I saw this in the usenet in alt.sys.pdp11, and I am unfortunately too far
away to get it myself... Anyone here?

>11/24, 5 full enclosures, 9 RA-81 disk drives, 1 RA-80, 2 RLO2, and about
>(literally) 30 RLO2 Pacs. All were crushed due to lack of interest. When I

>or three more VTs (if memory serves, VT320s). I might have 1 more RA80
