The REAL sad thing is, James, I would have done the PLC program for the
11/34 and shipping... And what do you mean by 'promised to a scrap yard',
what did he do for the company as his end of the bargain??? 8-)

A plant at which I work is retiring a PDP11/34 and two

racks later this month. This machine has at least two sets of spare
boards and even a spare hard drive as well as a complete set of
manuals. It has been under a DEC service contract and has been running
24/7 for the last 20 years. After I transfer control of the furnaces to
AB PLC's later this month, the DEC has been promised to a scrap yard in
the Dallas area. If I can pry it away from the scrapper grasp, would
anyone want it. I'm not into mini's so I don't want it, but I hate to
see it get recycled for the metal.
