What’s your Cipher Tape Drive look like? 32k of memory won’t be that bad, what are you planning on running as an operating system? I have three or four Unibus memory cards lying around with no documentation and it’s a real drag trying to set addresses but thru trial and error was able to get a couple going. Think my 11/34 is just 28 or 32K and I run RT-11, DEC Basic and all sorts of other stuff with no issues.
People tend to get all worked up about how much memory but back in the days of those systems programs were smaller nothing like this junk today. My stupid Win7/64 workstations need 8 Gb of ram just to get started.
