Perhaps I should ask this on the pdp11 newgroups too, but the recent
`NEwbie alert' thread seemed to get a lot of useful answers.

I'd kind of like to have a real PDP11 to run V7 and (more likely)
2.11BSD on.  It needs to be not vast (I don't think a full-scale rack
will fit up my stairs, though I know that 4ft high ones will), and not
have completely ludicrous power consumption (less than 1KW).  It needs
to be very cheap, and working or clearly possible to make work (and it
needs to be something that will run 2.11/v7).

All my other machines have been aqcuired by someone mentioning that
they had one, but I don't know anyone who has a PDP11 now.  Does
anyone know where I could look for one?

Thanks
