Subject: 11/70 board set on e-bay. . .
Someone just posted a complete 11/70 board set on e-bay.

You are bidding on 18 cards pulled from a working PDP11/70 CPU headed for the dump.

Sadly I had no way of transporting the several hundred pound rack
and was only able to remove the cards.

(Sadly, I can't bring myself to tell him that the?front panel alone?would
?probably have been?worth?3?or 4?times what he'll get for the boards. . . . )

Hmmm, the last board listed is the M8255. That is the board that goes into slot 40.
It is used on the 11/70's with the "remote console", so this stripped 11/70
probably
did not have the "blinkenlight" console. Nevertheless, a shame that the machine
is
scapped and only the boards survived.
