[20060918] DEC pdp8/e moving day

We rented a truck and moved the pdp8/e to its new home. The H960 style cabinets were too tall to wheel under the truck's door, so we had carry the cabinets, into the truck, on their side. Because of the 8's location, in the house, we had to remove all the equipment from the cabinet. This fellow had a wonderful collection of 8s, spare parts, paper tapes and documentation.

I got a VT100 terminal with the Tempest option -- the terminal and keyboard were heavy. And a PDP11 programming card -- I want to finish with my 4.3BSD SIMH project so I can start a PDP11 project.
