Hi,
A big thanks to all who replied to my request for takers for the old
PDP-11 systems I have. I'm afraid I haven't been able to respond to
everyone yet as there's been a lot going on but I appreciate the
enlightenment on some of the aspects of the machines.
To be honest I really know very little about the PDP-11 and I had
hoped to learn more though these, so my MicroVAX II was a best guess
based on trying to match the hardware up to images on the web.
I will try and get back to all who expressed an interest with more
detailed information on the configuration and better pictures.
Of course a PDP-11 is not a MicroVAX, and vice versa.
Looking at the pictures, the only thing really worth saving would be
the chassis shown with a keyboard next to it. One can see a floppy
disk drive, and a hole where a hard disk drive probably was once. If
there is a nameplate on the front, it is not readable in the picture.
A picture of the rear panel would help in further identification, as
well as a reading of any nameplate data on the rear panel.

New subject: [pups] [Available NL] Several PDP-11's (really! ; -) and VAXen available!
All,
I have to seriousy shrink the collection, and so will be parting
with with at least:
- two 11/34's
- one 11/94
- one 11/84
- up to 6 RL02's
- up to 20 (Micro)VAXen (3100 series) plus storage units
- up to 10 VAX-4000 series units (yes, DSSI disks included ;-)
Also available is a BIG load of StorageWorks (BA35x series) units,
with disks, a load of DEC network gear, and, if I dive into it, I
should also have some spare DEC boot servers (MOP loaders) ..
Small stuff could be shipped, the heavy stuff wont be, as carriers
usually WILL break em..
Cheers,
Fred
