Random question
would you prefer having, if you had to pick only one, the original PDP
11/70 or the newer "blue cabinets" PDP 11/70, ...
I think the decdatasystem 570 is pretty, but coloured like an ice-cream
parlour.
I prefer the darker motif of the standard 11/70 posed with a string of RP06
drives, much like the original cover of the PDP-11/70 processor handbook, I
think that remains iconic for the "biggest" PDP-11 (biggest for the SSI
logic implementations of the mid-1970s).
