Heathkit sold a clone, I don't remember the model number but you could attach 2
8" drives in an external cabinet and RSX-11 as I recall did run on it. I
ditched the 8" diskettes years ago and a Fortran compiler diskette. Oh
what that might bring on eBay now ;-)
We sold quite of few of these to the University of Louisville.
p.s. it was a kit but the CPU and DISK controller were pre-assembled from
Heathkit.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

The chips used (and in some cases the total CPU board) were purchased from DEC
and repackaged.
This was part of the goal of the LSI-11, to become what Intel is. A manufacturer
of CPUs.
Unfortunately, the bean counters took control of DEC and suddenly information
about and use of the various parts disappeared.
This made it difficult to develop device drivers for the VAX unless those
devices used the old UNIBUS/Qbus architecture.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
