I'd like to include a PDP in my collection, but
not
sure what to go for? My requirements would be
1) It has to be a 70's design
2) It needs to be reasonably compact
3) I'd like to run something 'unix like'
with a c compiler as an option.
4) My budget is not huge <$1000
Any recommendations?
The PDP-11/34 is a fairly compact 1970s design and can run 7th Edition
Unix.
"budget is not huge" is the sticking point. If you get lucky, maybe
you'll find someone giving away a suitable system. If you have to buy
it piece by piece, (CPU, memory, disk controller, disk drive), it
most likely will cost far more than $1000.
