Subject: Re: DEC boards unearthed - I have some info
Actually I have one... It says 11/05 on a 10 1/2" box (one of the first
knocked out). I will be putting pictures of it up on my website with the
8/s, honeywell, 34,45,73,accuray,etc...
Yes, it is. It was called the 11/05 in 72 but later docs called it the
11/10.
Hmm... I've seen 5.25" boxes with both 11/05 and 11/10 nameplates on the
front (no, not on the same machine :-)). I think the only 10.5" one I saw
was an 11/10, but I'd happilly believe in the existance of a 10.5" 11/05
I tend to regard the 11/05 and 11/10 as the same machine. Same boards,
same boxes, etc. Ditto for the 11/35 and 11/40. Even DEC got fed up with
the dual numbering scheme later on (the 11/39 was going to be the
end-user version of the 11/34, and some early manuals mention it. AFAIK
it never existed. Ditto for the 11/09).

collect?
I've got a working 5.25" 11/05 here. And another one that's much hacked.
Got a couple of Omnibus 8's....
> I am trying to find blank backplanes for the old flipchip modules (r
series)
What's special about them? Don't R series fit any DEC connector blocks?
You said you want them blank, so can't you unwrap some other backplane?
No, I was hoping for one with the usual power strips already attached. I
have enough r-series spares to design the intel 4004 with flip chips.
