 I have an  original 1969 PDP 11 brochure.  In it there are two PDP 11   model

 For  me at least this
 throws into question the whole "...the 10 first  came out with the 5
 in1972..." story everyone repeats over and  over, unless one must have a
 "10" printed on the console in order  to accept a computer model's
 existence.  DEC must not have  sold many original 10 models, and/or  everyone
  who has a  10 does not realize that's what
they have.  But, facts are   facts

   the original 
bare-bones pdp11 was the pdp-11 10, the fully-equipped  version
  was the pdp-11 20. 
 I will definitely correct myself in  the future. It would be interresting
 to see if anyone has a  "numberless" machine with the "M11-10"
 designation printed on the  back, to see if any was actually delivered
 (and I wouldn't be  surprised if there was).

 /P

Here is the doc in  question. Note is says 11/10 and 11/20

hahahha!!!!   turnkey console on 10
programmers  console on 20

in brochure!
