I haven't really decided for sure about what I want to exhibit this year. One option I've been considering is to set up one of Oscar's PiDP-11 model PDP-11/70s running 6ed UNIX to show some about early UNIX. Would there be interest in such an exhibit and would it be welcome in the group UNIX Exhibi
I would say yes. If real PDP-11 hardware can reasonably come together in time, I think everyone would love to have that, but if not, it'd still be great to see those early almost-50-year-old roots. On 2019-02-21 13:22, Ethan Dicks via vcf-midatlantic wrote:

And absent the hardware I'd say, let's see the early UNIX on whatever we can. Print a poster showing the real hardware with a banana for scale and people will understand why the PiDP-11 is there instead. ;) -- Jameel Akari
