<I also have a Trimm- or Sigma- pedestal style 11/73 system with TK50,
<RQDX3/RD53, RX50's. Its a beautiful piece, but I need something much
<more compact, like a desktop BA23ish enclosure or VT103.
BA23 is not much smaller and you will not get all of that in a BA23.
The VT103 is ok, but power will severely limit the system you can build
and there is no preovision for mass storage inside. I forget the Vt103.
Also there is the BA123 {stylish end table} and that has room and power.
You'd need a Terminal for that as the VIDEO console if installed wants
a 19" tube that is huge.
Another compact PDP-11 might be the PRO350 or 380 series.
In the end it depends on what you want the system to do.

Hey Allison, that's my line :^) BA123's are the ulitimate end tables! Of
course a pair of BA23's and a large board to go on top would work in a
pinch.
Seriously, if anyone complains about the size of the computer, just sell
them on the idea it's a table :^) Hmmm, this is probably why I've got
problems whenever, I want to use my PDP-11/44, I'm always using the racks
as a work surface.... Major effort to clean it off always :^(

Um, that would be on the VAX though wouldn't it, or is there one for the
PDP-11? I'm aware of video cards for PDP-11's, but am not aware of them
having been any more than a rarity.
