This is a bit strange isn’t it?<\/p>\n

I haven’t used any DEC kit for nearly 20 years and here I am sitting a few feet away from my latest addition, a mid ’80’s DEC PDP-11\/53 (Pictures to follow).<\/p>\n

There was a bit of confusion as to what model it really was. It was an 11\/23 for a while. Then an 11\/73, 11\/83 but now I’ve been through the boards one by one I’m pretty sure it’s an 11\/53.<\/p>\n

It’s not in the original rack or more properly the original rack has been boxed in to another rack. I was given another rack by the previous owner though on my way out which seems very generous.<\/p>\n

I’ll give it a proper entry in the main part of the site when I can.<\/p>\n
