And for a bonus point, which signal description had an asterisk beside
it with a footnote, "add an extra 20 minutes on Saturday night" before
marketing found out and scotched it?
cheers,

Paul,
I'm not an 11 expert but don't most instruction fetches (or the last
clock phase on an instruction) cause the pc to increment by one?

Reminds me of the "PDP-11 trivia contest" that was held at DECUS, I
think on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the PDP-11. If so
that would have been 2000. I still have the poster that went with it
somewhere. And I remember the question I contributed: "On what model
and under what circumstances will the PC increment by 1?"

Do you understand "Stop this RIM RAM or I will DEC you"?
Do you know what PDP is an acronym for?
Do you think in PDP-11 Assembler.
Do you know the difference between OS/8 and RTS/8.
Is EMACS your friend?
Can you discuss the advantages of Tops 10 over Tops 20.
Have you ever programmed a DEC 18 bit machine?
Does VAX have nothing to do with vacuum cleaners?
If you can answer yes to any of these I am hosting a "DECnut" pizza
party, at my house, Saturday, September 9th at 7PM with pizza to be
delivered sometime after that.
If you are interested please stop by my table (first 2 tables to the
left of the door in the "big iron" room). Look for the PDP-8/E with
an RX02 attached.
Please feel free to pass this email on to any DEC fan.
Thanks,
Mike
