* PDP-11/34 (RX211)
* PDP-11/23 (Various weird ADCs, an AED50 drive controller and drive  
chassis)
	-- Emulates an RX02 and an RL02; can format RX02 disks (!!!)
	-- full developer documentation for ADCs (ADAC Corporation)
* PDP-11/23+ (RQDX2) - used for controlling ventillation at Carleton U.
* PDP-11/73 (RQDX3, some SMD controller, RXV21, an ESDI controller),  
4MB RAM
	-- Runs RSTS/E
* PDP-11/23 (RQDX3, weird display card) -- ran a Sonotherm Ultrasound  
Device

RX02 (without rack rails), cabling included
Fujitsu M2322K, in the rack
DEC H960 rack

CDC 9-Track Drive (The only non-functional bit -- it seems it has a  
dead PSU)

Various drives are installed in machines, ranging from 100+ MB ESDI  
drives
(for the 11/73) to 10-25 MB hard disks (11/23s).

Plessey dumb terminal (faux VT100)


All cabling I can find (various serial cables, drive interconnection  
cables,
even power cables!) are included.

Boxes and boxes of 8" floppy disks. Some even unopened!

Various manuals (ADCs, RT-11 V4.00 manual set, complete with quick  
reference
manuals, various memory/board manuals)

All hardware was fully functional (unless otherwise noted), and booted  
to an
OS when last powered on!
