PDP-11/70 in Yates Center, KS

Before that I had home micros since about 1980 but usually only one at a time, and they were for day-to-day use, not as part of a collection, until about 1985, when I had three or four machines. 1986 (or maybe late '85) was when I acquired a PDP-11/23 that had been taken out of service (as a comms concentrator), and over the next four years my quest to provide it with bootable storage and other things led to a larger collection. Whenever I tracked down something I needed, I found either it in turn led to something else, or more often, came with something that was just crying out to be used -- if only I had one other item I'd have to hunt for. By 1992 I had several small PDP-11s and perhaps a couple of dozen micros of various sorts. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York
