find performance spec's on the PDP 11/24. Is this the
same as the original 11/23?
The same execution speed? Yes, I believe so.
How would it compare with a 11/34A?
I'm not sure. I've never compared relative PDP-11 performance,
but there should be some literature from the period that does.
From what I can see the 34A was restricted to
256Kwords of RAM
Yes.... 18-bit address bus. no mapping.
whereas the 11/24 seems to support up to 1Mwords?
It _should_ be 2Mwords, but only if you have a KT-24 (MMU)
board installed. Then, I think it's only the same 256Kwords
as an 11/34, since there's no Unibus Map.
I _think_ that the 11/24 can use the same memory as an 11/44 (256K and 1MB
boards), but someone with contant network access should be able to verify
that.
