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?
