The DEC PDP-11 series was a system that I dreamed (but not seriously)
about owning 40 years ago.  One of my labs at Ga. Tech in 1972 used
that system.  There were many variations possible, but IIRC the one
I would have liked was something like $20,000 1972 dollars ($100,000
today).

I still wouldn't mind coming across an old 1977 Heath H-11 system with
floating point capability.  It was functionally a PDP-11/40 in a much
smaller (and at "only" $1300 for the basic CPU, cheaper) package than
most DEC PDP-11 configurations.  Who could ever use up all of the 32K
of 16-bit RAM and 256K 8-inch floppy storage that a complete H-11 system
offered?

Good luck!
