The 8171 Ehsaas Program now offers online registration. You can use the convenient code 8171. This initiative aims to make it easier to access social welfare benefits. They’re for eligible individuals across Pakistan.

8171 Online registration is a new feature. It lets participants sign up for the Benazir Ehsaas Program. They can use their mobile phones. They can do so from anywhere in the country. This approach simplifies processes, abolishing lengthy lines and documentation requirements. It makes enrolling and getting help easier.

To register, individuals need to send their CNIC number to 8171 via SMS. Once registered, they will get a confirmation message. It will have further instructions on how to use the program’s benefits. This streamlined process ensures quick and efficient enrollment without any hassle.

Online registration also enhances transparency and accountability within the Benazir Ehsaas Program. We log registrations digitally to prevent mistakes and fraudulent activity. This digital record allows easy tracking of beneficiaries. It channels assistance to those in genuine distress.

I love it, reminds me of such simpler times.  That’s awesome you found a modern & relevant application for it too. 47 yrs after it rolled off a QC’s test bench it’s still in the game! 

I spent a lot of hours in front of one of those connected to a Honeywell 1648A, in fact, I credit it 50% with my nearsightedness.

This is so cool to see a "Clam Shell" being used this way. It's fantastic. I used to repair some of these from time to time. Awesome job.

...weird to see how many ICs were necessary decades ago. One cup full 74xx for decoding the keyboard, a second cup for the video interface.

Nice project ☺!

The ADM-3A is a beautiful example of industrial design.

I have a couple of WY-55sI been thinking on finding a use for as I only needed one for a CP/M machine I might make something like this.

True. There is a UART for the 232 connection, as well as a video rom for character generation. you're right. But aside from that (: Pure logic in it's logically purest form ;)

Love the look of that terminal! Did you have to re-cap it at all?

Interestingly enough I didn't. I should though -- better safe than sorry. But it works like charm with the old caps. Granted, there aren't that many in it to begin with, only a handful or so, but I really ought to switch them out.

The video does "wobble" a bit, which I imagine is a shaky cap on the CRT drive, but so far it lives with original components.

Hahaha, cool project. That terminal was a classic, now that you remind me of it. You could even charge museum entrance fees of people wanting to see it.  😉

My first experience of the ADM-3A was as a rookie tasked with writing a terminal driver for a PDP 11/03 to handle a cluster of terminals doing data entry replacing more expensive punch card stations.

Thanks a billion (: Yeah the ADM-3 is a really beautiful piece of technology history, built entirely from logic gates (I'll add a picture of the insides. It's gorgeous! Just rows upon rows of logic gates, not processing unit at all).

Though IIRC there is a UART chip.
