DEC GT40. That's a PDP11/05 (with real core memory)
and a VT11 vector
display board set in a desktop case with a monitor on top and a separate
keyboard). 3 user input devices -- the keyboard, a light pen and the
lights-n-switches panel.
I wish I had one... I'm trying to get the hardware I need to at
least put a VT11 on an 11/05 or 11/34a so I can get spacewar
running... As I mentioned in a prior post, I found the DR11C
which has the original spacewar control boxes we used at WPI
back in the later 70s. I also found the source for the spacewar
we played -- written by a friend of mine who was also a student
at WPI...
