2.5L

The PDP-8I was about that size and that was a year or two later than
the -9. The -9 has to be bigger.
< You sure about that?? We had a PDP-9 running some Radio station Automat
< equipment and the actual PDP unit was that one 'silver' box in the pictu
< Our other racks were the tape players and interface boards.
Everyone thought the 8I was 13" high(size of front pannel) but the
box/backplane was nearly three times that. Anyhow the size of front
pannels are often deceptive.
