PDP 11/84 systems available

A friend who manages some communications systems expects to be decommissioning 3 or 4 PDP 11/84 systems soon (~ end of 2003). These systems have been functioning for approaching-two-decades in a (presumably) good environment. Sorry to be a little vague on details (I'm recalling this from a quick verbal discussion) but each system is something like: PDP 11/84 CPU RL02 removable-platter disc drive MD17 / MD175 fixed disc (?) tape drive (9-track I believe, but that seems a little odd, like it would more likely be those mid-80s DEC cartridges) other I/O interfaces presumably I don't know what OS they were running/installed with. Email me and I'll try to get clarifications if desired. I know these aren't the most desirable units of the PDP 11 family (too young and no blinkenlights) (poor not-so-little things), but any takers for adoption? Any bits or modules to be rescued for someone? Location is Vancouver, B.C., Canada. Price is take-it-away-it's-yours (unless we can twist your arm into making a donation to the radio museum with which we are associated). (Smaller bits I will consider doing for the price of shipping.) -------------------- http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~hilpert/eec
