Ethan Blanton on Nostr: A couple of PDP-11s and a VT-105 terminal (with photobomb by Model 28 #Teletype gear) ...
A couple of PDP-11s and a VT-105 terminal (with photobomb by Model 28 #Teletype gear) to brighten your evening.
This is shortly after I got a #pdp11 online; at this point, one of the two RX02 drives worked reliably, the RL01 and RL02 were good, and I _thought_ the CPU and backplane was in good shape (I later learned there was a NPR chain problem on RX211backplane slot), and a lot of software ran correctly.
The rack on the right is … not suitable for this use.
