Re: Can't wait
I had a working MicroVax (model 3100-80 with two SCSI hard drives) for quite a while in the early 2000s, even using it as a web server with NetBSD running on it. Then I acquired a PDP-11 from the same place - both had been standbys for when similar machines had been installed at client sites for warehouse automation. Never did get the PDP working, so I sold it. When the guy came to collect it he took one look inside and pointed out that the card I had assumed was the RAM was in fact some kind of controller board. Doh.
