Too bad the 11/20 is in Australia, I'd make you an
immediate offer
otherwise :-)
It was the first computer I did "real" work on in college. Dunno
if I still have any of the paper tapes though.
I haven't worked my way up to the 11/10 and 11/20 yet because I started
on the PDP8's. The PDP8's seem to be coming up OK. A few intermittent
switches but nothing major so far. I was initially surprised that the
PDP8/L with a wire wrap backplane came up so easily but my engineer
offsider assured me that wire wraps provide airtight joints and I
shouldn't worry too much. I hope the 11/20 is as accommodating.
You wouldn't have to worry about paper tape. We ran these things off
RK05's running RT11.
Regards,
Bob.
