Okay, I obviously missed it.
Don't forget the quad-height /73 board,
it's much nicer than the
dual-height boards.
That's the KDJ11-B, no? That's there. Is a /44
really worth that much now?!?!
Hey, one just went for more than that: eBait #183624991924, $3K! Admittedly,
that one was loaded, but the page does say "a number of factors will cause
them to vary considerably from the numbers given here ... Exactly which
peripherals and memory are included".
But I did adjust the number a bit - the boards are going for about $50 each,
and add in a BA11-A, it's probably $700 for a bare machine. Actually, I
really need to check all the numbers. But I think I'd rather get the QBUS boxes sorted
out first; I pretty much
only know the BA11's. If someone could tell me what later boxes to list,
above the BA23, (which I also need an image of), that would be very helpful.
The most obvious is the BA123. A /73 in a BA123 makes for a *VERY* nice system,
especially if you have removable SCSI disk trays.
Something that comes to mind is the DECserver 500/550, it?s a PDP-11/53 with a different
PROM. IIRC, it was typically in a rack-mount BA213 chassis. I think that I have at least
parts for one around here somewhere.
