At least I doubt it will be getting recycled anytime soon. I was watching the auction because I thought I might bid. Silly me. :-) With 15 minutes to go, it was $595. At 10 minutes it was up around $1200. The last 2 minutes were something to watch as the price jumped to $2000, then $2400, $2700, $3700 and higher. The last 15 seconds saw the price soar through the $4000's and nearly make it to $5000. By then, I was hoping to see it that $5000 mark but it fell just short. -- John H. Reinhardt

Re: Vax/pdp on ebay
I need one for an 11/83 (if I can get my CPU board to run). It's on my "to do" list to try to 3-D model one for FMD or resin printing. -- John H.

Re: Vax/pdp on ebay
I have a BA23 pedestal 11/83 and it's a really nice form factor for a pdp11. The CPU in that box can take PMI memory but it looks like it's configured with conventional memory based on the location of the processor board. On 3/5/2021 10:13 AM, John H.
