As of September 30, 2006, the last PDP-11 that rolled off the line
will finally be 10 years old.
The PDP-11 EOL was actually September 30,1996.
Mentec continued it and you can still buy new 11 based boards.

Is Mentec still selling them? From the last time I looked at the
website, it looked like they were only reselling emulators instead of
real hardware now.
Still up until recently they were selling new boards.
