hi all, here's asbesto from FreakNet Medialab in Catania, Italy. our pdp11/34 is still alive !!! the local mayor and the municipalty shutted down electric power in our old place. now we have a new place for our computers (here in italy we have a really bad politic situation so the municipalty hate us) the pdp11 was so cutted in parts and mounted again, and it seem working ... only a weird sound come from the rl01 disk when working. it SEEM the sound of the disk head "touching" the disk .. maybe ? the disk is ok and a copy test of all files is working. any idea ? :) p.s. soon i will ask HELP to install any kind of UNIX on this pdp11/34: we have no tape. only 8" floppy disks and the rl01 (and, of course, serial port for terminal & printer) sorry for my bad english, i'm very tired now to know more about us, http://www.freaknet.org gabriele "asbesto"
