I do have a 5.25" 11/34 in my basement right now,
with a limited-function
panel, but I'm not sure you can _put_ the programmer's panel on the
short 11/34s. We always used ODT on it anyway (cf. recent discussion
about force-feeding PDP-11s from a VAX via ODT and special console toggle
switch - this one _is_ that PDP-11).
You _can_ put the programmer's console on it: I am running it that way.
Of course, you still need the matching board inside the box, and you
won't have a lot of room (and power) for other peripherals, especially
if you're lucky enough to have a cache board, so I hooked up a UNIBUS
cable to a 10.5" box, where the controllers live.
