Several people responded to my original "rescue" notice, but folks seem to
want boards, etc. as opposed to system units. I'm bringing it up again - as
I was just notified that the space where the equipment is located is now
under a new lease contract, and the DEC gear must be "disposed of" as soon as
possible, or it will be scrapped. This is totally "free" gear - local pickup
O.K., or get it for the price of shipping...
History:
From a historical perspective, this equipment is
interesting - I was used to
develop TSX-plus!!! The "11/73" is an
"11/03" that was upgraded to an
"11/23", to an "11/23+" and finally to an "11/73". The
original $28K system
was provided by DEC free of charge to TSX for software development...
Here's the equipment list:
1 PDP11/73 processor - 1 MB memory (maybe more)
2 RL01 drives (one may not be functional)
1 RL02 drive
1 Fujitsu Winchester drive (probably around 75 MB)
2 RX02 drives
1 dual RX50 drive
1 TK50 tape unit
I believe all the cabinets are original DEC. The main cabinet is a "DEC
DataSystem" rack about 5.5' tall. The RL02 and the Winchester are housed in
a DEC cabinet about 3 to 4 ft tall. Finally there is the "desk" which holds
the floppies.
