Hi!
[..]
Since when is/was RT-11 freeware? Should I rescue this machine? What OS do I need
to acquire for it?
Sure!!! I don't know if 4.2BSD or 4.3BSD run on a PDP11/73,
but in fact
RT-11 does. It is now Freeware.
Ciao,
Freddy One of the hardest things about collecting
PDP-11s is getting OS licenses for anything but the older versions of
UNIX...
2.11BSD is the newest version and getting a hobbyist license for it is
now easier than ever. See
http://minnie.cs.adfa.oz.au/PUPS/
for the SCO license deal (now free).

If they do this then the market for PDP-11's will go up by a large amount.
