Once upon a midnight dreary, Tony Duell had spoken clearly:
Please, somebody save these machines.... I mean, if they were DEC
PDP11's, then everybody would be after them. But not Tektronix stuff for
some reason.
I like Tex stuff (that's what my o'scope is nicknamed...) as I worked with
some early color printers from Tektronix when I worked for Electronic Data
Systems (General Motors) back in '89 / '90.
or across the states... that's my dilemma... :-(

(either the 11/03 floppy-based one or the 11/23
hard-disk based one)?
I have one of each that are soon to be scrap unless someone is interested.
I don't know why most people don't go after
development systems. They're
very interesting machines, almost always very well built, and they're
still useful for working on classic machines. The In-circuit emulator
cards for these machines could be just what you need to fix that home
micro...
I'd *love* to own it... but I have no clue how'd I'd get it shipped from
Oregon to Northern Michigan without emptying my pocketbook...
That, and a mostly full basement now; tho that's never stopped me before...
;-)
I can pack for
shipping but they are very heavy.
Having had to carry my pair across a building, there's no way I'd
consider having one shipped from the States...
