There's an Industrial 11 version of the -11/70, too:
http://ana-3.lcs.mit.edu/~jnc/tech/pdp11/consoles/1170IndustCenter.jpg
So the only one missing (of the early -11's) is the /45, but I wouldn't be
surprised if that existed too. I've no idea about the /20 (I don't think the
/20R counts), or the later machines without physical switch registers (/04,
/34, etc).

The paint on the front console inlay (I'm not joking :-).
Other than the /15-/20 (which do have slight hardware differences), none of
the OEM/End-User pairs have hardware differences in the circuitry that I know
of (although the /35 was _usually_ supplied in a BA11-D 10-1/2" box, and the
/40 in the BA11-F 21" - and there are rare counter-examples to this rule).

A kindly donor sent me an external numeric keypad from Data General. It
has the right keycaps and color for a DG One laptop. Model number
2568. Connection is via a 3-terminal plug; basically a miniature
stereo headphone plug.
I'll give this up to a One collector who can identify this for certain.
Otherwise, I'll probably repurpose it. FWIW, it appears to be
unsued--not even the rubber feet have dirt or wear.

I recently obtained a Mac 1K in a Mac 512K box. It does not power on, and it
smells a bit toasty. Does it require a keyboard to power on? I have a
M0110A.

Due to severe weather, the trip did not happen last week, and will not
happen this week. Tornadoes and floods are not fun, and much of the drive is
on very low roads. I will see if next week looks clear enough.

I have the same problem with a cloned MIPS machine, a Sumitomo
Sumistation SP300. The biggest problem with my machine is that the
NVRAM holds the ethernet address. If it goes flat, there seems to be
no way to reprogram the NVRAM. If you find any solution for this,
please tell me.
Aside from the now broken ethernet, the machine works fine. It?s a
25MHz R3000 with 32MB RAM. The box runs SEIUX, something like
Risc/os 4 in SVR3 mode with extra japanese localization, but adapted
to the hardware.
Some people said that some of the old MIPS machines used a M48T02
NVRAM and that you could plug the NVRAM in a SPARCstation to restore
the ethernet address. So far, I have found no mentioning of the DS1287.
A special problem with my machine is that most parts are soldered,
including the NVRAM.

While digging for a KY11-LB for a fellow list member, I came across a few
operators panels and programmer panels for 8-As. Sorry, I don't remember
the part numbers. I have extra M8315s, M8316s M8316s, and a bunch of other
8-A boards. Please contact me off list if you have any interest.
Thanks, Paul

I don't want to get into a long discussion; I merely wanted to point out
that you're unlikely to find the term "gaming adapter" in Linux tech
docs as they're not written for that audience. And it's very likely that
something with the Debian kernel will be used on an OPZ.
