I have a PDP-11 system, fairly recent, about the size
of a mini-fridge, on wheels.
last I checked it was still fully operational, but I can't speak to that now, it's
spent the last 2 years in storage.
I just don't have space for it, and it's a bit larger than I can find use for.
its about 4 feet long, 2 feet wide and perhaps 3 feet high - thats by eye ball.
it has a TK70 tape drive that's in excellent shape.
the plastic cover over the front is missing which is why I'm not sure of the model.
I'd rather sell or trade it, if there's interest.

I don't have any VAX systems, so no trade is possible.
But I am in Toronto (H. Fine at 2 Inglis Gate), so give
me a phone call.
If your system is 2 feet wide, it sounds like a 19" rack
in a low cabinet. Does it have an RL02?
The TK70 is a 5 1/4" DLT type tape drive which uses DEC
CompacTape II media. I don't think the front cover
could be missing, but I am not a hardware type person.
Do you know which model of PDP-11?
And I have been asking for someone to pick up my PDP-11
systems, but no one has answered. Still, I can't see
that it would be reasonable to toss it if it is Qbus.
Sincerely yours,
