Well, I've done it again.
This time, I went all ~1400 miles to San Diego. I've been saving my money
for this one, and it paid off nicely. I picked up:
* PDP-11/20 -- According to the owner, this one worked last time it was
booted (no idea when that was), and I should expect the monitor to still
be loaded in the core.
* PDP-11/20 -- Not known to be in working condition. Missing a few
switches up front and maybe a few boards inside. Basicaly, a spares
machine. The faceplate is the older one that just says "PDP11" instead of
"PDP11/20", and I'll probably transplant it to the working machine for
that reason.
* PDP-11/05 chassis -- In great condition, but with no boards. Anybody
have a set up for trade?
* TU56 -- Looks to be in great condition.
* TC11 -- Looks to be in great condition.
* DECtapes -- About 100 of them. I think there's an operating system and
a fortran compiler in there somewhere.
* A few printsets.
I'd like to find a couple of RK05 drives, maybe a PCxx paper tape
reader/punch, and their controllers to round out this system. Anybody
have any of these up for trade?
Considering that all this was free to a good home and that it fit in the
back of the Suburban I borrowed from my parents, this has turned out to
the be least expensive haul this summer. All in all, I'd say that this
summer has been very successful.
