Another option is to build a PDP11 from the things you
paid too much for on
eBay. Take a look here:

Someone just bid more than $500 for an RD52 with RSTS/E v9 on it. No
computer, mind you -- just the disk.
Yikes!

They weren't bidding on the Hard Drive, they were gambling they'd be able
to get RSTS/E V9 off of it. Of course if they're willing to gamble that
much, they should have enough money to just go buy the license and media
for the current version! Granted that would be quite a bit more, but
still...
