Pretty. And complicated to be shipped, I think.
Is it really a 11/34? I doesn't look like the ones I have.
I've got next to no experience with the bigger PDP11s but I've been
reading up a little and looking at photos and it would appear that there may be a certain,
important part missing? As has been mentioned, this might just be an expansion unit.
I've emailed the seller, asking for some more photos
It may be real.
Remember that some PDP11 models came with two types of console, a ?programmer?s console?
that lets you examine memory and do similar things you?d expect from a lights &
switches console, and a basic console (forgot what they were called) that just allowed for
halt/run and reboot. It looks like this one is the latter kind, with those control
switches positioned at the top of that dark gray side panel. That packaging does sound
familiar.
Still, it?s definitely worth a careful check.
