I hope I am making my point - I am suggesting that
everyone stop
quoting and repeating the DEC wiki's on the web. They all need to be
updated to reflect this subtle difference.
The thing is that there never was a physical PDP-11/10 of the first type, it
was just marketing plans; whereas there were/are still many physical -11/10's
of the second type.
Yes, detailed histories might (and many do) indicate that the name
"PDP-11/10" was originally allocated to what later became the 11/15, but to
the extent that one allocates the name "-11/10" to anything, it should, by
virtue of the point above, be to the KD11-B machine.

For my personal knowledge and understanding, what detailed histories are
these that you refer to that say there was never a single KA11 11/10 sold,
not one installed? Most of what I have read about this time has been
anecdotal, not old-fashioned sales figures or marketing reports. I have
checked all of the sources that I have for more details, not much found to
confirm or refute this. I have the 1969 Keydata industry guide, but I'd
need the 1970 version that would be the ideal source if anyone has it, for
sales/prices/etc.
