My first high school computer class was on a PDP-8. I eventually became a computer programmer and work on DEC systems. I remember really liking it and I learned a lot. Those were the good old days.
About 40 yr ago I was working with System Industries in Europe. We sold mostly our SI 9400 controllers with SI 9775 Winchester Hard drives. The controller had 4 ports to connect mixed PDP11 and VAX systems not only to a RAID Database, but also served as the fastest computer interconnect. Those system admins smart enough had many benefits and cost savings. But DEC didn't want to allow a mixed Hardware setup and limited their Warrenty.
I love me some Classic Digital Electronic Corp Information, This is how I learned working on The In's and Out's of Computers in the 70's.. Love to see more. Yea got a New Sub, that love the Classic Basic MINI / Workstation / Server Computers..

Always great to see a PDP11 video pop up :). Very informative, Thanks

Interesting thanks for the memories
Very interesting video. Thanks a lot!

I believe the LSI-11 QBUS was only 18-bit. The 22-bit version came later.
That's right
I’m sorry to say but the PDP 117- never came in a BA11-K type enclosure😂😂😂
How does the PDP-11 handle conflicts (when two devices are already using it) and a third device want to use it?
