Looking to get into a Mini Computer, PDP or something Like that

Does anyone recall them? The Wikipedia article concentrates on the much more recent history of the corporation, but it does seem that, like HP, their computers were a spinoff of their scientific instruments. Philip. I have a Perkin-Elmer "Super Series type ST" disk drive connected to my /05. It has one fixed (non-removable) platter and a removable cartridge, which looks like an RL02, but it is *not*. It is slightly smaller. I have an other Perkin-Elmer disk dive, looking very similar to the one connected to my 11/05, but this one is not hooked up. It also has a fixed disk, but the removable pack for this drive is actually RL0 size compatible. BTW, I also have the original documentation (1" stack B4), IIRC. - Henk
