Hi, all,

I happened to be watching the Sci Fi Channel tonight and caught the re-
broadcast of the first "Sliders" episode. Quinn has a PDP-11 in his
basement in San Francisco. It's blurry most of the time, but when he
opens a worm hole for Wade and Prof. Arturo, the distortion effect brings
the rack into visible clarity - it appears to be an RX01 or RX02 at the top
of the rack, over a BA-11N box, CPU unknown. I'm not sure, but underneath
the BA-11N, the narrow black vertical panels appear similar to the filler
plates on a MINC-11 system, but that part of the rack wasn't shown as clearly.
