There's a nice, working PDP 11/23 with 20 meg hdd and 1meg (!!) of ram,
with terminal screens indicating full operation. The asking price is
$900.00, but I imagine the fellow might negotiate. Shipping is gonna
be a fair penny.
best,
Jeff

Well, it probably is lighter than the one with 2 RL02's :-)

This is about a 90 minute drive for me.? Don't need another one though.
guessing 50# shipping though, the seller says no shipping, local pickup
only.
thanks

Subject: PDP 11/23 for sale on Ebay
There's a nice, working PDP 11/23 with 20 meg hdd and 1meg (!!) of ram,
1MB RAM isn't exactly huge for a MicroPDP-11, though it's quite ample
for a KDF11 machine. The most interesting thing about it is that it's 2
512k M8067 boards, which from my experience are rather uncommon, and can
fetch a pretty penny, as they're a bit faster than the M7551's.
I'm not sure why people are balking at the price though, $900 seems
about right for a MicroPDP11, given how versatile and integrated those
machines are. It's hard to get much more PDP11 in a smaller form factor,
and having drives in the chassis itself really helps keep the space
usage down. Much more practical than an 11/03 and pair of RL02's.
Looks like a really nice machine, worth picking up for those needing
more PDP11's in their life.
Cheers,
Josh Rice
