Introduction
The PDP-11 was, and is, an extremely successful and influential
family of machines which has spanned over two decades from the early
1970s through the mid 1990s. This note is an attempt to gather
some of the knowledge on this family and present it for the benefit
of those who are enthusiasts, curious, or downright confused as to
what the -11 was and is, and how it related and still relates to its
world.
The information presented is compiled from the memory and
notebooks of both myself and a number of people who have filled in
the many gaps in my memory or set me straight on certain details.
