My hackerspace (ENTS; http://ents.ca/) recently got a
large donation of equipment and components from an automation company. Most of it was test
equipment but there was also a PDP-11/34 with two RL01 drives. An LP11 and a DZ11 are also
installed. Several RL cartridges are included, although some are RL02 cartridges, and one
is a VMS 3.0 distribution cartridge. There are also a few boxes of documentation that we
haven't gone through yet (although I'd be surprised if there were anything there
that's not on Bitsavers).
If you don't mind splitting the lot up, I would be interested in buying the VMS 3.0
RL02 pack for my VAX-11/730 project. I'm probably willing to buy any other RL02 packs
for my PDP-11/44 project, too.
I'm running short on space, so I'd rather see somebody else adopt the computer,
RL01 drives and their associated packs. I'm also a bit scared of how much truck
freight might cost across an international border.
I think it's definitely worth sorting through the documentation. I've already
found several manuals that came with my 11/730 that aren't in the wild as PDFs yet,
and scanning them is on my to-do list.
