A few weeks ago, I got a rather nice PDP-11/34 (34A, turnkey front panel)
from a scrap yard. They had two identical systems being
used in some sort of
electronic testing devices. I only got one system because the
other one
looked like it had been hit by a forklift a couple times. It wasn't in great
shape, so I salvaged some cards from it (CPU, memory, DELUA, drive
controller, UNIBUS utility stuff...).
My system is in very nice shape though. And along with the CPU, I also got
two RC25 drives, along with controllers and cables. I've never seen these
before. Can anyone tell me anything about them? They look like nice drives,
but I've never really heard much about them.
Anyway, this will be my third 11/34. Of the other two, I still have (and
very much like) one, and one has been passed on to another list member.
Anyway, more questions on recent acquisitions to come shortly, I'm sure.
