I'd still rather have a PDP-10. I already have smaller -11's (11/24 w/KT11,
11/34a, 11/23+...)

Very odd. I do have 800bpi dist tapes for 11M and 11M+, as well as,
IIRC, -11M+ v2.1 on RL02 dist packs. It would be highly unlikely. I'd
rather get off my ass and pay $100 for the PUPS v7/2BSD license, even though
I also happen to have a bootable 2.9BSD install on 1600bpi tape.

What I really need is some 3rd-party UNIBUS disk controllers.

Right.
