I also started out learning computer hardware on the PDP 11/45 at Maynard.
The only thing hard about the class was trying to figure out what those
hyroglyphics were that described somehow the internal workings of the thing
:). Hardware repair was pretty much limited to putting tape on one of the
board gold fingers so it didn't make proper contact when the board was
reinstalled.
I was looking for somrthing more along the line
of an 11/34 but you
gott'ya take what comes your way.
Yep... As I've said to a few people : "I'd not recomend a PDP11/45 as you
first -11, an 11/05 or something is a lot easier to start out with. But
_I_ started on an 11/45 because that's what I was offered".
