You do realize that PDP-11's are more than just
cool toys don't you?
There
are people/companies whose livelyhood depends on these
systems and their
continueing to run.
Nah, running a CAT scanner is just child's play.
And AFAIC, I don't really want to play with a PDP-11; I just
didn't want to see an otherwise complete system that was two
components away from total restoration ripped to shreds!
The only thing I can see that the buyer did wrong was
leaving the
powersupply! At least from what you've said I assume he left
it. If he went so far as to get the backplane he really should have
taken that.
He's taking about a third, and leaving two thirds.
The rack is staying behind too. But I guess DEC racks
grow on trees.
