drive, no cabinet.
1) DEC PDP11/84. CPU only in 4ft. cabinet suitable for mounting drive in
top bay.
Drop me a note if interested. Note: my ISP is having problems with their
dial up lines (darn US West anyway!) so my access to email is a bit
sporadic at present... So don't panic if I don't get right back to you...

While I would appreciate the tape drive in order to read some
DEC RT-11 distributions which are now only on 9-track tape,
I understand the drive is VERY heavy.
Also, although the 11/84 is a monster overall, it would be worthwhile
if it were going to the dumpster to at least save the CPU board
which can also be used in a Qbus, but not the memory.
Incidentally, I am in Toronto. Postage code is M2R 3G3.
Please advise.
