To bad they did not make the PDP-11 as 18 bits rather than 16.
Unibus is 18-bits of addressing. ;-)
I was thinking of a mini PDP 10 in terms of Instructions.
Byte and Half word (signed) instructions only.
*TIME SHARING* was the big thing and that was the market.
It never worked for me ... $1 long distance and $1.50 for the
time share @ 300 baud off a COCO II.
PS. Do they still have the PDP 10 timesharing
around?
Yep. TOPS-10 and TOPS-20 (not to mention ITS and TENEX). I'm
hoping someday to run TOPS-10 on my 2065.
Good luck with the setup.
