I recently found a PDP-11/23 (Model 11C23-FE) at Goodwill. It is in a tall
slim tower style enclosure, has a dual 5.25" floppy disk drive, a hard disk,
and 1024KB. It passes the memory test, and trys to boot from "DU0". The
light on the hard disk comes on for a few seconds, and then I get the
message
ERROR UNIT DU0
ERR 13 DRIVE NOT READY
WISH TO REBOOT [Y,(N)]?
So is something broken, or am I just doing something wrong? Any help is
greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Owen

Today was a good day for finding old computer stuff.
Mattel Aquarious in the original packing (no box though). Has manuals,
power supply, but thats it beyond the console.
AIM-65 in the grey typewriter looking case. Boots up fine and even has a
full roll of paper in the printer. Now for the good news, the guy says he
has about a dozen systems like it, AIM, KIM, and SYM. If it works out I may
split the dozen between offering to this list and eBay. Email me privately
if interested, and give me an idea of price and condition. The AIM65 I
brought home is generally in fine shape, ie fly specks on the case that
should clean up and a touch of rust on one of the exposed switches to the
left of the display. Otherwise it looks like years of sitting and getting
dirty (moderate cleaning project ahead including a filthy keyboard).
Appleworks GS still sealed in the original box (box is toast though) and
shrink on manuals.
