Bob: I have not found any Gould software yet but last night I found a
packet of all the UTX-32 documentation on microfiche. When you are ready
for it, let me know how to mail it to you.

There are some new scans up now for 32/75 on bitsavers.org/pdf/sel and some
software
under bits/SEL
I'll be working on MPX documentation next

Yes. The 8 & 9 machines were ECL, the rest were TTL. IIRC, those were the
32/87, 9780, PN9600.
David mentioned disks on the PN (Unix) series. Those were formatted with
multiple of 512 byte sectors. The RTM/MPX machines used 768 byte sectors,
which was super optimal for the disks they happened to

Ah, yes, "The Magic Roundabout" - was three 6040s and one 9080. I still
possess the Gould nameplate from the 9000.
They were the last machines we had t

I wonder if the machines in the auction had this?

I have been given an lot of SEL software and documentation, along with a

Now, I need to get off my butt and put it all on line.
Thank you for saving the system, Bob.

First released in '72, if memory serves.
It was in production for a _long_ time, though - no later model really
replaced it (if you wanted a mid-sized machine with a lot of crunch), unlike
many of the other -11's (e.g. /05, /

$4500! Is it likely a collector or someone that would be using these things
somewhere?
I don't know my PDP stuff well.. the 11/45 is from around the early 70s right?

1972 I think. It's a very nice machine, all TTL (over 1000 ICs in CPU, MMU
and floating point processor). I suppose the 11/70 is even more fun
(with 22 bit addressing, etc) but the 11/45 is one of my all-time favou

Looks like one person got both the 11/45s for $4500 total. Too much for me, but
that didn't seem like a bad deal.
