Oh, a couple people asked my location. I'm in Vero Beach Florida.
Ive been trying to get a pdp 11 for quite a few years now, I recently found
someone selling a 11/34 with related gear in a couple of racks Here in my
state of florida. I jumped at the chance and bought it, i have not found
anything for sale this close to me before, yet alone in my state.
The plan
I take it the buried vax 11/780 you found has been sold off by now? I would
love to have one of the original larger machines such as the 780, although
one of the smaller desktop machines would probably be a more sane decision
to start off with.
Not all minis came from the States :-)
One of my favourite non-mainstream families is the Philips P800 series. It's
a 16 bit machine with 16 registers (0 is the program counter and 15
is the stack pointer, rest are mostly general purpose) and separate
I/O instructions (not memory-mapped I/O). The
thanks again. I will. I guess I should check my 4000-200 too.

ok. I will check it asap. Thanks for the info. basically this is a box
turns on and works...so I have not spent much time other than just change
the PW and access the system, connect to the internet quickly.
You're saying yes there is a battery in this machine?

Not that I doubt you but where is the DV-31BT4-A specifically referenced?
How do you know that this is the KA41-A 10 or 20?

Originally I thought it was a "30" but then I found that there are 3100-30
nameplates, so I must be wrong. Was there just a plain vanilla Microvax
3100? Now you have me thinking I need to check for a battery. I need to

Thanks, Mark. The catch here is that the guy I'm getting the stuff from
isn't going to be able to help with the packing process -- I need to hire
someone to go to his place, pick the stuff up, pack it and ship it (which
Craters & Freighters will do, for a fee...)
Thanks,
Josh

Josh,
Forward Air did OK with a pallet I shipped to Ethan D.. I drove my car
up with computers, straps, cardboard, and shrink-wrap. They pointed me at a
pallet, I took a few hours to stack computers on the pallet, pad them with
pieces of torn-up cardboard, strap them down, cocoon the who

Depending where in North Jersey, I can assist in loading/packing if anyone
needs help. I have no interest in HP stuff other than idle curiosity.

I'm so sorry, forgot to include that. I'm waiting on a phone call back from the
owner, but from what I can tell I suspect the equipment location is Northern

Hi all --
I have a full-height rack of computer stuff I need to get packed up and

but they don't have a location near enough. I'm not too familiar

Well if we're all putting down markers, I have an 11/780 and /730; I'd love
a /750 to round out the collection. I used to have one, back in mid 1990s
