  Maybe the newsgroup died of boredom - the last posting was April 25th.

  Any CPU with 124Kw of parity memory, KW11-L clock, DL-11 console, EIS,
and an RM02/03/05/80, RP04/05/06, RD31/32/51/52/53/54, RK06/07, RL01/02,
or RA60/70/80/81/82/90 disk.

  That means the PDP-11/23/24/34/35/40/45/50/53/55/60/70/73/83/84/93/94,
by the way. I believe that only excludes the PDP-11/04/05/10/15/25, which
leaves you a _large_ number of choices 8-).
