I wonder if the pdp-11 was just called pdp-11 at t that point or
was a pdp-11/20 like we have..
I know they are essentially the same at this time point they got
their PDP 11 what did it say on the front panel I wonder?
(figuring all this stuff out for titling up the cards in the 11/20
display we are planning.)
I think we had this discussion a while back, but I know that my 11/20 just
says 'PDP-11' on the front panel. I've also seen them with '11/20',
which
is almost certainly a later naming as the -11 line grew.

ok just re-clarifing.... so then w would be safe in reading the unix
history - the 11 they had since when they got it a disk was not avail. (???
REALLY!!?? Hard to believe DEC would ship a processor without disc
i/o??? COMMENTS? ) would have just probably said PDP-11
