This does bring up an interesting question. What
percentage of people
with
PDP-11's have Unibus PDP-11's. Also of the people that do have Unibus
PDP-11's, how many have a large number of PDP-11's?
Q-bus PDP-11/23 in the Dec half-height cabinet with 2 RL02's (a common
configuration apparently). It came with two VT-100's and a LA36 DecWriter
II. I have yet to power it up. My second PDP is an 11/73 in a desk-side
case (is that the microPDP-11/73?) that I had running for a while. My
other Dec holdings are an Alphaserver 4100 in a pedestal configuration
with a similar sized external SCSI array and a VaxStation.
My college gave me a PDP-8 in a full rack with a fixed disk, but I had to
re-home that when I moved out of my parents home and into an apartment. At
the time they weren't particularly collectible or uncommon. I've begged
the new owner several times to consider returning it, or at least leaving
it to me in his will.
