The NYC Resistor hacker collective recently got an old PDP-11/34 up and running again.
We rescued two PDP-11/34 computers and their associated equipment from a storage unit in the Bronx and have been working on getting them running again. The computing system included multiple RK05 hard drives, two RL02 decpack drives, a TU11 tape drive and tons of media, including “digitized monkey brains“.
Unsurprisingly, the operating system is not y2k compliant.
