<I'd really love to find a MicroPDP 11/23+, or possibly even just
<a regular PDP 11/23, with disks and an OS to play with. I do
<miss playing with octal!
They are common enough keep looking. Typically they will have RD52->54
disks (30-159mb), rx50 floppy and plenty of serial io. Boards are common
enough and generally free to cheap. if your real lucky you may find a
copy of RT-11 on the disk or with the machine. Docs are always handy.
<for nostalgia reasons having to do with school: I'd love to find a
<DECStation 5000/200 with Ultrix 4.3a. Those were are main campus UNIX
You might find a DECstation 3100 with ultix easier. Or a VS2000 or
Microvax-II with ultrix.
<Actually, I think that's about it for the "realistic" wishlist at the
<moment. Of course, I'd adore having a PDP8, 8/E, 8/I, or 8/M to play
<with, but space and power restrictions kind of prevent it at the moment.
<Ah, perhaps later.
Find a DECmate-II or III it's mostly PDP-8 and real small.
