 What's it's bus? Sounds like it doesn't mix with UNIBUS or Q-BUS
 cards at least not looking at the card numbers "Lxxxx" (HSC) vs.
 "Mxxxx" (UNIBUS/Q-BUS). 
It's a PDP-11. It's not Q-bus, nor Unibus.
  The reason I'm asking is that I'm looking for
the most multi-
 use of my big-iron hardware that takes up so much space. I believe
 I  will be able to run the console computer of my future 11/78x
 as a PDP-11. Would be nice if this is possible with the HSC90
 as well. I would like to:
 - provide a PDP-11/RSX-11 environment for my neighbor to play
    with without getting a dedicated PDP-11. Probably I can do that
    in the future with the LSI-11 of the VAX 11/78x that hopefully
    some day will decorate my garage. 
Huh? Are you saying that you plan on running the front-end as a regular
PDP-11? It's quite a non-standard configuration as far as PDP-11s go.
  - try running 2.9 BSD on a PDP-11. Not knowing much
about
    2.x BSD, I could imagine making the HSC90 into a UNIX-based
    file server or something. 
2.11 will not boot on an HSC. It's quite a special environment, and the
only mass-storage that the PDP-11 have itself is the RX50 floppies.
