Snip!
I believe the 11/15 is the OEM version of the 11/20 - the first ever
PDP11. Don't worry about the 'OEM' bit - the only difference seems to
have been what was included when you ordered the machine from DEC. Both
versions could take the same peripherals, etc.
Really what kind of
"flaming" blower are you talkign about? That one
that sounded like jet?
This one apparently dates from about 1970, and is probably incomplete.
There was talk of a rack, the PDP11/15 itself, some RKO5 disk drives and
An RK05 is a front-loading 2.5Mbyte (!) hard disk. I find them pretty solid
and reliable (apart from the blower fans, which seem to break down and
catch fire!), and have no problems maintaining them. Even head replacements are possible.
Really? I did not
know that new heads can be had. Nice!
Is that either internal or removeable that uses same DECPACK
cartidge? And to hook up uses spring loaded screw to snug up the
connections to PDP unit?
Cool discussions of chips...snip!
Oh gad, I had the VT220 too! Geez.
