Allison, for once I feel you're wrong. An 11/53 is
a distinct processor
released a few years after the 11/73 and 11/83, as a low-cost option for
office use. When it was announced (1987), it was as a J11 processor with
separate I&D space and RAM on the processor card -- which no 11/23 has.
I never heard of one having an 11/23 as shipped by DEC.
I don't think that was the point of what she was saying... I think it
was that although the *BOX* said 11/53, there was actually an 11/23
plugged into the bus. I can understand that might be the case nowadays,
with all the moving of boards and such... but I cannot believe that
DEC ever marketed a machine which said 11/53 which might contain an
11/23 processor... someone surely would have noticed and had a problem
with it...
