but I'm confident that we can some up with something that would use the switches on the front panel to allow you to boot the Pi into one or the other. :-) As a Unix person I find it offensive (tongue-in cheek) that we have to reboot at all! I really need to work on that Solar power for my PiDP-8.

For the solar, get one of those solar-USB battery packs. While not sure how long how well they charge while also powering a device. But going solar for it would require it to have access to direct sunlight, which also would heat up the inside of the case On Tuesday, January 3, 2017, Neil Cherry via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:

I was joking (not sure if you are too but ... ). Cool! The first water cooled PDP-8 or PiDP8 ? ;-) PS: I actually will be playing with Solar at a later date. I have 2 small panels I'm hoping I can setup at IXR. But that's another day. -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry ncherry@linuxha.com http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog Author of: Linux Smart Homes For Dummies
