There is no photo, and here's the description:
"Applicon Mainframe For sale. Must be moved from current location. Consists
of one PDP11 Processor, reel to reel tape backup unit, 200 megabyte memorex
removable platter hard drive, 4 autocad terminals with green crts. System
was once owned by Fisher Motorbody and used to design car bodies. System is
two 6 ft tall standard 19" racks and the external hard drive unit. Each
terminal is a build in desk unit with the monitor mounted on a pole in the
back and sitting one foot above the desk area. Unit must be moved for the
space. Shipping must be paid by the buyer. Best offer and take it away."
There's only one bid for $10.00, no reserve, and the auction ends in about 8
hours. Does this sound like something that would be worth driving a little
over 300 miles to pick up? The PDP11 description leaves a lot to the
imagination. Does anyone know which PDP11 was used by Applicon?
