Anyone interested in a trade? I have a PDP-11/84,
it is missing the
8191 Unibus adapter... what I really want is a PDP-11/x3 Qbus system,
preferrably something along the lines of an 11/73 or maybe an 11/83 in a
Microvax type chassis, but I'm not picky.
I'd love to, since I am actually
looking for a /84, but shipping
would kill us. You should be able to get a BA123 chassis for
cheap, though, and the rest is "standard" stuff of which I have
zillions of spares (memory, rqdx3/rd5x/rx50, kda50-compatible
ESDI controllers, serial, ethernet, etc)
for me, but I would really like to get a working Qbus
system as I just got
my CDC-9766 and I've been spending nearly a week tearing it down, cleaning
and checking it and I have an electrician come next week to install my 220v
line so I can power it, so I really would like to get this beastie cozied up
to a nice PDP-11 along with my RK05.
You can power a 9766 on regular 110, although
it will pull a bit.
But, if you want to connect that to the /84 or /x3, you'll need
a Unibus or Qbus SMD controller- probably an Emulex or Dilog.
I *know* I have some Dilog's for that which I don't use, since
I stopped doing SMD a few years back...
