>Smile, and keep your eyes open for a better system. As has been pointed
out
For 40$ thats not bad but it's incomplete unless the disks are there then
it's
much more.
If you were seriously into PDP11 and shipping it didn't cost a bomb
$40-50
isn't much for spares.

Serial cards are gotten cheap. The M8189 (11/23 and 11/23+ <or B>)
has two serial ports and the equvilent of the M8012 on it, the M8186
does not have anything but basic CPU so you need the M8012
and a serial line card or two. Either CPU can be used in the same
box.
Besides if that is a complete system it's probably in a 4' 19" rack!
With RL01/2, RX01/2 and BA11S or N box that could be stuffed into a 36"
small office rack, likely it's a 40, 48" or larger one.

In fact I remember about 1988, buying a small connector from Jameco. It
had
pins on both sides almost like a wire wrap header. (I seem to me that
…
[View More]the pins
were straight through). One side plugged into the //c floppy port and
the
other side plugged into the ribbon cable from the Apple ][ drive. And
it
cost two or three dollars. I couldn't find it on their web site just
now,
but I was surprised to see that they still sell power supplies for the
Apple ][,][+,][e.

There's a binary V6 system in the PUPS Unix archives that will run on a 11/23
with 64K and attached RL02 drives. I rescued it from a pile at a UBC SERF sale
about 4 years ago.
Note that the "Standard" V6 system doesn't support RL02's; the exact
lineage of this find hasn't been completely …
[View More]researched yet - and it may
never be, as the sources haven't been found.

diagnostic/Boot/terminator card, a must have with M8186
as the CPU has NO boot (it does have microODT).
there is a field guide for PDP11s! Also there is no serial IO
that you have listed. Typically a M8043 (DLV11J 4 port serial)
or a M8017 maybe an old M7940 both similar DLV11 type
single serial ports.

Hello,
Still haven't found a boot disk, and not having a vintage Mac, I can't
download an image from the net either.
Would someone out there who has one be able to make a copy for me? I can
send DSDD disks for the process. The internal drive is 3.5", and I have a
5.25" external as well.
Cute little devil -- just want to play with it a bit.
Kind regards

Anyone know anything about the Proapp 20? It appears to be a
harddrive that works with Apple IIe, IIc, IIgs or a Mac 512 and Mac
Plus. It plugs into either the floppy port or a scsi port. Anyone
have any more info on these?
Thanks.

There's a question - since I can't get to the FAQs ATM can anyone tell me
which Mac monitor I can use with the ][GS? And the ][c+ for that
matter......
