The easy way
to tell a quad pdp11 board from a quad pdp8 board is to
look at the top and see if it's got metal ejector handles or plastic
"flip chip" style handles. pdp11 boards have a metal spine and metal
ejector handles, pdp8 boards have the plastic handles.
Well, that starts me on the way to identifying the box of boards I picked
up today. Except are you sure the plastic handled boards only go in the
8's?
Nono, definitely not. Please don't miss the retraction that I just sent to
the list. I don't know where my mind was. Numerous quad-width Unibus boards
(the DL11-W comes to mind, as does the pdp11/34's KY11-LB front panel control
board) have plastic handles and no metal ejectors.
