Personally it looks to me as if the seller is very clueful, especally if
they get the manual pic's up. I don't see anywhere, where they're listing
RK05's as tape drives, though I do see a DECcassette drive. They say a
picture is worth a thousand words, and those pic's sure speak a lot! I
wish I had room for and could afford that system!
The eBay page above has the following link
http://www.fibraplex.com/PDP8/ultimate_pdp.htm that will be of more
interest to people, especially as the auction is currently sitting at
$1200.00. And before anybody starts screaming about that price, from what
I'm seeing in the pic's that's not to bad of a price if it's a working
system (and it sounds like it should be).
