[rescue] WTB: Good 'antique' computer for education

[Ken Hansen]

I'd love a small *complete* LSI-11 with all the
trimmings please, just for the geek value...

Though my Pro-350 is nice, I like the idea of the
LSI-11, ever since I saw the H11 system (Heathkit
re-packaged LSI-11 system)...

Intellectually, I know the Pro-350 is a better
machine, but I like the look of the early LSI-11
cards/boxes, etc...

(Still waiting for my single-port terminal server to
get the Pro on my home network ;^)
