I have a couple of them running - two 11/23 machines running PWB 1.0
(i.e. 6th edition plus various improvements), and two 11/83 machines
with 2.11BSD on them.
The 11/23 boxes are newer than 6th edition, which didn't support MSCP
devices, so some work had to be done to get that retrofitted. There are
some notes on this on my web site: https://hamartun.priv.no/ (including
links to, among others, Noel Chiappa's excellent collection of PDP-11
information).
