Me. > The days of 4K core is long gone. I have Unibus machines that were 8 or more "system units" (DD11CK equivalents), and a PDP-11/20 that takes up 3 BA-11 boxes. 60% of it is 4K core stacks, BTW, just like the day it was made in 1972. It only has a handful of peripherals (console, RK11, LP11...) > Use TTL and try to keep the systems small. That's great if one is cobbling together a new system, but it doesn't help when one is trying to breathe life into an existing system by adding a modern peripheral because ancient disks are no longer reasonably available. -ethan
