Hi! I'm a high school student really interested in obtaining the PDP11. Could we email to discuss further?

I used to work on PDP-11s (T11 and J11 chipsets, QBus and XBus backplanes, etc...) back in the 80s, and for a short time (about a year), on VAX/VMS. Is there much call for someone to keep a PDP-11 running, such as remote access by hobbyist, etc...? I do have space to run it, though not a lot of time to "manage" it (especially if it requires continual HW fixing). I live near Toronto, Ontario, Canada. How much power does it consume?

Ah, the PDP-11. I am in high school, and would certainly be interested in the PDP-11 clone. I wouldn't mind further discussion on the topic. PM?

Interesting..... I worked for Plessey Peripheral Systems in it's PDP-11/LSI-11 clone days. I may have worked on that very system.

mister_wavey February 12 2022 I recall that the disks failed on the public access VMS systems that included Fafner
parwezw January 03 2022 Anyone know what happened to FAFNER.DYNDS.ORG? I had a hobbyist account here but can longer access the site.

MarkRLV September 17 2021 At one time, didn't this web site have a job board? I would love to use my legacy skills one last time in my career.
malmberg January 18 2021 New Hobbyist PAKs for VAX/VMS are no longer available according to reports. Only commercial licenses are reported to be for sale from HPE
