I spoke a while back about two PDP-11 systems in a room next to my current work area. So far, I haven't heard anything about any long-term plans for these (we have plenty of space now and these two machines are well out of the way of the main production area). However, it looks like my area will be moved back into the main building within the next few weeks.
I had a moment and took a look at the 'spare' chassis I mentioned in my previous thread and realized the 'front panel' board was actually loose in the rack, Looking at it, I realized that it was actually one of the equipment manufacturer's boards, and a quick search on the board number turned up almost nothing useful. So, I plan to make a BOM and node list for this board so I can draw and share the schematic. Looks like it uses a literal handful of lines besides the usual +5 / +12 / ground connections.
