Not lately, no. They're not all that common. I'd guess that, if you
have your heart set on that and only that model (to which I'd ask
"why?"), you should set aside $450-600 or so.
I'm definitely up for some assembly from parts, so
I'd be good with acquiring a BA23 pedestal and upgrading the CPU
board later if I could find one. Problem is that sort of thing rarely shows up on eBay,
which is why I've been asking
around on a few forums...
Do more than a few hobbyists have 11/93's or 11/73's, or are those fairly
uncommon machines?
Hardly anyone has 11/93s. I have an 11/94 (Unibus version) but it's
dead. 11/73s are pretty much everywhere, though.
The 11/73 is the one that's got the 15MHz CPU and
accesses memory across the QBus, right?
Yes, except that quad-width 11/73 CPU boards (KDJ11B) can use PMI
memory. Duals (KDJ11A) cannot. Also, earlier revs can't take an FPJ11
chip, but later ones can.
