I don't know what it can bare, BUT, I'd be inclined to recommend distributing the
load. Get some long boards, and put under it with the boards running the opposite
direction of the beams under the floor.

I recently bought a lovely PDP11/45 in a H960 rack,
with the CPU, a Unibus
Expansion box and an RK05 drive. I am guessing the whole thing must weigh at
least 100Kg, possibly 150Kg or even more (my worst case estimate is 200Kg).
I am concerned whether the floor of the upstairs room where I now have it
can bear the weight. I have placed it right next to a load bearing wall to
ease the strain on the joists. Can anyone tell me what sort of weight a
normal UK upstairs floor can bear? If my guessed weight is anything close to
the limit I will weigh parts of the machine to get a more accurate idea of
the actual weight.
Thanks
