This evening I accidentally aquired a PDP-11/23 (model
# 11E23-FE). It
has RD-52A hard disk and dual floppies like the ones on a Rainbow.
Sweet!
What can I do with it? It does boot and is running
RT11 with 512k of ram.
Well, I like to use mine for connecting to my ISP, for games, for a little
programming, for tinkering, etc.
It appears to have a fault. It often runs for just a
few minutes then
drops to a @ prompt and starts spitting out strings of ? marks endlessly.
Is this a failure anyone is familiar with? How can I tack more ram on it?
The machine is is fairly good condition and appears complete. --
I don't recognize the problem I'm afriad, but 512k is a LOT of RAM! BTW,
is that K or KW?
