Not sure how much of a score it is but I'm now the

was described as a fully functioning pdp11/03. This would be my
first pdp unit
Cards installed are:
Cards are:
M8059KJ
M8186
M8639
M8028
That's a PDP-11/23, not a PDP-11/03. The M8186 is a KDF11
processor module.
In other words: SCORE!
I've done the obvious thing on bitsavers but whats
a good place to
start exploring with this unit? There's no drives or console with
it although there is a large ribbon cable attached to the M8639
card. It also has a serial cable so one MIGHT be able to connect a
console to it.
That's an RQDX1 disc controller board. Pretty limited actually.
Was there anything on the other end of the ribbon cable?
Never had access to anything like this so it's all
new.. The goal
obviously is to assemble a complete system.
You are close...we just need to find you some sort of disk
subsystem. What kind of chassis do you have? Look for a number
starting with "BA" (BA11-xx, BA23, etc). Or take a pic and I'll ID
it for you.
