A restored PDP-11/83 serving this page on 211BSD Unix
3 hours ago
- A restored PDP-11/83 system with a Mentec M11 CPU and 2.11BSD is serving the live page.
- CPU and memory are combined on a single board, with webtop reporting physical RAM usage and swap.
- Two Q-bus chassis are interconnected, with controllers for storage, Ethernet, and serial I/O.
- The kernel includes a native C compiler, TCP/IP networking, and a small HTTP server with a live activity panel.
- Storage comprises RA82/RA92 MSCP disks, MFM hard disk, RX50 floppies, RL02 drives, and TKZ50 tape.
- Networking uses DEQNA Ethernet and serial terminals, with a cached webtop snapshot for performance.
- System boot can be from MSCP disk or RL02, with backup to TKZ50 and console ODT diagnostics.
