[HECnet] PDP Ignorance

[Steve Davidson]

The 11/83 is not as rare as the rest might be.   I purchased one (1) on Ebay a year or so ago.   It is running in a BA123 enclosure with 2MB of memory and (4) RD54's.

Although I hate to mention it... I have about 30 micro PDP 11/83's sitting in a lab right beside me; unfortunately they do not (yet... nor might they ever) belong to me... are they, in fact, "rare"?

Are the MicroPDPs (desktop, deskside, rackmount) rare beasts? They seem to be of a fairly hobbyist-friendly size, although presumably they are less expandable (much like a VAXstation versus VAXserver I would imagine)
