Okay, I obviously missed it. >> Is a /44 really worth that much now?!?! > > Hey, one just went for more than that: eBait #183624991924, $3K!

Actually, I > really need to check all the numbers. That price might have been due to the RM02 or tape drive. Mine has a 2nd rack with Dual RL02’s, as well as an RX02 and a TU58 in the main rack. I tend to think that’s likely a slightly more common config. The nice thing about mine is the SCSI adapter. I’d picked up a 3rd rack for it, with a 9-track drive, but gave that away to Jim Willing before he left town to buy a bowling alley. > But I think I'd rather get the QBUS boxes sorted out first; I pretty much > only know the BA11's.

A /73 in a BA123 makes for a *VERY* nice system, especially if you have removable SCSI disk trays. Something that comes to mind is the DECserver 500/550, it’s a PDP-11/53 with a different PROM. IIRC, it was typically in a rack-mount BA213 chassis. I think that I have at least parts for one around here somewhere. Zane
