If you have an actual 11/20, you should be ecstatic! ;-)

I know the vintage of one of them - I worked with it in 1971 as an
engineering student. That one still has its RC disk which works, and
runs (I have DOS installed on it, just as it originally ran).
The other has some Diablo 30 (RK03) disks, which are not entirely happy
at present.

Q: Do they read
PDP-11
PDP-11/20
pdp11/20
11/20
If we're going to get picky about this, then let's not ignore case and
punctuation.
How many of those are actual existing variations, and how many are
ignoring trivial stuff like punctuation and case?
And just to complete the issue, what kind of font do they use?
I am more thinking after getting them to run, it is more like
PDP 11/20+ and PDP 11/20- .
