DEC Haul!

Well, I've done it again. This time, I went all ~1400 miles to San Diego. I've been saving my money for this one, and it paid off nicely. I picked up: * PDP-11/20 -- According to the owner, this one worked last time it was booted (no idea when that was), and I should expect the monitor to still be loaded in the core. * PDP-11/20 -- Not known to be in working condition. Missing a few switches up front and maybe a few boards inside. Basicaly, a spares machine. The faceplate is the older one that just says "PDP11" instead of "PDP11/20", and I'll probably transplant it to the working machine for that reason. * PDP-11/05 chassis -- In great condition, but with no boards. Anybody have a set up for trade? * TU56 -- Looks to be in great condition. * TC11 -- Looks to be in great condition. * DECtapes -- About 100 of them. I think there's an operating system and a fortran compiler in there somewhere. * A few printsets. I'd like to find a couple of RK05 drives, maybe a PCxx paper tape reader/punch, and their controllers to round out this system. Anybody have any of these up for trade? Considering that all this was free to a good home and that it fit in the back of the Suburban I borrowed from my parents, this has turned out to the be least expensive haul this summer. All in all, I'd say that this summer has been very successful. -- Jeffrey S. Sharp jss(a)ou.edu
