I am coming to the conclusion that I want to let go of my DEC equipment. It is all working just fine - many thanks are owed to the fine folks in the DEC Forum who have helped me out along the way. For me, my DEC equipment is simply too complex. I am having far more fun with my IMSAI, Altair clone, and presently my Color Computer 3. I also have a variety of other systems, both working and not-so-working, waiting in the wings.
So, here goes...
Fully working PDP-11/23:
Row 1 = M8186
Row 2 = M8044 DB
Row 3 = M8044 DB
Row 4 = M7940 (console)
Row 5 = M7940 (address 17650x)
Row 6 = Emulex UC07 (SCSI Interface)
Row 7 = M7946
Row 8 = empty
Row 9 = M8012 YA
I am successfully running RT-11SJ at present from a reformatted Macintosh SCSI hard disk, and also an SCSI Zip Drive. I have to manually type in a short boot program in ODT for my Emulex SCSI interface, and then the system is able to boot into RT-11.
I paid $400.00 for the original working PDP-11/23, and I added the second M7940 ($50.00) and Emulex UC07 ($250.00)
Here are some extras that I am including in this offer:
M8043 four port serial I/O board - believed to be working, but I cannot get it to work properly in my system (CPU jumper settings?)
M8028 serial I/O port - I'm not certain if this one is working or not
M7946 RX01 8" floppy disk controller - believed to be working
M8029 RX02 floppy disk controller, 18-bit DMA only - believed to be working, but not tested in my system
M8013 RL01 disk controller, 1 of 2 - believed to be working, but not tested in my system
M8014 RL01 bus controller, 2 of 2 - believed to be working, but not tested in my system
Finally, an RX01 dual 8" floppy disk, believed to be working, but I ran out of gas trying to get it to go. It was originally sold to me as an RX02 but it turned out to be an RX01. I had a heck of a time trying to acquire the proper floppy disk interface card, and then properly formatted 8" floppy disks. When a terrific person on the forum here helped me out with formatted floppy disks, I was disappointed with my inability to cope with the complexities of DEC equipment, and tired of relying on so much help from others. I never really got back to this system, and I went on to other systems that I am more capable of understanding and handling.
Is there any interest in this working PDP-11/23 system, plus the extra boards, and the RX01 floppy disk, for $1000.00?
If you are interested at all, please send me a message and we can discuss it. I can send you some pictures and tell you my stories. You can also look up my posts in the DEC Forum.
I would sincerely prefer local pickup. This stuff is extremely heavy and packing it properly for shipment would run into the 100s of dollars, for sure.
Thanks for listening,
