I didn't think I get response this fast. Your about 3rd in line. I'll
keep you posted if things change.
Thanks,

Hello All,
Please respond privately.... this is going to two lists.
I have a Micro PDP11 that I would like move to a new home. It is an
11/73 that uses the CPU board from the 11/83. It is the 18mhz J11 CPU
with FPU (M8190-AE). It currently has 2megs of ECC memory, although I
have about 3megs worth of parity that could be swapped in instead.
Various other boards are included (no scsi boards :-) It is in the
tower mounted BA23. The case is clean, but has a few flaws....
scratches and the base is cracked, and one of the little horns? where
the back cover fits it cracked. Overall the case looks very nice. The
steel chassis itself could use a vacuum, However.
I could get into he ROM with a terminal, but never got it to boot from
the RD54 HD. It complained of a bad controller (m7555). I have spares,
but never tried them. It could be the drive as this particular PDP11
has a bad history with drives according to the documentation that came
with it.
The main reason I would like to move this on, is because I don't have
the time to learn about it. I know nothing of the PDP11 OS's. Plus I
have a Vax that I would like to get working, and lots of other little
projects.
In the subject line, I state "almost free". I do have some money in it,
and would like to recoup at least some of it, so I'd like to get $40 for
it. That's certainly much lower than what it would fetch on Ebay.
I live in Battle Creek, MI. It's right off of I94 about 1/2 way in
between Detroit and Chicago.
Here is the info on the cpu board from the field guide:
M8190-AE KDJ11-BF Q/U 11/83-84 CPU J11 CPU 18MHz with 2 boot &
M8190-AE diagnostic ROMs, FPJ11-AA.
M8190-AE Refs: EK-KDJ1B-UG, uNOTE N#025, N#030, N#035, N#039
