Subject: Anyone interested in tons of various PDP-11/780 and 785 boards
I know of a metal scrapper in VA that has tons of
PDP(/VAX)-11/780
and 11/785 in his yard. With them are lots of other boxes(CDC, IBM,
Intergraph, etc.).
The PDP-11/78x's are packed with boards, all the way across. A
fellow that was with me, when I checked them out, used to work for
Intergraph(when they used PDP-11 and VAX) said that they all had 32MB of
RAM.
My question here lies with the acquisition of them. Would anyone be
willing to pay some cash for them? The fellow is having a hard
year(making much less than normal), and could use some help. The way I
figure it, someone might need some of the boards. Just a shot in the
dark, really.
There are also some "floating point accelerators". They are made by
Floating Point Systems.
Tons of Power Supplies for the PDP's(H7-somethingorothers). Loads
of hard drives and stuff.
Anyhow, if anyone can help on this one, do tell me.
Thanks in advance,
Kent Rankin
