I believe the HT-11 distributed by Heath was a modified version
of RT-11, but standard RT-11 did and does work on the H-11.

I have still never seen anyone on the list post any info on
good places in the Chicago area to find computer goodies....
Either there aren't many people on the list familier with this area, or
there aren't any good places in this area (hard to believe due to the
population), or the people who know are keeping it to themselves...
I've lived here all my life and I still don't know if a good surplus
computer store around here...anyone with any ideas?
thanks.

Along that same vein, does anyone know any GOOD places for discarded computer hardware in
the DFW area??

There's American Science and Surplus which is out on the outskirts of
Chicago on Milwaukee(sp?), they also have a few branches scattered around
the suburbs. I'm vacationing in Chicago for a few days at the end of the
month and would like to know any other places that have anything as well.
You'd think there'd be tons of surplus computer places around that area,
what with Argonne, FermiLab, Newark Electronics, and Motorola all living
near.

The bad thing is with all that industry and potential for lots of excess,
the scrappers get a lot of it direct and strip it for various reclaimables.
Which brings up a though for people further south in IL...There is a
scrapper in Urbana IL that does much the same and I've seen PDP's, IBM 6262
printers, Univac remotes and all sorts of heavy items go through there back
when I lived there up until 93. I used to go parts searching for my truck
and didn't really have the room or need for classics then but anyone that is
in the area of C-U and want to explore a possible venue should go to I-74 at
Lincoln and go north on Lincoln just across the road from the UPS center. I
forget the name of the yard but they charge by the pound rather than by what
they think they can get for it. If you check into what they have in the big
building up front you migth find interesting stuff on a regular basis.

Not to mention old copies of 'Mosaic'!
Ahhhh...the graphical browser that everybody else
copied...used it for quite a while until finally switching to
Netscape, as Netscape 2 was too crash-prone on the systems I was
running at the time. I switched back and forth between Mosaic and
Lynx, if I was in my dial-up shell.

You're not there maintaining it! That maintenance doesn't automatically happen

It's like going from FORTRAN II to FORTRAN 77, with all the new code wondering why
the old code can't handle block-structure as well as character arrays.

There's plenty of college excess I'm sure. Just downtown you have
Northwestern, UICC, Loop, etc. They usually have a surplus sale every so
often or channels to find out where it all goes. The City of Chicago itself
is full of more waste than many other governments as when ever anyone's
relative has something to sell, the one in office helps the contract along
and the old goes to charity, dumps, scrappers, open sales by the pallet,
etc.
