Hi,
I just wanted to let y'all know that I recently acquired a DEC 2065. I
put up a quick web page of how my shop is being reorganized to
accommodate the new "toy". Warning this is not a permanent location (ie
if you link to it you may not find it in a month).

Arg! That's what I get for re-typing rather than cut-and-paste. The
link should be:

Drop the site from the URL and it will work... http://web.mac.com/ggs17
I'm not sure, if I'm jealous, or relieved that I'm not the one trying
to take care of that BEAUTIFUL system!
What are you going to run on it? What were you running on the KL10?

I never got
the KL10 running (didn't even try). It was stored in a barn
and had lots of "left overs" in it. It would have been a major
restoration effort. It's probably still worth it. I just don't have
the time right now for it which is why I jumped at the chance for the 2065.
I'll probably run TOPS-10 mostly and TOPS-20 occasionally once I get
everything put together and tested.

Very cool. Any chance of getting it up and running on a network? If
you can get it running DECnet, you could hook it up to HECnet.

Until I get all of
the cabinets bolted together I won't be able to
determine what it's exact configuration is. I do know it has 2 MF20
memories. What I don't know is if they are still MF20's or were
upgraded to MG20's. HEAVY power supplies are mounted on the back doors
and an unsupported cabinet will tip over if opened (so I haven't which
is why I don't know the exact configuration). I'm hoping to get the
cabinets bolted together next weekend. It'll take a while since
everything has to be leveled (and it's not right now...I've already
tried...they have leveling feet for a reason...they're not there to just
catch every lip when you're trying to move them).
