I'm very much interested in this. I have a big soft spot for the
11/750; I was a sysadmin for one for a long time many years ago (VMS)
and later had one at home, back when that was considered "odd" (1992
I think)...I stupidly sold it and missed it ever since, and got one
from a listmember not long ago. It's not yet
running, but it will
be; I need some little mechanical parts for it and then
I'll start
testing power supplies.
My 11/750 has VMS 4.7 loaded, and I am looking for
images that I can
use reinstall VMS onto a new drive (I don't want to scribble over top
of the drive I have for fear it may contain something important).
What sort of drive is it?
I would also like to organize a SIG for the really
early PDP-11's
(PDP-11/20 and PDP-11/10).
I think a group of SIGs like this is a really good idea.
