Sounds interesting!
SGI is one one my list, a few people have suggested
Sun and HP as
well.
I simply want a machine to demonstrate traditional
unix
It would give you a very nice unix.

Still having difficulties with transport, may be going
to Bradford
soon
and York is not much further - we'll see...
OK. I really can give you an Indy, if that's an incentive, and we're
just off the A64, not right in York.

for RT-11, and maybe other OS's.
One of these days I really need to figure out how to get a monitor attached.

When I get a round tuit I'll hook up the scope to the bnc outputs
on mine and see what comes out, I should be able to figure out
what sort of monitor is needed, there aren't that many common options.

That is an incentive! My friend is talking of going to Doncaster
racecourse which is not far away, so I'll try to be a bit persuasive :-)

Yep, it has a few rows of colour-coded bnc sockets on the back and
a couple of intriguing looking ribbon cables with idc connectors
exiting out the back where it was originally connected to some

round to sorting it out properly (and getting the floppy to work!).
