> KE11-A Field Maintenance Print Set

Speaking of KE11-A's, does anyone know what's behind the bidding wars on
recent eBay KE11-A component board listings, e.g.:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/372685033144
AFAIK, the boards (a complete set is an M7210, M7211, M827, and two M234's)
are pretty useless without the custom backplane, so do some people have such,
or do they not know they need the backplane, or what?
I do have a couple of BB11's (they came in an old custom interface I bought),
and the KE11-A FMPS includes the backplane wiring, so if I were interested
enough to devote the time to wiring a replacement backplane, I could probably
get one running, but they aren't _that_ interesting...

I was one of the bidders. I have a KE11 backplane and it is populated. I just wanted some spare boards. You don't see these boards that often.
I am hoping that a backplane would appear too. The seller seems to have some early pdp11 backplanes.

Hi Jim,
Do you still have any systems and/or peripherals left? I'm looking
for a PDP-11/34 Model A or C (Preferably C) with the Octal Programmers
Console and Digital Display along with peripherals. Please let me know
what you have. Would you be willing to accept monthly payments
because I'm a disabled vet and get paid within the first week of each
month? I have a pickup truck and I'm coming from the Cleburne, TX
area. Would be willing to meet you half way. Looking forward to your
reply.
Most sincere and all the best,
Scott

Oh, speaking of KE11-B's, does anyone have either the Technical or User's manual
for it (I couldn't locate either)?
It appears to be a program-compatible re-implementation of the KE11-A, on a
single hex board, but it'd be nice to confirm that, and find out more about
it. E.g. does it go in a MUD slot? (Yes, with the prints, I could eventually
work out the answers to most questions - the prints do contain the PROM
contents - but I'm lazy... :-)

This is listed under the informative title "vintage computer":

which leads me to post it here under a more informative title, hoping that
someone here has a soft spot for Primes!
