?Hi friends. I am putting together a PDP-11 set up. i have a few CPUs available to me, a
11/23+, an 11/73 and I also have available to me an 11/83, M8190-AE .
I would like to try to run as many different OS's as may interest me, including some
unixes as possible (bsd...etc). My question is, are there any OSes that need the floating
point option?
Another question is, would I see any improvement in performance with the FPU compared to
without it? Or does the application running need to be something like fortran to see any
perceivable difference?
Thanks
