Hi folks,
get some question here, so is somebody out there who can give a good answer

Hi, found this website via your comment on Sytse's site.
One remark on the PDP-11 history table: wasn't the 11/40 an earlier model
than the 11/45?

Thanks for helping

I wasn't part of the team that made it, but I've been a fan of PDP-11s (the
*real* ones, not the toy ones) for quite a while. To my knowledge the /45
was released in 1971 and the /40 was released in 1972. I can't find the DEC
documentation I used to have that would have supported this, but I imagine
it's on BitSavers (since that's where I got about 80% of my documentation
from).
Gordon Bell seems to agree, however, after a bit of digging:
