I am happy to announce my new baby: thanks to Jon
Auringer of
Astronautics and Merle Pierce of RICM, I have now a VAX 11/780
in my garage. Nice cabinet, with UNIBUS extension and a TE16
drive (looks nice but will I ever sacrifice a 25A circuit just
for it?).
Oh My. I *really* like TE16 drives. They'll run on much less than
a 25A circuit, though...Years ago, I ran a TE16 and a PDP11/34a with
two RL01s on a 15A circuit. It was tight, but it ran.
