You're concerned about the size of a PDP-11 but not of an S/390? Pretty

A few of the ancient x86 line have some
historical value. The 1st IBM
PC, the Jr, the 1st laptops, the 1st portable PC, and so on are
collectibles because they are the 1st of something. But a generic white
box 386, meh.
That's true, but you gotta play with the cards dealt to you. That is, I
don't have a SPARC or a old Sun 3 or a VAX, or even something exotic
such as a IBM z/390, or something big that would fall right through my
floor like a PDP-11 (which I'd love to have, just to run 2.10BSD)
