Didn't
know an 11/60 was going on the trash block; those systems are RARE.
And they were one of two 11's that could actually be microcoded in the field...
Wasn't the writeable control store an option for the 11/60 as well? I
seem to remember that the 11/60 I did a couple of minor repairs on didn't
have this board.
Incidentally, if you're short of space, it's just possible to get the
11/60 CPU backplane into a BA11-K. You need the later (32A) H7441
regulators, and a second BA11-K for memory/IO, but it will work.

The folks at Reuters supposedly used the WCS to make the 11/60 the
worlds fastest PDP8. (Wonder if the SIM PDP8 or the PDP8 emulator Doug Jones
would be faster on a Pentium class pc).
