I have a PDP-11/60 available in Houston TX along with
an HP 9836. If
interested contact me off list. Looking to see if anyone is interested in
them whole before parting it out. Seems most people just want bits and
pieces.
If I were home, I'd give serious consideration to a road trip (from Ohio).
That's one of the models I've always thought was kinda cool, due to the
writable control store. I heard a story once that one of the DEC engineers
wrote PDP-8-instruction-set microcode for it as an exercise. Internal
lore held that it was the fastest PDP-8 ever made (dunno if it ran more
than FOCAL and paper-tape programs, though - interfacing devices would
be a bit of a hassle, I'd expect).
