RevSpace, the hackerspace I'm a regular at, will have it's open day next saturday. I will be exhibiting my PDP-11/84 and possibly work on some other retro hardware as part of this.

Perhaps I'll attempt to repair my 11/44, or show off the VAX-11/750 I keep around there.

They do require visitors to sign up to help load balance the tours of the hackerspace, so check the link below.

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.
