And since I'm the new kid on the block here on this list, I guess I'll just have
to
sit here in the Southeast and salivate as I watch you guys who are way ahead of
me go home with more good stuff!!!!!
I want a real unibus PDP-11 badly so I can move a copy of my reincarnated college
11/40 RSTS/E environment off Bob Supnik's simulator and onto some real hardware.
It seems like the guys that have all the good stuff already just keep getting more
while the latecomers sit here with the simulator running the old stuff on a PC via
Telnet.
No, I'm not whining..... :-)

P.S. If any of you ever want to give a PDP-11 to a good home......

McFadden, Mike declared on Friday 16 April 2004 10:51 am:
I just got word from a friend that a company in Kansas
City is
planning to dispose of the following.
DEC VAX 785 in three 6' cabinets
DEC PDP 11/70 in ten 6' cabinets, this may be two computers
4 RM03 disk drives
2 TU80 tape drives
Other disks for VAX
That is what they remembered without actually having a list.
And just perfect the wrong time for me to be able to "help" with
anything. Maybe.
Of course, it looks like I'm too far from the top of the list to be given
the opportunity to help... Still I would love to have any part of
this... the RM03's would work nicely on my 11/750 that needs some
drives.
