Subject: PDP 11/23 for sale on Ebay
There's a nice, working PDP 11/23 with 20 meg hdd and 1meg (!!) of ram,

1MB RAM isn't exactly huge for a MicroPDP-11, though it's quite ample 
for a KDF11 machine. The most interesting thing about it is that it's 2 
512k M8067 boards, which from my experience are rather uncommon, and can 
fetch a pretty penny, as they're a bit faster than the M7551's.
I'm not sure why people are balking at the price though, $900 seems 
about right for a MicroPDP11, given how versatile and integrated those 
machines are. It's hard to get much more PDP11 in a smaller form factor, 
and having drives in the chassis itself really helps keep the space 
usage down. Much more practical than an 11/03 and pair of RL02's.
Looks like a really nice machine, worth picking up for those needing 
more PDP11's in their life.
Cheers,
Josh Rice
