Hmm ... a nice machine -- certainly for that price.

The "Level 11 Programming Manual", in combination with the 1979
original purchase date suggests that it is run from a LSI-11 CPU. Not
sure whether those are steppers or servos on it -- the images are not
that good. :-)

If I had room, I would be very tempted.



If it was closer, I'd take it, but I'm about 1000 miles away.. I
have a stash of memeory borads, and possibly some other PDP-11 boards in
storage.
