Groan...to have complete system needs one rack... that pretty large
by my space standards. But my eyes lits up on that 70 lights...
whew!
Actually an 11/70 in one rack would be one of the smaller
configurations. I've seen them occupy 3 and 4 racks.
Which series is most compact (sized for desktop or tower style) pdp
or vax and only needs one wall power cord to run whole thing
(including storage built in).
If you are looking for a small 11 consider one of the qbus
systems. These tend to be much smaller. You can get an
11/23 or 11/73 in a largish desk top of tower configuration.
And they even run off of a standard wall outlet! Since these
systems are more modern they use a higher level of integration,
thus giving smaller size and lower power requirements. They
are also a lot cheaper to ship!
