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:
https://revspace.nl/OpenDag2026

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.

@catileptic have you been to @revspace? It is a hacker space, quite queer (but also quite male), well-equipped for both making physical stuff and for extensive conversations on technical and political subjects - lots of cool people with lots of know-how

The website (revspace.nl) is in dutch, but ~everyone speaks english too

If you want to check it out, the easiest way is to join #revspace on libera IRC (or via https://web.libera.chat/#revspace) and ask for a tour of the space

@rmartinnielsen @mos_8502 @revspace Yesterday during the #BadgeTeam meering we also mentioned the storage choice in component cases from #Revspace
Those cases from TME work very well.
