Also, are you just talking about the CPU, or including

I was wondering this myself. This is an interesting topic, but it might be
difficult to define a "standard" configuration for these machines. Even the
contents of the CPU boxes can vary widely. I suspect that many on this list
are like me and tend to limit what what boards are in our CPU's to just what
we need. How many people really need the CIS (Commercial Instruction Set)
portion of the CPU in their PDP-11/44's or 3 Serial boards for terminals? I
also limit the drives to what I need typically (I've even been known to
unplug CD drives on PC's).
