Teradyne PDP-11/84's

Hello,


I'm looking at the possibility of purchasing an old DEC PDP 11/84 that was
part of a Teradyne board test system.

Does anyone remember seeing/working with these systems? In particular, I'd
like to know:

1) Was it a common DEC PDP 11/84 with DEC markings, in a DEC rack, or was
it redone by Teradyne, with their markings and special enclosure?
2) Were there any special firmware modifications that would make this
difficult to use as a "regular" PDP 11/84?

I'd like to obtain a 11/84 and a 11/34 for use at home for hobby purposes,
running a mix of DEC and "other" operating systems, just for novelty.

Sorry for the lack of experience in those questions, I've had very little
experience with PDP 11's, but I do remember they were nice machines to work
with when I did have the chance. Maybe soon I'll have all the time in the
world to use one.... : )
