I noticed this

collectors among us:

The starting price ($199 US) seems high, but these are pretty hard to find.
One possibly sour note though - the seller wants a flat rate of $150 to ship
anywhere in North America.
Interesting. It's in identical shape to the one
that I've got. I've been wondering how much one would sell for if it was fixed up
a little. However, I think the outrageous shipping charge and unknown condition will
prevent him from getting what he could for it.
Jerome Fine replies:
When Megan Gentry mentioned that the PDT-11/150
is able to do a LLF (Low Level Format) on the 8" floppy
media, I asked about the possibility of a hard disk drive.
Does the PDT-11/150 use the DX.SYS device driver
to run the RX01 floppy media?
I know there is a device driver called PD.SYS, but I am
not sure what it supports.
Also, from what I understand, the PDT-11/150 can run
RT-11, but not RT11XM, only RT11SJ and RT11FB.
And the maximum memory is probably 64 KBytes with
the IOPAGE taking either 8 KBytes (or 4 KBytes?).
Sincerely yours,
Jerome Fine
