Oh, yeah! NOW I remember what an 11/05 is, the really
short (3U?)
machine with the single-line front panel. YES, for some reason I was
thinking of the 11/20 or whatever the first model was. You are
certainly right about it being microcoded including the front panel
control. I did work on an 11/05 about 1980 or so. We moved up to a
used 11/45 and then got a VAX 780.
Oh, so a giant step backwards...
