I have been offered an old DEC pdp 11/2 system very cheap. It consists of
one pdp 11/2 CPU board with math chip, 2 2 si/o + 32k boards, a non-DEC floppy
disk controller in an 8 slot double wide card cage. It also has rt-11 v.4 & 5
plus some disks marked VMS.
The problem is that I know very little about these boards and rt-11. I
would like to play with the though (and the price is right).
Questions:
1) Can this board be updated to use virtual memory (I would like Unix)
2) How inexpensive are hard disk controllers?
3) Where can I get manuals?
4) Does anyone support the software and where can you get more software?
5) What services does DECUS provide its members?
Any general comments about this board would be greatly appreciated!
P.S. Who sells used DEC equipment?
