<Boy I'd pay $100 for a working PDP11/23 with RL02's (at least one workin <and bootable). < <Bill get out a scrounge around. 11/23s are common as house flies. you should be able to find one for free that is usable. The common problem is you can find just the cpu box (cpu, ram, IO, maybe disk controller) but no drives. The thing is with RX02s for $100 is possible, with RL02s no way. RL02 drives used go for more than that alone. I'm looking for a RL02 drive myself as I only have one, they are scarce and expensive. SCSI boards and eithernet cards same thing, expensive. CPU boards, maybe $20-40. The problem is most cards compatable with an 11/23 are also compatable with most of the qbus VAX systems other than memory(usable but far too slow and limiting in other ways.). Allison
