hello ,I do not very often come to this list ,first best wishes to all ,then, about pdp11 micro processor ,it is really easy to buy new in russia pdp11 processors made by a company called angstom ,or used ones from ebay (simply look for pdp-11),the documentation is fully available ,also are the schematics of the bk0010 ,a 'toy' that uses this processor,and speaks focal,basic and assembler.They are not t11,but rather 11/03 compatible,some version have fpu. To find the documentation go to the google groups for bk0010.You will find lots of things ,of course alas ,text is in russian ,I do not speak russian ,but electronics is everywhere the same,and electronic translators work quite well.The people of this group mostly in russia are very friendly ,and could be of help ,they helped me in understanding some things about those machines,they are porting a small unix (bkunix) on it.There are also correspondance tables between russian ic and the ones we use commonly ,do you need more details? thanks best regards alain nierveze ----- Message d'origine ----- De : <bfranchuk at jetnet.ab.ca> ? : "General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts" <cctalk at classiccmp.org> Envoy? : jeudi 1 janvier 2009 20:45 Objet : Re: T-11 (was Re: PDP-11/70 cache memory) but as hardware
