Was that in the "Astromony building" on Goodwin located next to CSL?
It was not on contract with us, at least not very often. I worked on it
several times. It had 2 DB11- unibus repeaters on it, and was supposedly
the longest bus ever.

I?m not sure if that?s completely true. I remember a PDP11 (11/45
probably) at the University of Illinois, around 1975. It was used as a
terminal controller for ARPAnet. The system was called ANTS (not sure what
that stands for), and it had a custom logo panel for the top of the H960
racks, in red and yellow, showing large ants crawling all along the
cabinets.
Not allowing the logo to be changed would make sense, since that is one of
the rules of trademarks: you risk losing a trademark if you don?t use it
consistently, for example if you create or allow variations of what was
registered.
