Some of you may remember a while back I was interested in a PDP 11. Almost got a 11/34 but the guy scrapped it before I could get it. While browsing ebay, I so happened to find a 11/04 with 4h remaining. Sniped it at the end (sorry to the two other bidders who were fighting each other) and won it for $430. I think that is the most I have ever payed for a vintage computer.
Here is the auction: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/300671695440?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2648
So, the computer itself seems in a dirty mess. Sadly it doesn't have the programmer's console, however I read up that it should have an emulated one. Only thing I am worried about is that he didn't list a M9132 card.
Trying to find information on how the system is powered. It needs a power supply correct? It's not like you have an A/C cord at the back. Won't be able to know for sure until it arrives, but what other things do I need to get it into running order?
