An 11/53 thats a 11/23 cpu in a BA23 box. About 6Wx28Hx30D and an easy
110v outlet. With a RD52(30mb) and a RX50 floppy you can run most any
PDP11 OS including unix (starting with 2.9 or 2.11).
No, an 11/53 isn't an 11/23, it uses a J-11 on a board which also includes
the RAM (typically 1.5MB) and its performance is more like an 11/73 than an
11/23. You'd need BSD 2.11 to have any hope of MSCP support for RDxx or
RX50.
