Rescuing two PDP-11 systems in UK from a former big British Telecom underground shelter in central London ???

Damn - whow:-)

Thumbs up you are able to do this !
👍👍👍

IDK for how long, but i read/saw some news about the location that it will be put back to use for the public after all those years.

It would be cool if you post some pictures here about the config / installed boards of the Qbus systems:-)
 
I'll give a more detailed inventory later when I have stripped the systems down. In essence it is two 11/23 chassis each with additional qbus expansion chassis and a fujitsu 8" SMD hard disk for each machine. I had top leave the two Cipher 1/2 inch tape drives and 19" racks there.

I'm a writer for New Scientist magazine, and I've been delving into the world of old computers and software recently: https://www.newscientist.com/articl...er-systems-still-relying-on-decades-old-code/

I'd love to chat to you about these PDP-11s if you have time?
