I have two systems that I have finished restoring that I would consider for
trade for either an older PDP 8 or some negibus peripherals.

Both CPUs are running and very happy.

The PDP 11/05 has 16K core memory (2X H214) and has a KW11-P (real time
clock) in it.It runs well. I really like 11/05's!!! This unit comes with a
copy of the engineering docs, as well as the 11/05 computer manual (theory).

The PDP 11/45 (runs, yes... really). I restored this CPU back in '86. I am
just moving the PDP 11/45 CPU and console serial port. It comes with one
supply and boots RT-11V5 (so it has been well tested) . This CPU is FAST
compared to a 34. You have to run your own BA11 memory box... I might be
convinced to part with some MOS memory and backplane for the right deal.
This PDP 11/45 was really a pain to restore as I had no documents on it and
spent the better part of two days scoping the inital problems. I have seen
engineering docs go on EBay so finding them is not a problem anymore.


Cash is always welcome.

If a deal can't be struck then I'll be dropping these beasts on EBay.

I am trimming my collection so these two have to go.

P.S. I picked up a Nova 2 yesterday with Diablo drives, 6 boxes of
documentation, 5 big boxes of paper (RDOS, fortran, algol, basic, etc...),
kennedy tape drive, graphics generator, and of course a "Ken-Net" box to
network it to a PDP. I think I have every paper tape/document ever made for
this system.

PDP - 8/S - I picked up the rest of the documents on it including - PC0 tape
unit, PT08, floating point, the original "Flip Chip modules manual - rev. 1
, '65" and "Flip Chip Modules Seminar" as put on by DEC in 1965. The system
is running everything and is very happy.

Reading about how the Flip Chips were made was absolutely amazing.... (many
pictures).
