Hey, happy birthday! How odd to find another PDP geek born on
March 21st. :)
The second is
a PDP-11/05. It hasn't been powered up in about
twenty years, and has an empty backplane. I'm pretty sure I have
all the right boards, but I'll have to dig through quite a few
crates to locate them. I may do that tomorrow or Friday. Friday
is my birthday (39, *shudder*) and I always make it a point to do
things that I love on my birthday, and hacking on a PDP-11
definitely qualifies, so I'll probably work on it then.
Umm *shudder* 48 here this friday ... Why does this list make you
feel
old. PS. I wonder if I can get a cake, with a computer that
pops out ....
<runs and ducks>
Yes, but what kind of computer? I vote for a PDP-11/70. That'd
be one hell of a cake!
