Yep, I've got a few, and I don't think I've paid more than $10 (maybe
$15 with shipping) for any of them. I was thinking about reusing the
T-11 for some sort of project (or figuring out enough of the hardware
to turn it into a minimal "pdp-11".) I thought that it'd be fun to run
RT-11 (or something) on a VT240, and hook another terminal up to it for
a console. :) Unfortunately, other projects, and the probable
difficulty kept me from working much on it.
