Either way, you could use it for many things not just an 11/05. The "stock" 11/05 NC would have had a different box. It would have to have been for an 11/05 S model. b

RE: Almost PDP 11/05 on Ebay
A guy recently contacted me that had an 11/05 for sale, stating his first preference was it go to a museum and if that failed, he wanted to sell it. I sure hope he's not parting it out on ebay Please don’t email me about it... if the museum he's currently talking to doesn't take it, I'll post it as 'equipment available' here. Best, J
