A little while ago I acquired a Micro PDP 11/73. It contains 2 DEQNA cards
and an Emulex CU02. I am not sure what the CU02 is, but think it is some
kind of disk controller, possibly SCSI, if someone knows what it is and can
point me to a manual let me know.
The automatic boot is setup to boot from the DEQNA cards, however I have no
idea how to set up a boot node and I am not sure what OSs the 11/73
supports. I would be happy to run RSX-11M or RSTS, I have a SIMH emulation
running RSX-11M, so perhaps that can be set up as a boot node? I also have a
VMS boot node, but I have no idea if I can get that to boot a PDP11.
If I have to I could probably make a TK50 or TK70 tape with boot media, and
I probably have the means to get an RQDX3 with a disk installed, unless I
can use the CU02? In the first instance I would like to avoid this route
though because I just want to verify that the machine basically works.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Rob

I'm looking at this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Shugart-model-801-8-Floppy-Drive-/230897115754?pt=U…
and it seems to be very similar to the drives in my Intel MDS box (blue if that matters, and that's all I have of an MDS system). The listing calls it a Shugart 801. I seem to recall Fred stating that a S* 800 was a *good* drive to utilize w/some peecee disk controllers.? Is an 801 also *good*? I e-mailed the seller intending to grill some info out of him.

Personally, I love the idea of having a PET with a TEMPEST rated keyboard
enclosure. *grin* I hope someone here manages to score this thing!

A favourite for replacing 8" drives because as Chuck mentioned it has a
relatively rare 360RPM speed option.

Hi,
we've got a Tektronix 4052 with 4611 printer a couple of weeks ago.
The system is almost working fine, it has an issue with the hard copy
function (i.e. no signal).
I'd like to understand the machine and its "Super-6800" processor and
therefore I'm looking for a copy of the service manual (BTW it's a 4052
and not a 4052A; the firmware level is 4) for both the 4052 and the 4611.
Christian
PS:
I've put the ROM images from our machine on our FTP server:
ftp.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/pub/cm/tektronix/tek4052
The images from the ROM patch ICs, PALs and microcode ROMs will follow
soon.

One more for the pot. The Dick Smith System 80 (aka Video Genie or
PMC-80). This was a clone of the TRS-80 model 1 and my first
computer!

interested.
What strange remark have you had about your collection?
here is mine:
I had my amiga A500 and amiga A1200 setup
with disk/CDs, books, magazines around them
a front cover of a box standing up behind the A1200 that the A1200 came in
the remake from my relative was "you collect keyboards?"
