Yes! Keep the big iron traffic coming! Along with the other cool tech stuff, of course. Just beginning to 'wake up' a little bit from a long 8-to-9 year hobby dormancy driven mostly from a busy engineering career and appreciate reading such activity. So once I retire in late 2023 or so, I'll be hungry for activity and may discuss some stuff on my PDP 11/73, PDP 11/34A, couple of 11/23s, VAX11/730 (_lots_ of work needed, but still, Ye True Olde Iron), DG NOVA 1200, IBM 9370-75 (S/370 on silicon, but still big), smaller industrial machines: VMEbus & PC104 stuff, other fun stuff in addition to vintage radios -my true passion. Lurking for now... Just hope I have time for it all till I go 'blue screen' :-) Keep at it, Dave S.! Best regards, -Chris F. On 3/15/2022 1:54 PM, Dave McGuire via vcf-midatlantic wrote:

The RK05 bootup was in fact on an 11/03, not the 11/05. And it was on a door :). That machine had an RK05 and an RX01 IIRC. Had a VT52 as a console.
Wow ok. My memory is fading. I remember hanging out there when you were working on one of those systems, with maybe an RK11-D sitting bare in its backplane lying on that door.
(Everyone else on the list I'm sure cares gobs about this :)
I'd bet they probably do, actually. Don't forget what list you're on. ;) There's not much big iron traffic in this crowd (despite my best efforts), but there's some.
