<The only problem with that plan is that with a CPU card (say, a KDJ11-A),
<memory and serial lines courtesy of an MXV11-B, and some sort of disk
<controller like an RQDX3 and the power draw crowbars the power supply.
<At least it has done so on every BA11-VA that I've tried...
I've always run out of slots before running out of power.
the 11/23 (m8186 dual) plus two MXV11s and a RQDX3 does work if you don't
mind using a tu58 to boot it!
<Well, they certainly aren't *typical* pdp-11s with a boot console that

For the pro350, not so for the PDT11/1xx.
<they also have a *64*Hz clock... In RT-11, the clock interrupt service
<drops one clock tick out of every 16 -- so it only processes 60 clock

Someday the hardware boys will get it.
