PiDP-11: RECREATING THE PDP-11/70

Almost 4000 PiDP-11s have gone out as of June 2022. See the PiDP-11 forum for updates.

If you want, submit your email address via the box to the right and I will keep you up to date. 

​

Leaving your contact details is not a commitment to buy the kit. I make a batch of kits every month; I will email you back within a few weeks, as soon as I have kits ready to send out. You can decide then whether you really want one. But please do reply to that email so I know spam filters have not blocked communication.

​

Price is $270 plus shipping. I apologise, because that is some $90 more than the PiDP-8. But if you knew the cost of making the injection molds, you would understand... This is still very much a hobby project.

​

Try before you buy: the software works fine on a Pi without the PiDP-11 hardware. Although you are Blinkenless and will have to boot the operating systems manually rather than through the front panel. A user manual is available for download here (link). You can open it in MS Word; as it is added to constantly there is no PDF copy yet.

​

There are some volunteers to build the kit for you at reasonable cost, if you're not able to build it yourself. Leave me a message (top right in the menu) if you prefer that option. Although it is not handled by me, by now I can confidently recommend these volunteers!
