For those who saw this item:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/183639487495
but didn't know what it went to (Web searches for "5409818" and "5009817"
didn't turn up anything useful for me), it turns out to be a "Configuration
2" backplane for a PDP-11/05-/10:

with slots for one MM11-L memory unit, and 4 SPC slots.

Yeah, me - although I didn't expect to! Because of my work on DEC indicator
panels (this one's a 10-1/2" panel, unusual):
http://ana-3.lcs.mit.edu/~jnc/tech/DECIndicatorPanels.html
I put in what seemed to me a lowish bid, expecting not to get it (I figured
I'd make do with the image from the sale), and was rather surprised that I got
it.
I don't have an RF08, of course, so if anyone actually has an RF08, I'll
happily do a deal to get it to you.

Yeah, for the QSIC indicator panels, we built totally new ones, too. We
took advantage of that to change the interface; the DEC originals have a
wire per light, which is kind of klunky. Ours time-multiplexes a single
data line (there are 'clock' and 'latch' lines too); visually, it seems
to look identical to the DEC originals in operation.

Anyone happen to have the Artsearch software for Microvax? It's my
understanding the the software drove a laserdisc player. A friend has the
laserdiscs but not the software.

So they are! Oops. Sorry!
Maybe they had a rush of orders, and it's not entirely my fault?
Or maybe the 89c price was a typo, and my order alerted them?
They confirmed my order. Fingers crossed they actually ship them, and it doesn't
turn into an argument about honoring transactions. Though probably, a higher postage
cost would be fair. 88 floppies and covers will weigh a bit. (Should have bought 100.)

COM1147 22 $0.89 $19.58
Subtotal: $19.58

That's an easily altered market. I am a lovely butterfly, fear my flapping wings!

Hi all - Gatwick Airport was closed for many hours. Without getting into
all of the details it became impossible to make it to the museum during my
layover. As it was everything had to be perfect. I went to London for a
few hours instead.
My goal was to see the Elliot 803 at the computer museum in Bletchley so I
could learn more about how it worked, I found some code written for the
802, which would work on the 803, and I thought it might be worth the
experience to see or maybe even operate the actual machine. There is no
simH that I know of for the 802/803 but I have read some attempts at it. I
realize I could not see the whole museum and would be rushed, but given I
was only in London for an extended 17-hour layover, why not try? Peter
Onion Elliott 803 Team leader was going to meet me.
Thanks everyone for their feedback. I am going to try to visit next spring
for a longer period so I can take my time. I also would like by then to
try the same technique I used for the LGP-30 to get that running on simH,
applied to the Elliot 803. I'd have to get my head back into that
project. Complicated.

I'm currently working on emulating the 4D/20 in MAME, and looking for anyone who might have actual hardware, software or documents that might help.
Right now, most useful would be some high resolution images of the system boards, especially the GR1 graphics boards, or even schematics if they're out there.
Appreciate any information or input at all.

The right question is : Does theses worth $ 600 as gold scrap ??
Certainly NOT, so ..... This is "If you want that scrap, you pay a
premium ".
A premium for what ? ( or for who ) ??
