How did i get into PDP-11s?? Bought one at a thrift store in early 1990s at the time didnt know what it was except for some old neat looking big computer with a buncha RS-232 ports. Found that DM0 started the operating system, then wrote a brute force program i ran on 3 IBM XT computers trying to find the password. Did'nt find the password but the system crashed cause it ran out of disk space from logging all the failed logins. ^_^ Then i was able to look at the running program, some neat code in a language called MUMPS, the system was running Digital Standard Mumps or DSM-11. From the code i found a local tech support phone # which i called and talked to a very nice guy who thought my 'hobby was neat'. He told me i couldnt keep their software, and the medical records stored on the drive, but if i brought it in to them they'd put a fresh install of DSM-11 and give me some books to help me learn the language...
