So, I picked up a PDP-11/03 at VCF East, with a
single RX01
drive. I'm told it was used as the control processor for a
VAX-11/780. It has the following boards installed:
M7264 EB 11/03 processor with 4-Kword MOS RAM
M7940 Serial Line Unit (SLU, Async)
M7946 RX01 8" floppy disk controller
M8017 Single-line async control module
M7944 4-Kword 16-bit MOS RAM (external refresh)
M9400 YE Headers and 240-ohm terminators (18-bit bus only)
There's one open dual-width slot in the card cage. It looks like
I have the cable for the M7940 to connect to a terminal, as well as
the RX01 cable.
With 8KW of RAM, what would I be able to run on this system?
Recommendations? I'm a novice in the PDP-11 world.
With that little RAM, that's actually a good question, and I'm
curious to see what others come up with. I think at least early
versions of RT-11SJ will fit.
The OS that comes to mind is the Paper-Tape OS, though I don't know
if it supports an 11/03.
Another problem is your available I/O.
