A restored PDP-11/83 serving this page on 211BSD Unix

A restored PDP-11/83 with a Mentec M11 processor and two Q-bus chassis runs 2.11BSD to serve this page. It uses DEC and Emulex controllers, MSCP disks, RX50 floppies, RL02 drives, TKZ50 tape, and DEQNA Ethernet. The live panel shows CPU, memory, and kernel activity from the actual system.

The live panel above shows the system serving this page.

    Please do not treat it as a challenge box; I can restore from tape, but that ruins it for everyone else.

    Unfortunately, for a disturbing percentage of the Internet, ruining things for everyone else is the goal. I'd turn off telnet.

    A PDP-11 serving adverts for an AI-written site in 2026 was not on my bingo card. Imagine being brought back from the dead for that.

    this appears to just be an ad for some webpage widget-maker.

    I posted this to twostopbits.

    Community over there is small but devoted to such willful acts of restoration
