In order to have a portable PDP11, we need a portable data terminal. In the previous episode, we took a bath in rodent feces trying to revive our little ADDS Envoy, which is perfect for this task. But, we didn’t manage to get it up and going. We’re taking another swing at it today, but as is obvious from the title, it didn’t go well. However, it did make some progress!
