How Many PDP-11s? All the PDP-11s!

Video Description

Ooooh boy, this one is exciting! Not because we dive into the PDP-11 we picked up in the previous episode (well, that’s pretty exciting too), but because a kind viewer reached out and hooked me up with a ton of QBUS PDP-11 stuff. The collection is absolutely staggering, and in this episode, we take an in-depth look at each card I received. Next, we need to think about what kind of system we want to build, because with all the new cards, we have some options. So check out the list of cards and let me know how you would build up your ultimate PDP-11!
