Spent some time this monday preparing the machine including installing 2.11BSD to the M2322 hard drive, as my DIY disk emulator showed some reliability issues at #why2025 . I'm still in the process of applying the latest updates to the system, as rebuilding kernels and part of the userland on a 1MB RAM, less than 1 MIPS system takes a fair bit of time.
Once I'm done updating the system, it will be at patch level 499 - the latest available for #211bsd , released on January 14th 2026!
If you want to play around with this system, visit the open day at RevSpace The Hague next saturday:

I will be attaching a few physical terminals to it (including a VT55 and VT100!) as well as allowing telnet from the local network.
Besides this, if you do visit and want to trade PDP-11 parts, I have a large collection of mostly QBUS cards that I want to part with, and am looking for PDP-11/84 (PMI) and PDP-11/44 (EUB) memory boards as well as spare CPU cards for the /44.
