Hi,
I'm trying to rescue/restore a PDP 11/34A. The
basic CPU looks to be in a good state, its been
stored well.
What I'd like to do is make up a small 19" rack of
some kind (was this the DEC 'corporate' rack) or
a regular rack if I cant find that, and add a
suitable 11/34A compatible disk drive. I have
a suitable VT.
The 11/34A has a good selection of tape and disk
interface cards so an RL02 or similar would probably
work fine.
Does anyone have anything available for sale
or trade in the UK preferably. I can collect of
course.
I have plenty of PDP QBUS spares for trade if
that's of interest - just no disks or racks.
I've got a spare RL02 drive, and a bunch of carts, but no Unibus
controller card. If your 11/34 has something that will work, you're
welcome to it, and some disks.
Only thing is, I'm in Glasgow, which is probably not terribly near you
(all the other classiccmpers I know are at least as far south as the
Pennines).
There *might* be a haul of PDP-11 stuff in Aberdeen. I don't know if
it's still there, and I haven't spoken to the guy who had it in about a
year.
