But will a APPLE II or PDP 11 last another 40 or 50 years?
Some how the PDP 8 is as strong as ever.
I ran a uVAX-II at home from 1986 to 2007, and last time I
tried to fire it up, it DID run the power-on self tests OK.
I am trying to get some gear at this VCFMW so I can assemble
a (more) portable system to demo VMS at the next VCFMW.
That KA630-AA is now 39 years old, and was powered on
continuously for 21 years.
