Yup... but an RK05F, RK05J and PDP11/23 cpu in 11/03 5' corporate
cabinet with RLV11J and 32mb of memory will blow a 15 AMP 110 AC
breaker quite nicely, thank you. 8-)

Ran them all in my kitchen with RT11v4 and 5 back in the old days.
I'd swap my Win9x desktop for one any day. I got much more enjoyment
out of the RT11 system than almost anything else but VAX/VMS and
FreeBSD Unix.
