Hi,
Thanks to everyone who responded. I'll post a working solution, if I
can produce one, to the list. This isn't intended to close off this
thread but I did want to record my appreciation of the really useful
answers so far.
Of course now I'm lamenting that I didn't save one of the IPXs that
went into the skip so I could run a SunOS 4.1.3 server for the
software!
Cheers,
Nick.

can the kaypro 16/2 be easily upgraded to include a hard drive. If so, what drive would fit in it and does it have a controller on board already.

I'll take it. I have been looking for a real AT...

I have an IBM AT with all original docs and keyboard, in like-new condition from the original owner. It can be yours for the price of shipping. Note that it has an upgrade VGA video card in place of the usual mono or CGA/EGA card, and that it currently will not boot from the hard drive (which is why he finally upgraded to a PC made in the last 20 years). A 14" VGA monitor, IBM ProPrinter, and Okidata 320 printer are also available as part of the bundle. E-mail if you have questions or want the thing. Note that I ship via Mailboxes Etc. so be prepared to pay their packing/shipping rates or arrange to pick it up.

There are several in the wild, including mine. See:
http://www.corestore.org/super.htm
Please note my 'wanted' list: CM front-ends, software, and interface cables.
Also as of today I'm looking for an RH780... my VAX-11/780 showed up and it
hasn't got one :(

Greetings,
I have been playing with my recently acquired PDP11/04 (BA11-L) and restoration has been going quite well (anybody who needs hints on how to convert a H777-CA/115V to a H777-CB/240V, please give me a ping).
The console device is a DL11-W/M7856 which came with a 20mA (orginal console was a TTY), which I don't have. BTW, the bootstrap device is M7312. Therefore, I proceeded to make my own EIA cable from the DL11 manual so that I can use my VT320. I made a standard null modem configuration (BERG-DB25F) and made the necessary 9600/8N1 jumper changes to the DL11-W...
The result is that I can get into the console emulator no problem and get the "@" prompt. But the problem is that the console doesn't seem to recognize any of my inputs; i.e. I can simply type anything and it doesn't response.
I seem to be receiving data fine, but looks like whatever I transmit from my VT the DL11 doesn't seem to grok/respond.
Any clues?
Thanks.

I have a TI model that I think is a tad smaller than
the Qwint.
Ahhh, but the trick is that it's PLAIN PAPER (dot
matrix impact). Qwint sold these printers to VAR's
that found this very useful (filling out multipart
forms, etc). It's cost per page was much lower than
thermal, also.

The AWS95 is a monster, in desktop computer terms. It's got a massive,
cache-accelerated SCSI-II controller eating up the PDS slot, tons of NuBus
and memory slots, includes a DAT drive, and A/UX FLIES on it.
The ANS hardware is interesting, I remember a MacWorld article on them, and
they seem pretty beasty. RAID, redundant, hot-swappable power supplies, LCD
status screen, etc... As far as alternate OSes go, I assume you could get
some version of Linux running on it, and, *of course*:

Out in NY at 8am - so far for almost half an hour now, I can't hit eBay.
It's like it starts to hit the site and fails to load (seems to hang on
load.ebaystatic.com). Anyone else having issues with this? I can hit
anywhere else pretty much fine.
