I like dumpster diving for old tech around UCD campus time to time. I've gotten a Quicksilver out of it last year, so I've only become more addicted!
But today outside the engineering building I spotted a Stella CIM PDP-11 siting on top of an old fridge. It looks out of place beside the 2002 era Dells. I googled it to discover it was used in the 70's for c programming and compiling, even used to make Atari games in some instances. It influenced the x86 architecture yada yada...
Basically, is it worth saving? I notified the little computer museum on campus.
Any info on this item would be appreciated. Cheers!
