Available DEC gear: updp-11/23's

I have two micro PDP-11/23 (or /53 not entirely sure) systems in need of a home. Theywere in a surplus pallet purchase from the Boeing Aerospace Co about 8-10years ago and my buddy who bought them gave them to me since I used to use similsr systems when I worked at Boeing for multi-channeldata aquisitionan experiment control. I can't give an exhaustive list of the system config's as I had a stroke in Feb and don't have the full use of

my limbs and the systems are confined in a closet in a seldom used area of my house. The units each include processor, memory (one 4MB board , one is less, maybe 1MB) and drive controller boards (an RQDX2 or 3 in one , RQDX1 in the other)and at one time I had partial success getting an RT-11 system installed on one of them - using an IBM PC terminal emulator program as a serial port for VT terminal input. So the hardware is good, it just needs some tlc and someone with enough expertise and free time to get them configured. I think there is at least one RD/5x equivalent drive avaiable also. They each weigh about 80+ #'sI also have a set of rt-11 v5.x floppies(and system manuals - in orange DEC binders) and a tape distro of v5.4 (if I recall correctly). I have a warm spot in my heart for these systems, and would like to find them a good home. They are in the floor standing narrow molded cream cases/bases and would need to be freighted or picked up if someone wanted them and was not too far away I know they

Boeing over$10K or so each when new and I know they aren't worth much now, so I'm not trying to sell them, but I'd like to see them in use again . If you can find anyone who is interested in these units, please have them contact me, so we can discuss transferring them. If your organization

like them as museum pieces, etc. I'd be happy to donate them. Thanks Tim Majoch
