Bye some enormous coincidence I was just looking
through some DEC
pdp-10 brochures I have.
DEC advertised the 2020 as drawing no more power that
a hairdryer; the
quoted figure was 1400w as I recall.
Umm, are you sure about that? That was how we advertised the Toad-1 System
in the 1990s, but the Mighty Mite power supply in the 2020 draws a lot more
than that.
