I'll have to get round the back of it and see what's on the nameplate.
I can take some pictures but won't be able to upload them while the
current lockdown carries on.

It's currently not linked to anything. I think it was once on an
11/34, I've had it on my 11/45

I also have a PPL frame buffer which uses a hard disk as the video
memory (rotates once every frame time, the video signal is recorded as
analogue FM) with a Unibus interface. And 3 I2S (International Imaging
Systems) video display/processor systems -- a Model 70/E with 6
planes, a Model 70/F4 and a Model 75. I do have a lot of
documentation, including schematics, for those.
