The fellow who posted the record some time back which was titled to be
PDP1 music reposted the record for $299 and sold it.
the reason to note anything about it is that I had emailed him about
taking a capture of it and passing it along before selling the record
The ebay listing up right now has a track you can download as long as it
stays up.

Here is the link to the song as well.

I thought it was nice of him to do that, as many people who list things
on ebay would have bothered. I would say that it was just to sell the
record, but I think the rarity of it to record collectors and a lower
price is why it sold.
Man, what a blast from the past! A friend of mine did some work like
this on a PDP-5,
about 1970, at Washington U.
I think the PDP-1 does a little better, but it was fairly comparable.
