For people who appreciate good engineering

Good engineering is good engineering.
The tools just changed.

So we want to send you one of the great ones — a working replica of the machine that started it all.

So we want to send you one of the great ones — a working replica of the machine that started it all.

The PiDP-11 — a faithful replica of the 1975 PDP-11/70. Yes, it actually boots.

In 1975, the PDP-11/70 was the best tool an engineer could get their hands on.

The people who built on it shaped everything that came after — Unix, C, the entire lineage your team still works in today.

The instinct hasn't changed. The tools have.

Fifty years on, the frontier moved again. The hardest problems in engineering aren't about clock speed anymore — they're about understanding how your org actually ships, and putting AI to work on the parts humans shouldn't have to.

That's the tool we're building at Span.

01

You get the craft

If a hand-soldered PDP-11/70 on your desk sounds good, we already speak the same language.

The tools moved on

From front-panel switches to AI that reads your engineering org and tells you where it's stuck.

So here's a thank-you

No demo required. We
just think the right people should have one of these.
On us.

Send me the blinkenlights.

Tell us where to ship it. That's the whole ask.
