I have been on this list for a long time as a reader and wanted to give the
list a heads up on this system before
doing anything else in case somebody wants it and can pick it up.

Cabinet 4:

I am asking US$3000.00 for the four cabinets. I can't guarantee anything but
it was turned off working fine.
The buyer would have the option of buying up to 18 RL02K-DC data carts for
US$25 each
Shipping is probably not an option they are about 300lbs + each
I am located in Kelowna BC Canada about 3hrs north of Spokane Washington..
Preference would have to go to someone that could come and get it.

Isn't the QED-95 the "upgrade" (read: CPU replacement) for the 11/70?
That 11/44 is an 11/70 in disguise :-) Or am I too late and should be in
bed?

Found this about the QED-95

Doc claims ~6.5 X over a 11/70
Here's eBay listed for just the board set at $900

If I remember right, the QED-95 can be used as an upgrade in any Unibus
system. I think there are some configuration difference, or something,
when used to replace an 11/70 CPU, but the basic CPU is not specifically
designed to fit in a specific system.

As far as I remember it was jumper configurable to could act as an 11/34,
11/44, 11/70. Not sure if an 11/84 was also possible.

How I would love to have such a system.
But with no money and being on the other side of continent...
Anyway I would love to see photos of this system from whoever gets it :)
I have yet to get my first PDP 11... Well unless you count a DEC Pro 350...
Been searching for awhile but when they pop up they are either too far,
already gone, or cost more then I can afford being on a college budget.
Oh well someday... ;)
Good luck selling it and good luck to whomever gets it with the moving
process!

My son has a trailer and could pick it up for me.
Is there any possibility of turning on the system and checking if it boots?
Which Operating System was being used before it was turned off? How
long ago was the system run? Where has it been stored? Do you have any
terminals? Should he bring one with him? Would a VT100 be satisfactory?

Hi Jerome
The system was running RSX11M+, and it was used as an RMCS. It had about 6
terminals on it and was gathering data from about 10 sites.
I was shut down in 2000 and I have had it since then. It has been in my
garage the whole time. There have been no rodents or anything.
I used the RMCS but didn't do any of the work on the system. As far as I
know the cables were unplugged and put into each cabinet.
One of the MDI disks was taken from cabinet 3 by someone I don't know
whether it was a MDI 76 or 276. I don't have any terminals
That I would be sure works as I never tried to get it going again.
It also had two RK07 attached to it that I couldn't get.
I do have some spare cards and the original cpu cards that would go with it.
It would be a bit of a project to start it up I guess, I don't know which
disk it boots off, hopefully not the that's missing.
