PDP-11/34 and PDP-11/73

[maxfli]

The hard disk was a Control Data 9766 300mb cartridge drive. I have access to the drive, and can add it to the bundle, but it weighs 560 lbs and is the size of a washing machine, so I did not pick it up initially. Is there a market for such a drive?

@Commodus_Imperator which system was this drive connected to the pdp11/73 or the pdp11/34?

No fair! I'm in MN - how'd you get one (or more) of our PDPs down in Texas?

I wonder if your ATEX machine came from the Mpls Star-Tribune? I'm pretty sure they ran those there.

Both were from the now-defunct Houston Computer Museum. The 34 was initially from the Deseret News in Salt Lake City.

It was for the 34. The Atex 34 was a highly specialized newspaper editing machine that originally cost 200k to 400k.

If anyone is interested, please make an offer here on VCFED and not Ebay. There will be a significant discount if they are bought here

The PDP-11/73 has been sold, along with the Fujitsu hard disks. The rack, RL02, and tape drive are still available
