Well, I'm seriously considering divesting
myself of actual PDP-11
hardware in favor of just running RT-11 on simh. After all, I'm really
a software guy. It *is* fun playing with the old hardware though and
it's nice to actually handle the Q-Bus cards. I enjoyed hearing the
clacking of the RX02 drives as I ran the DECUS C compiler and
assembler. On the other hand, it would be nice to get back some floor
and closet space. I wonder if anyone would like to trade an 11/23 and
RX02 for one of the smaller pedestal units?

You might also want to try the hobby version of E11 at:

I run under Windows 98 SE since I REQUIRE the VT100
emulation which supports 132 character text lines
under KED. Your hardware must also have ATI based
video support - or at least that is what it seems
to be for me. I use a 750 MHz Pentium III with
an AGP card which is ATI based. It runs RT-11
about 15 times as fast as a DEC PDP-11/93.
E11 runs just fine under MSDOS, I use an old 486 DX4/100, no
display, no keyboard - just a terminal. And you can add the
blinkenlites...
