I forgot to mention the most amazing part of the whole story: he first acquired the machine while he was a student (I think?) at CMU, decades ago, and has been dragging it around the country with him ever since! He's also had to do a tremendous amount of work on it to get it running, starting with building an entire new power harness. He's also had to find and fix a long list of failures, all over the machine; there were bad chips on almost every board in it. Fritz has written most of the whole adventure up: http://fritzm.github.io/category/pdp-11.html it's an incredible story. Noel
