Hi,
Well my collection is starting to grow out of control! Here is what I have:
3 (poss 4) 11/34s
11/44
11/05
5 x 11/73s
3 x 11/23s
11/03
11/83
couple of 8a's
WP-78
various drives (RL01s,RL02s,RK05s,RX01/02s and lots of RD and SDI
winchesters)
spares to build up another 10-20 qbus machines (although prob not enough
boxes)
more microvaxes than I care to remember (mixture of pizza boxes and QBUS
machines)
On the non DEC front I have an Interdata machine (can't remember the model)
and a small collection of Apples/BBC micros
My long term aim is to try to get an example of each of the main -11s built.
Probably an impossible ambition, but you have to have an aim. I'm hopefully
going to secure a couple of 11/70s and an 11/60 shortly to join the
collection. I suspect obtaining the older 11/20s,11/35/40s,11/45/50/55 will
be the biggest difficulty in completing the line as all of them by now
should have secure homes.
Cheers,
Toby

I've got a Baydel OEM PDP11/73, and I bought a set of 11/03 boards from
a guy in Australia (snatching them from the grasp of a chip collector in
the closing seconds. As ChrisM might say, LOL LOL LOL).
The 11/73 basically runs (but I need a copy of the boot ROMs), the 11/03
cards I gave to someone else on the list along with a BA23 case and
probably enough bits to cobble together a working system.
There's a long and involved story about how I got my PDP11, which I'll
write down some time. I nearly got it 15 years ago, but ended up with
it anyway.

Out of
interest, how many UK PDP-11 owners are there on this list?
Might be
worth assembling a little SIG to allow us to swap parts etc
Me, for one. I've got (from what I rememebnr (!)) :
