picked up PDP11/23

No, I'M confused. RL01 and RL02 it is. D'oh. Yeah of course I was joking. A thick safety pin should be all it needs. I'm not daft. As it turns out, my next door neighbour (who helped me pick up this thing) used to service them all the time. And he's itching to do some work on this one. So, everything will be done properly... he wants to clean it and disassemble it before powering up; I think I'll let him have at it. On a side note, he told me he used to have boxes and boxes of DEC microfiche - sent to DEC personell only, containing all sorts of troubleshooting, bug fixes, circuit info, etc etc. He said they were really really good documentation on the DEC machines. Of course, probably thrown out - but he may have some lying around at his Mom's place. That will be interesting :) I do have a couple of old magnetic tapes picked up the same time. Mostly junk, I'd guess - but one has a VAX/VMS C compiler label, if anyone is interested in that.
