Eric,
I posted the reply that that all Genrads I've seen were
testers. I didn't post about having a chance to buy one.
I have a Genrad unit that I picked up out of a
scrap yard. I thought it
was just an external 8" floppy drive but when I opened it up I found it had
a complete PDP-11/23 system in it along with a hard drive! It even has
RSX-11M installed on it. It was a controller for some kind of circuit
board test station. My advice is to buy it if it doesn't cost much. Nice
things come in small packages!
This is the case for a lot of test systems.
