I think most of us are looking for PDP-8's, I know I'd love one for my collection :^) As for -11's, they're not that hard to find, IF you're willing to spend six months to a year looking you should be able to put one together that's fairly complete fairly cheaply. BTW, I recommend a Q-Bus based PDP-11, they're easier to work on, and take up less space usually. When I got my first 3 PDP-11's, it took me about 6-8 months before I was actually able to run one of the /73's, as I needed to find additional stuff. The /44 took a lot longer as I needed to find both parts and spend a lot of time cleaning it up. If you're not willing to spend that kind of time, but are willing to spend a lot of money, look at eBay, or a DEC dealer. While looking for the actually hardware, you can play with the software in emulators. There are several good ones, the best is a PDP-8/e emulator for the Macintosh that even includes frontpanel emulation. Zane | Zane H.
