Looking for PDP-11 Equipment

Hi, everyone. :-)

    I'm looking around for businesses that sell new or used DEC
equipment...and a little bit of help as well, since I don't yet know
PDPs as well as I'd like to. ;-)
    I'm in the process of getting a PDP-11/23+ which has no hard disks
or tape drive. The computer itself comes with a few cards, but most of
them I'm not sure what I can do with.

    The cards that come with the system are:

    M8190 (11/73 processor)
    Emulex M8087 (No one has been able to find out what this board
is...wrong numbers?)
    Berg M8020 (Single-line serial EIA sync interface)

With that in mind, what do I need to get the system to the point where
it will boot? I know what the processor card will do, but what about
the others?

Thanks in advance,
Chris
