Compare that to the thousands of PDP-8's and Tens
of thousands of PDP-11's.
Ben.
That's low.
Even for two years ago.
Well, too high for me, anyway. I was just starting the business back
then, and could not spend anything near that money.
Just an observation - this does show how DECcentric this list (and
really, most of the big iron retrocomputing folks) is. There have been a
few things pop up like this, on Ebay and elsewhere, but because they were
not from Digital, little attention was given to them. Huge demand
outweighs the supply side. I suppose (PDP-12s actually are not all THAT
rare).
