Should be...can you reach 61.4?
Because if so, it really should be on the front page of the website...
Maybe, but only after I "pretty it up" a bit. It only got mounted in
that rack last night (before that it was stacked up on a table) and it's
not in its permanent configuration.

Not exactly quality portraits, but you get the idea. ;) I can take
some better ones if you guys are interested in some quality DECporn. ;)
I'd enjoy some quality DECporn. :p
Ok, you asked for it. NOTE WELL that I just unloaded the last truck
from moving into this building, and things are a HUGE MESS. I am making
progress, but I'm busy at work and there's a LOT of stuff in here. You
have been warned.
PDP-11/70, still partially disassembled from exhibiting it at VCF-East
in May:
http://www.neurotica.com/misc/DECporn/DSC_0781.JPG
DECsystem-2020, peeking out from behind a Cray J90 I/O cabinet.
There's another DECsystem-2020 next to it, hidden from view, but you can
just make out the nameplate through the J90's rear door grille:
http://www.neurotica.com/misc/DECporn/DSC_0782.JPG
Row of racks containing two PDP-8/es, an 8/a, an 11/24, an 11/23, an
11/50, an 11/34, and a few other things, partially obstructed by a rack
of RA90s:

The VAX-7000 that I mentioned here a few days ago:
http://www.neurotica.com/misc/DECporn/DSC_0784.JPG
Tape racks a few big (newer) Suns, the PDP-11/53 on the far right, and
the (modern) production network facing the camera at the back of the room:

FPS AP-180V (VAX version of the famed AP-120), and a VAX-11/750:

VAX-11/730, MicroVAX-III, PDP-11/44, with a Dataram-boxed 11/73 up
top, with Cray J90, Cray SV1, VAX-4000/700a, and another big Sun machine
in the background, Symbolics LispMachine monitor atop short racks, 11/84
chassis obscured on far right:

Heath H-1 analog computer, Genicom line printer, stack of VT50s and
VT52s, Cray YMP-EL98 in background, some RL02s, IBM System/36, etc:

Unrelated: but if you ever want an interesting and absolutely useless task, you should try and set that up as a fuzzball. I found a bit of a "guide" but couldn't get it working in simh, could prove challenging to get the files to real disks though.

Hello!
Don't laugh folks. At one point I actually wanted an LSI-11 here to
work with. Then I ran out of space.... Now I'm interested in this
thing:
Models without standard bus
PDT-11/150
PDT-11/110
PDT-11/130
PDT-11/150
The PDT series were desktop systems marketed as "smart terminals". The
/110 and /130 were housed in a VT100 terminal enclosure. The /150 was
housed in a table-top unit which included two 8 inch floppy drives,
three asynchronous serial ports, one printer port, one modem port and
one synchronous serial port and required an external terminal. All
three employed the same chipset as used on the LSI-11/03 and LSI-11/2
in four "microm"s. There was an option which combined two of the
microms into one dual carrier, freeing one socket for an EIS/FIS chip.
The /150 in combination with a VT105 terminal was also sold as
MiniMINC, a budget version of the MINC-11.
I abstracted the text from this Wikipedia page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDP-11 .
I figured that of all of the machines we know that one is least well
known. I'm not sure what I can do with any of them, but I certainly
hope I could manage something appropriate to what we are discussing.
Incidentally Dave I'm still waiting.
Outside your place are a van of frustrated yetis and related
individuals in a brown van who're waiting and watching.

I ran it in the early 1990s, but I don't remember a damn thing about
it. If you could share the guide you found, I'd appreciate it.
Not extremely detailed, but you're more knowledgable about PDP-11 OSes than I am ;). It at least mentioned where to grab the files.

Getting the files to real disks shouldn't be that tough.

Yes. This, run just now, is running on an Alpha running VMS v8.3, the

I could part with some form of Qbus PDP-11, possibly, but it won't be
cheap. (I'm in acquisition mode, and this stuff is drying up fast)
