Well, I have to get all mine running first... ;-) Seriously, though, I'm looking at several years of work to get them all running. (And there are also various peripherals to do, like tape drives, etc.) And then there's the project Dave B and I have to creat new blinkenlitz panels (not to mention SD-card based mass storage to replace those cranky old disk drives for every-day running, the original purpose before the blinkenkraze hit us :-) for the PDP-11's... Seriously, though, like all hobbies, it's primarily to amuse me, not to create anything useful. And it's _very_ successful at that. Noel
