Indeed, what a haul (at least if you're into DEC stuff).
        Thanks to the kindly folk at St. Martin's College about 40 miles south of
me, I am now the proud owner of:
        * A PDP-11/44 and its rack...
        * A Fujitsu 'Eagle' drive (and it's weight!)
        * A Cipher 880 front-loader tape drive...
        * Numerous distribution tapes for several versions of RSTS/E, including
one for ver. 9.7(!)...
        * Various bits of documentation. Unfortunately, not a lot on RSTS itself
(much of it got trashed along with the -- get this -- distribution kit for
RSTS 10! Dang, I was pissed when I heard about that...)
        And, thanks to my friends at RE-PC, I have also acquired a pair of M4 Data
model 9914 9-track SCSI tape drives. These are neat boxes! Quad density
(800/1600/3200/6250), autoloading, neat front panel with alphanumeric
display, etc.
        It's been a busy weekend. Now, if you'll pardon me, I need to go collapse
and snore my brains out. ;-)
