Interfacing with a PDP-11/05

This article describes how to interface a PDP-11/05 over serial line to a modern PC.

While this is normally the easiest thing of the world on a later PDP-11 (connect PDP-11 and PC with nullmodem cable, choose right baudrate, power ON), on the '05 it took me many (hobbyist-) weeks to get it right.
