Sweet.
I read
somewhere that it could be converted to a 11/53 with a minimal
effort. How much trouble?
Rip out the CXA's (16-port serial boards), add a
disk and/or tape
controller, and perhaps some memory.
Won't you need "real" 11/53 Boot Roms? I got a KDJ-11 board from
Jonathan Engdahl a while back that he had returned to "normal"
status. ISTR there might be a jumper or two that needs to be moved,
but I'm not certain; I didn't mod it.
Nice find. Wish I could grab one like that.
