A team of volunteers have been working to restore a PDP-11/70 for the past five years. This machine came from the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) in the UK, and ran a system called Scrapbook . This was used for storing information, word processing and electronic communication. It also featured hyperlinks, which later came to be used in the World Wide Web. • The machine is now up and running, and work is progressing to repair a second RM03 disk drive. Once that has been done, it is hoped to mount the original Scrapbook disks. • Sean Allison takes you on a tour of the PDP-11/70, powers up the machine and loads some diagnostic tools. The restoration team then discuss the technology used in the PDP-11/70, and challenges faced getting the machine running. • Chapters: • 00:00 Machine Tour • 02:29 Powering up and booting the operating system • 07:30 Running test programs • 09:09 Meet the restoration team - interviews • Recorded February 2022.
