Road Trip in a Microbus? I'm game. I took my
'63 to Spokane from
Pittsburgh a few years ago. Only used two engines.
Ack! My beloved '76 is down; the (first) engine is in the basement undergoing
a complete top-job (new heads, pistons, cylinders) after 2 owners and 125K
miles
I've been meaning to
weld a pdp11/23 into the area where the refrigerator is supposed to go,
but haven't got a round tuit yet. It'd be neat to have a classic computer
survellence bus.
I saved the A/C plastic enclosure that used to sit behind the heads in the
fronts seats to put a computer up there someday. At the time, I was thinking
about a C-64 due to low power requirements. If you powered the PDP-11 from
some source other than the alternator, you might have a chance; I wouldn't want
to put that kind of a load on the factory electrical system.
What would you use for disk? Now... an 11/23 in a BA-23 w/ 1/2-height MFM,
or better yet, 3.5" SCSI, might be doable. My 11/23's tend to have RL02's
on them; not exactly road worthy.
