Well! That is a horse of a differant colour!
I will be glad to let you do the work instead of me and I will be glad
compile it and run it and submit bug reports etc. This is work worth
doing IMHO.
I also have a long neglected plan to port the heirloom troff/nroff code
over to VMS just because I am too lazy to switch to Digital Standard Runoff.
No matter what the platform, of all the image viewers/editors out there,
XV is the viewer I love the best!!!!!!

I posted for sale last week a "LSI 11" system which I've since had help
properly identifying as an 11/03. I never called it an 11/34 but my
photobin indicated it was, and some people were confused, so my apologies.
The updated information is in the replies to the original ad (link below),
along with photos of the whole unit, which I neglected to include
originally:
http://www.vcfed.org/forum/showthread.php?57667-LLNL-LSI-11-Homebrew-system
Also, I have decided upon a $200 asking price, or your best offer.
I will also be replying to those who have already contacted me about this
system.
Thanks!

Yes, I am. My Alphaserver 4100 is down at the moment since I had to move
it and it has been waiting four months for me to put it back together.
XV works fine with VMS and there are a bunch of patches to get some more
recent formats running on it but I could not resolve all the dependancies
when I last tried to compile them in. I am now retired so maybe I will find
the time to get all that software glued together.

I have already learned that in only four months.

Contact me off list if you're looking for an RX01 drive. Will ship
worldwide. Roughly 60 lbs in a 24x24x20 box so you can calc shipping
yourself.
I have one drive on Ebay now (SN 11-10407
<http://vintagecomputer.net/temp/rx01_11-10407_front.jpg>), looking to see
what the market price / discount price would be for these. Condition is
"serviceable" I don't have the controllers to test. ESR test of power caps
was good. I would trade two drives for one working controller (UNIBUS).
